Motion Theory are appearing as part of a Freshers week night as their only Bristol gig in the 2009 tour. This alt-rock foursome had some success in 2008 with their debut EP 'Sunlight on the Sand' and have brought the music and live performances to a new level with their debut album 'featherhead'. The title track was a semi-finalist in the UK Songwriting Awards and the entire album was Manchester Music's Unsigned Record of the Week (14 September 2009)

The band is Dom Main - vocals/keyboards Jamie Wesley - guitar James Kerr - Bass Will Soutter - Drums Feedback on album/tour so far: "the ingredients of a good night out: robust rock rhythms, soaring vocals and impressive guitar solos" (Newcastle Echo)

"Technically Motion Theory are on to some really promising ideas. Singer Dom has an impressive range, the guitar and bass work are superb..this band have all the makings of something special indeed" (Manchester Music) "a robust affair in the vein of the Red Hot Chilis" (Yorkshire Evening Post)
