Formed while attending film school in Southern California, SAINT MOTEL’s kaleidoscopic sound and inventive live performances have earned the band a loyal fanbase that flock to its headlining shows and standout sets at festivals such as Coachella, Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo.
The band scored breakout success with their 2015 Elektra Records debut, “My Type” EP, whose title track was a top 10 hit on alternative radio and RIAA-certified Gold. The following year, SAINT MOTEL returned with their much anticipated, full-length “saintmotelevision,” featuring the smash single “Move.” Always on the cutting edge, SAINT MOTEL subsequently released an award-winning virtual reality version of the album, followed by an augmented reality version – both firsts of their kind.
The band members have taken their infectious performances to the small screen with nationally televised appearances on NBC’s “TODAY,” ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and CBS’ “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” among others.
SAINT MOTEL is A/J Jackson (vocals), Aaron Sharp (guitar), Dak Lerdamornpong (bass) and Greg Erwin (drums). Listen to their music.
This concert is coordinated by WSU’s Student Activities Council, a student-led group charged with shaping campus culture through hosting unique experiences and memorable events. Student leaders gain transferable skills that prepare them for their future career pursuits. Sponsors include WSU’s Campus Recreation, Office of Student Affairs, and Student Engagement, Advocacy & Leadership.
