Micky and The Motorcars

Thirteen years can put a hell of a lot of wear and tear on even the hardiest of rock n roll bands. But dont be fooled by all those hundreds of thousands of miles on Micky & the Motorcars odometer: pop the hood of Hearts From Above, the long-running Austin bands seventh album, and youll find a brand-new engine, fine-tuned and good to run for at least as many more miles still ahead. And behind the wheel? Two brothers and founding members Micky Braun (lead vocals and guitar) and Gary Braun (guitar, mandolin, harmonica, and vocals) invigorated and supercharged by a transfusion of new blood from fresh recruits Josh Owen (lead guitar/pedal steel), Joe Fladger (bass), and Bobby Paugh (drums). Micky and Gary, who by their own admission, havent been this fired up about playing together since they first rode south from the Whitecloud Mountains of Idaho to stake their claim to the Texas and wider Americana music scenes.
