In an ever changing and evolving music industry, whilst the digital age has transformed so
many aspects of how artists operate, one thing that will never change is the desire to get
in the van and take the music out on the road: live, personal and in your face.

‘I am incredibly excited to see our first Wheels In Motion tour hit the road in September
with three of our homegrown emerging artists playing some of the UK’s best independent
venues. As an independent live agency booking tours and festivals worldwide Motion Talent
is committed to investing in artists by creating high quality touring and being involved at
the beginning with marketing, PR, transport, accommodation and technical support unlike
anyone else. I see it as our responsibility not only to represent established artists but also
to actively create tomorrow’s talent – Wheels In Motion is just that and hopefully will be
the first of many great tours in the future.’

First up, London via Bristol trio The Jacques have been carving their way up and down the
country and the EU with post punk legends Public Image Limited in recent times, and since
first forming as young teenagers, they’ve supported The Libertines at Hyde Park and played
Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds. Their story has been fraught with as many ups as downs,
but The Jacques have proved themselves to be true road warriors and survivors. Their genresmashing fusion of mutant punk, psychedelic grunge and joyous indie rock never fails to hit
the spot.

‘Being on the road is the best,’ state the band. ‘We spent most of last year on tour in
endless scrapes and adventures and it was while bouncing around the back of the van on a
cold night up north that we thought of getting our label mates to come and join us on a tour
like the old school ones. It’s going to be a blast!’

Also joining the tour are Liverpool’s The Sukis, who are fast making a name for themselves
as one of the most exciting alternative rock bands on the scene today. Punky, intelligent
and an explosive live act, their songs dive deep into the psyche of what it is to be young.

Lastly, Pistol Daisys are storming the alt-pop scene with a fierce energy that’s quickly
earned them a devoted following, blending Glasgow’s vibrant grit with heartfelt

electronic elements.
