Focus Motel is a lamp often accompanied on stage by the
performance art group "Focus Motel." George Brockett, Matt
Tabor, Gordon Ashby, and Jeremy Ward make up the performance
group which portrays an electric/dance/rock band. This
fascinating breakthrough in performance art and lamp technology
has yielded results described by Brockett as "Totally bonkers."
Ashby knew his old lamp had potential from the start. "I was
just staring at it one day when the idea hit me," says Ashby, "a
band can only go so far you know, but a lamp... the potential
there is totally untested." And thus, Focus Motel was born.
Known for its consistent output of high-intensity fluorescent light,
Focus Motel has gained a cult following through several
performances in otherwise poorly lit basements.
"I invited them over because I needed some work done on the pipes
running beneath my house... which are very poorly lit..." an
avid fan states, "But these idiots showed up with a bunch of
gear and blew my ears out for nearly an hour. Afterward they
just shuffled around in the corner until I shut off the power
and the lamp went out. I can only assume they are still down
there."
Did the pipes get fixed? Probably not. Did Focus Motel rock the
shit out of that elderly man's basement? Very yes. Are they
still down there shuffling around aimlessly in the dark? Quite
possibly.
