The Motels are an American new wave band from Berkeley, California that is best known for the singles “Only the Lonely“ and “Suddenly Last Summer“, each of which peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, in 1982 and 1983, respectively. In 1980, The Motels song “Total Control“ reached No. 7 on the Australian chart (for two weeks), and their song “Danger“ reached No. 15 on the French chart.
Martha Davis, the lead singer, reformed a version of the band called “The Motels featuring Martha Davis“ in 1998 and toured under that name with various line-ups of musicians.
In 2013, the band was re-christened with a permanent name, Martha Davis and The Motels. That band is touring the world with a line-up of musicians that have been playing with Davis for over 10 years, longer than the original Motels.
