The Rock Subculture Journal covered Martha Davis and The Motels and their appearance at Lost 80s Live at the Crest Theatre in Sacramento last year, and plans to cover the show at Blu42 Sports Lounge in Walnut Creek this week. As mentioned in my past review, the set by Martha Davis and The Motels was the highlight of the night for me with that impressive, multi-artist line-up, so that was saying a lot given the talent that graced the stage that evening.
