DELI MAGAZINE - JULY 2009 - BAND OF THE MONTH -
In many ways Cinderella Motel fits the mold of a typical garage band, but after a few listens it’s clear that these rockers have an edge over their peers. Combining frantic beats with eccentric charm, the foursome has mastered the art of innovation. Their songs are driven and upbeat, and refuse to sacrifice whimsicality even when taking a serious turn. Tammy Tomahawk’s vocals are stellar, retaining a feminine quality despite a rough Joan Jett-esque howl. ~~ Stephanie Freitag, DELI MAGAZINE LA
NAMED ONE OF THE 'HOT 100 UNSIGNED BANDS OF 2008' BY MUSIC CONNECTION MAGAZINE!
"Although there are other acts using accordions these days (e.g. Arcade Fire), nobody has quite the slant on the instrument like these guys do. This group stands out because they dare to be different; and, even more importantly, they make it work."---MUSIC CONNECTION, Doug Deringer

Cinderella is running - accordion in one hand, electric guitar in the other, microphone dangling out of her mouth. Outlaws and stepsisters are on her tail > Her only escape = a new moniker - “Tammy Tomahawk” – simply known to some as “The Hawk”.
Donning warpaint and an improvised headdress , Hawk’s utmost need is a place to exercise her eccentricity. A Craigslist posting later, looking for a multi-instrumentalist, Hawk finds quirky, stoic native Angeleno drummer, Raul Guerrero. Coincidentally, Raul owns a motel and thus, Hawk moves her antics/instruments into Room 3.
This is October 2007 - Cinderella MOTEL is born.
Shortly after, the duo’s debut EP: No Vacancy, Mr. Prince is recorded at GrandMaster Studios, Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, traveling salesman, Mike Wait arrives and never leaves. In exchange for room/board, CM gains his wacky guitar /keyboard stylings and technical wizardry.
A “Maintenance Help Wanted” sign is posted out front of the motel. Jen Whittenburg responds. Coincidentally,she play bass, be an engineer and possess a long mane of hot red hair.
Since Tomahawk checked into her room almost 2 yrs ago, the sonic dimensions and weirdness of the motel have become grander and more complex. The more time you spend at Cinderella MOTEL , the more your senses will thank you.
Warning: Live shows may be accompanied by ketchup, feathers, handstands, volunteers and the occasional booty-shakin’ evil stepsister.
