Unmotivated: Pretty Motivated!

 It all started late 2006 when Josh MacFarland and Nate Jones decided to become “unmotivated” to simply hang out and make ceremonial noise. The lead singer Brian Adams (not THAT Bryan Adams!) joined the noise fest in late 2007. Bassist Zach Hendricks, percussionist Cansey Green, and lead guitarist Vidak completed the motivational seminar. The St. Petersburg-based musical six-pack started performing at local venues and, according to MacFarland, it’s been a “fun-filled journey of ‘unmotivated moments.”  
MacFarland states that Unmotivated has made a “pretty big name” in the local scene and currently enjoys a solid “motivated” local following since its inception three years ago..”The venues that support local bands have been great to work with and have been nothing but professional examples,” adds MacFarland. “We’ve hopefully formed good, healthy, long-lasting lasting relationships with the business that supports our music.” Unmotivated has been featured in several on-line magazines, including Underground Xpress, Skaflamagazine, and PCI Promotions.  
“Myspace has been a basic addition since the start of doing gigs and has provided an electronic ‘word-of’mouth’ so to speak,” he says. “We’ve played all over, including Gainesville, Orlando and other remote parts of Florida. We’re hoping to play more and more as we get confident about our abilities to continue to dazzle audiences throughout!” So, yes Unmotivated are, indeed, available for bookings and seeking sponsorship. “We’ve shared the stage with the likes of Dirty Heads, Supervillians, Iration, Outlaw Nation and Ballyhoo.” MacFarland insists that all wisdom seekers check out Unmotivated at www.myspace.com/unmotivatedband.
