Background The bassist/multi-instrumentalist Chris Constantinou and drummer Rat Scabies collaborated for some years as core members of The Mutants rock supergroup. When making the fourth Mutants album, Rat also noticed some other demos Chris was working on and this turned into the project One Thousand Motels, involving only the two of them (quicker and easier to put into practice, considering the logistics around The Mutants musicians as a supergroup).
