Motel California

Motel California is the third album by the American rock band Ugly Kid Joe, and released on October 22, 1996. Motel California was the last full-length studio album until 2015. The group disbanded in January 1997 and reformed in 13 years later in January 2010. The album received lukewarm reviews and was a commercial failure.

The title is a parody of the Eagles' album, Hotel California. The song "Rage Against the Answering Machine" is a pun on the name of the Los Angeles rock band Rage Against the Machine.

The re-recorded acoustic version of the song "Would You Like to be There" appears as a bonus track from 2012 EP Stairway to Hell.

Music videos for the songs "Bicycle Wheels" and "Sandwich" were previously unreleased for almost a decade. They were finally surfaced in the internet in 2006
