Louis Motton

Louis Motton is a former member of the punk rock band Ravaged Doghouse, which also included the members Jason Friedman and Drew Adams.

Louis Motton was born in 1970. At some point, he came to encounter the rock band Van Halen, and became employed under them as a roadie during their tour in 1988. It was also during this same time that Motton learned more than a few guitar tricks from Eddie Van Halen himself.

Following this, around 1990 or so, Motton came to meet high schooler Jason Friedman, who was the only member of his own rock band, Ravaged Doghouse, in which he sang vocals and played bass. Motton joined as the lead guitarist, while Friedman's fellow school friend Drew Adams joined as the drummer in August.

With Ravaged Doghouse, Motton did a few small shows around the local area of Union, Ohio, building up a small following, which was enough to record and release an EP, Return of the Ravaged, on February 4th, 1991. In June of that year, Ravaged Doghouse opened for the hard rock/punk rock act Rollins Band in Cleveland, Ohio, their biggest claim to fame yet.

However, come September 1991, Friedman's mother grew tired of their loud practicing in her garage, leading to the breakup of the band. It is unknown what happened to Motton after this event.
