In February 1983, the band returned to the recording studio and released the album Little Robbers later that year . Again, Garay made extensive use of session musicians . For albums, The Motels line - up was Davis and a revolving cast of musicians; for concerts there was a definitive band that included Thurston on additional keyboards and guitars . </P> <P> "Suddenly Last Summer", the first single from the album, hit No. 9 on the Hot 100 in the United States, with the album hitting no . 1 on Billboard's Album Rock Tracks chart and going gold in the U.S., Canada, and several other countries .

The band continued performing under new management, and they recorded songs for two film soundtracks: "Long Day" was recorded for Moscow on the Hudson and "In the Jungle" was recorded for Teachers . By mid-summer, the band was back in the recording studio working on new material . </P> <P> In late 1984, Capitol Records brought in producer Richie Zito in an attempt to maintain the band's commercialism .

The first single from the album was "Shame", which reached No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 10 on the Top Rock Tracks chart in the U.S. Two other singles were taken from the album: the title - track "Shock" and "Icy Red", with the former peaking at No. 84 on the Billboard chart .
