Following a sold out UK tour with the inimitable Mighty Boosh the Bots are making soundwaves across the nation. Already, ‘Turn It Up’ has been welcomed to the XFM and 6 Music playlists ( a Lamacq Single of the Week) and sessions have been recorded. Their own tour begins next week.
At the height of our disembodied digital era, two disguised femme-bots descend to deliver their funkpunk message to undiscerning humanoids inclined to the sounds of artful proto punk, exuberant electro-pop and new wave expressionism. SUE DENIM and DEE PLUME are Robots in Disguise, two perfectly harmonizing automatons programmed to create crafty left-field punk-pop and paying tribute as female counterparts to the rock stage personas of David Bowie and Iggy Pop, respectively. On guitars, xylophone, flute, and singing, shouting, throwing out DIY moves, RID entertain their audiences in a true old-skool retro style mixed with riot grrrl fervor as Dee's aerobic guitar solos and Sue's grooving bass lines dance over poetic lyrics and chunky electronic beats.
RID’s spiky, electro-gasmic single ‘Turn It Up’ will be released on limited edition vinyl and CD on 5th June through President Records, with a full length album ‘Get Rid’ scheduled for release on July 3rd. The robotettes will be touring throughout May.
