ROBOTS IN DISGUISE are situated between Gainsbourg, Chicks On Speed and Kraftwerk and combine the attitude of The Slits with the post-punk harmonies of Delta 5, all exquisitely produced by SNEAKER PIMPS' Chris Corner (I Am X). Dream ESG, Elastica and Serge Gainsbourg in a pop clusterfuck. Currently mid-way through a UK tour with the inimitable Mighty Boosh the robotettes are making soundwaves across the nation. XFM has already confirmed a live session for June and the single is starting to be played on Radio 1.
A headline UK tour is set for May, so prepare to be zapped…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.
Full length album ‘Get Rid’ released on July 3rd.
