Lousy Robot - Powerpop Indie Rock from Albuquerque, NM

“ When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.” —Hunter S. Thompson

— This has been, to say the least, a Weird Year. And we in the Lousy Robot camp have decided that it should not be swept under the rug and forgotten. No, no … instead it should be celebrated. With a really REALLY weird record. So we’re hard at work on just such a thing and it is more fun than we could have hoped for. Little did we know that taking an Experimental approach to recording would end in such an Experimental result. That’s how it goes, though. We didn’t necessarily choose this path, but we’ll by God follow it to the end.

So … 2009 will begin for us in much the same way that 2008 ended. Recording, recording and more recording. We just hope that this year will be as ugly, raw, decadent, depraved, backwards, savage, gratifying and satisfying as the one we just ended. Not just for us … but for you, as well.

Fragile 2.0 or The Return of Fragile

Tonight we pretty much put the finishing touches on Fragile. Fragile isn’t really a new song for us, its not even the first time we recorded it. We recorded it on a whim while on tour in Dallas over a year ago. This version is light years different then what the original recording was or the way we played it live. I really think people are going to love it. It was all inspired by a little drum fill.

Check out the picture below for a clear understand of how the song might go.

You didn’t know how rock-n-roll looked, Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group.

Christmas in Berlin (Moody & Tragic San Jose Mix). It’s not totally finished and has a scratch vocal track that I needs to be redone, but we dont think this one will make the record, so we thought we would share it with you here.

The experiment continues.

Sorry about the long gap between posts. This time of year is always a little hard to stay on schedule. But don’t worry, we are progressing on the songs. Last night Jim and I (Dandee) continued working on Fragile. Some of you might recognize that song from our live shows, but trust me the record version will be light years different from what you have heard. In fact so far I have to say this one is the biggest departure from what we have done in the past. We are excited to see where it goes.

I will see if I can scratch up another sneak peak of something soon. In the mean time, please visit us at MTV and vote for us.

Tonight Was All About Jack …

Good thing too, cause it’s his birthday. Happy Birthday, Jackson! We had limoncello (homemade) and delicious beer tonight in the studio. (Okay … so there’s ALWAYS beer. Whatever.) Plus cupcakes!

But we got the work done, cause the studio requires professionalism. And we are chock full of that, man. Keys and strings and background vocals for Andy Warhol Is Gone tonight. This one is really taking shape. Prepare to dance. No, seriously … prepare to dance your ass clean off.

I've said it all, I've said everything.

Last night we tweaked out Andy Warhol Is Gone even further. We just need to redo a couple performances, and get the drums redone and we will officially have demo #3 in the bag. Next on the agenda is to rework a couple songs that we finished a while back into something more in line with what we think this record is going to be all about.

I will post a snippet of a song a little later this week so check back.
