• Thank you Rolling Stone.

  RollingStone.com shows us a little love!

  "While much of New Mexico's live music scene revolves around songwriters and roots bands, Albuquerque has its own underground scene, and a few of its bands have earned some mainstream success. Playing a kind of post-punk power pop, Lousy Robot have released three albums and had their music featured on MTV, the Travel Channel, Bravo and Animal Planet. Another band, the two-piece Elevator Boys, play a bashing style of garage-psych"

• Road to the Open

  Hey everyone,

  More updates from the Dead Letter Office.  This one is pretty exciting. Lousy Robot will be featured in the movie Road to the Open.  Can you say Judd Nelson!? 

  We expect the movie to hit select theaters this October in LA, NY, SF, Chicago, Atlanta.

  Here is the trailer, which basically is one big Lousy Robot video.

   

• Balance Ep.3- My Way from Lee Visual on Vimeo.

  A while back the people over at The Balance reached out to us to license some of our music for their show.  We agreed.  They sent us this link yesterday so we wanted to share.

• We are still here.

  We have not posted in a long time and we are sorry about that.  Sometimes just making it through each day provides us all enough to fill out time.  That and we have been targeting our Facebook page a lot more because we really like the ability for you to communicate back with us.  So if you want to keep up with us where we actually post the most head over to Facebook.com/lousyrobot and become our friend.

  In other news we are working on some new material and we should have a Rariry and B-Side album out soon as well.  

  Stay tuned!

• Up next is Frank Turner.

  Frank Turner came up on the iPod early this morning. It reminded me of the time Jim was opening for Frank the first time. Jim closed his set with "Outdoor Type". Later Frank tells Jim how much he loves that song and that he also does a cover of it. The next day we do a little research and find there are many many videos of Frank doing the song live as well as it appearing on one of his recordings.
  
  Nothing like crashing the headliners set unknowingly.
  
  I suggest you look him up and take a listen. A mash up of Folk, Punk Rock and good old bar songs. Not to mention one of the best lyricists around.

• We love our fans!

  A fan created video that we ran across.  It is always nice when someone reates a video for one of our songs, even better when they capture the feeling so well.

• Featured on MTV's Savage U

  Lousy Robot have the best MTV rep ever. Based on our past contributions, they have chosen to offer a promotional mp3 download of a few songs featured in their program Savage U and on MTV’s Soundtrack Blog. Scottie fucking rocks. They picked one of my favorites, Perfectly Confused.

  You can check out the video for it here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XMpFa_KjrU

  Tune in on Wed. 5/16.

• Where did all the old posts go?

  Hey all, we are in the middle of some renovations here at LR HQ.  That means things will be moving around, some links might be broken and other weirdness.  Hopefully when the dust settles there will be only new hotness all around.

  Until then, all the older posts are available here: http://lousyrobot.virb.com/tumblr

• A Little Sincerity is a Dangerous Thing

  Okay, we should chat.

  There are big things. And there are BIG things. Lousy Robot will be opening for the Lemonheads on Saturday, February 4, at Launchpad. They will be performing It’s a Shame About Ray in its entirety. That record was the Bible to me. We are all beside ourselves. We’ll see you there.

  Also, our listens and downloads have taken a huge leap. We wanted to take a moment to thank you for that. We love you like crazy.

  Tackles, injuries, surgeries, new record underway, etc. That’s all the rest.
