The dualism implied in the name of the Los Angeles band Robotanists is no misnomer. The quartet thrives on toeing the line between natures fragility and the imperviousness of cold steel. (Ragged/Filter Magazine) The Silver Lake foursome released their debut EP Close Down the Woods last December, then crisscrossed the US performing and recording non-stop. The band will finally return to the stage in LA on June 2nd at The Silverlake Lounge and on June 17th at Echo Curio. Each show will feature the mesmerizing, hypnotic and engaging (BeatCrave.com) songs of Close Down the Woods as well as tracks from their forthcoming digital only release Shapes and Variations, a collection of reharmonized and rearranged covers that includes songs by INXS, Gnarles Barkley, Joe Jackson, Bryan Adams, Foreigner and a few more pop surprises. Look for Robotanists covering a Tears for Fears track on an iTunes exclusive album benefiting Alzheimers research later this year alongside The Bird and the Bee and others. ROBOTANISTS hit the stage at 9 pm on 6/2 and will be joined by Black Kites, The Capshuns and Vanaprasta. Catch them before they head out on the road again in July.

By: aras Website
Aras started playing guitar a year and a half ago, thinking it would make him more attractive to the opposite sex. Learning just 3 chords he set up on the 3rd st promenade with his guitar and a large sign that read "Single and Available". The scheme worked and Aras found himself in what could loosely be described as a relationship. She probably wouldn't have described it that way. When the two parted ways, Aras was left with 3 chords and a crushed ego. He wrote some songs. Most of which are rather uninteresting. "The Sword in the Stone" bucks that trend of uninteresting song writing by this LA native. A truly lyric driven piece, he does a fine job of working it....so to speak.
