My Robot Friend (aka Howard Robot) comes from the emerging New York City’s underground electronic scene. He’s opened for such acts as Le Tigre, Herbert, and Scissor Sisters. From what I’ve read, he’s live shows are something to behold. His shows have been described as Laurie Anderson meets Wizard of Oz complete with neon lights and pyrotechnics.
And is it just me (or this it could just be the result of listening to too much Depeche Mode), but I can swear I hear a sample in the background from the song “Pipeline” off the Construction Time Again LP.
