For those who haven't heard, Koko is leaving us to pursue her dreams in the Big Apple. We wish her all the best! But what will Robustitron do? Make music, of course! That's what we do. Not julienne fries. Kapeesh? Viet will keep singing and guitaring, Alex will keep bassing and synthing, and Toby will keep drumming like Animal. Keep an eye out for some new demos. What new musical directions lay in store? Actually, we were thinking of exploring our muppet influences: |
El Rio SF at 3158 Mission St (@ Cesar Chavez), San Francisco
MONDAY, July 28, 2008 / 8pm / 21+ / $5
;)
Robustitron returns to El Rio in the Mission/SF for some Monday night melodies. Kelly McFarling opens the show with some banjo-infused bluegrass folk. The boys of Johnny Walnut close the night out with some whiskey-infused southern-style rawk-n-roll. Who wants to man the BBQ?
The Starry Plough at 3101 Shattuck Ave @ Prince [near Ashby BART], Berkeley, CA 94705
FRIDAY, July 11, 2008 / 9:30pm / 21+ / $8
;)
Friday night. Time to party. Loudly. Robustitron teams up with reggae-dub act Temple of Roots and the experimental-hip-hop TripKnight at The Starry Plough. This Irish Revolutionary-rooted watering hole has been a staple on the Berkeley scene since before we were born. Old skool meets new sound. It's not an earthquake... it's the backbeat. Oh, and it's not beer... it's "ale."
featuring Robustitron and a whole bunch of other bands!
Soundwave Studios: Hourly Studios at 2200 Wood Street in West Oakland

When Viet was going to Cal, he'd walk by or see shows at Blakes, thinking someday it'd be cool to play a show there. Now we're playing a show there! On the same stage formerly graced by the likes of Train, Cake, and Rancid. Start your weekend with us in this historic East Bay music venue as we rock out to celebrate... um, tax day?
501 Dolores St @ 18th St, San Francisco
FRIDAY, March 21, 2008 / 8:00pm / $5

Same songs, different groove. It's Robustitron, re-mixed. Toby leaves his massive drum kit at home, as Robustitron introduces it's DJ/lounge act. Dance, all thou extroverts! Head-bob, all thou introverts! And, of course, EAT, all thou ravenous youth! Chow down on whatever suits your fancy, or rather, your character: pizza, salad, mocha, or smoothie. (Oh, and in case you're wondering, that's Alex, Toby, Koko, and Viet, respectively.)
Milk Bar SF, 1840 Haight St (@ Stanyan), San Francisco

Time to show us some love in the Haight. We've put together three booty-shakin'-liscous bands for a night of pure fun. DJ Nasty Nate will be spinning some grooves in between sets. Easy Street 8:30, Robustitron 9:30, Bella Bella 10:30. It's across the street from Amoeba Records. You buy records, right?
