Recording and Playing Shows

30.01.2009, 0 Comments

What is the most fun - recording or playing shows? We are indecisive. We like both. As I am writing this Matthias is cutting guitar tracks in the Rakete, our practice space. The songs are about wrestling and the riots in Paris. We are confident. Every place of beauty is on our mother earth. Our planet is the best one in the whole universe! We will play some shows in France to try out the new songs and to meet other people apart from ourselves. Those are the dates, please come!

Neu! News from The Robocop Kraus! English version: below! 

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

 

Liebe Fanatiker, Liebe Reiseteil-Leser der Zeit,

 

“Fehlende Wurstwerbung macht einen Fleischesser auch nicht zum Vegetarier.”

 

Siegfried Gallus, (*1954), Präsident des Bayerischen Hotel- und Gaststätten-Verbands | Zitat-Nr.: 11690

 

Ganz schön lange nichts gehört voneinander, aber hiermit soll die Funkstille beendet sein. Es gibt nämlich neues zu Berichten, nur, wo fange ich bloß an? 

Das Wichtigste zuerst: Wir haben wieder einmal einen neuen Bassisten.

Er hört auf den Namen Robin van Velzen (seine Freunde nennen ihn salopp “Excalibur”), kommt aus der Nähe von Groningen/Holland und ist ein zauberhafter Gentleman. 

 

Nachdem unsere letzte Tour etwas anstrengender als erwartet verlaufen ist, haben wir alle erstmal ein wenig Luft zum atmen gebraucht und haben die Zeit mit Nichts tun genutzt. Dann sind uns plötzlich lange Bärte gewachsen und wir haben uns zufällig im Bandraum getroffen und reflexartig angefangen, neue Songs mit Titeln wie “For those who found a job (we salute you)” zu schreiben. Wir wollen im Januar ins Studio gehen um ein paar neue Songs aufzunehmen. Diese sollen dann als 12″ Vinyl bei dem wunderbaren Label ALTIN VILLAGE  (http://www.altinvillage.de) aus Dresden erscheinen.

 

Auch Live werden wir in nächster Zeit wieder öfter zu sehen sein.

 

01.12.08    Karlsruhe         “Jubez”

02.12.08    Düsseldorf       “Pretty Vacant”

03.12.08    Luxemburg      “Dqliq”

04.12.08    Frankfurt           “Nachtleben” mit “Like a Stuntman”

05.12.08    Berlin                “Festsaal Kreuzberg” mit “Bonaparte”&”Urlaub in Polen”

06.12.08    Hamburg          “Prinzenbar”

07.12.08    Bielefeld           “Kamp” mit “Like a Stuntman” & “Lovvers”

 

20.12.08    Nürnberg          Fest der Liebe im K4  mit Pollyester, Here comes Conclusion, Werle und Stankowski, ZomboCombo

 

15.01.09    Reutlingen       “Franz K” mit “Monochrome”

16.01.09    Aarau                “Kiff”

17.01.09    Basel                 “Sommercasino”

 

bis bald, wir freuen uns, euch wieder zu sehen.

 

eure Robos

ENGLISH VERSION

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

 

Dear fanatics,

 

long time no hear, but hereby we declare the silence to be over. We are all well and we hope so are you. There is lots of stuff happening here.

Firstly: We have a new bass player, so you don’t need to worry about that. His name is Robin Van Veltzen, Excalibur from Rotterdam, an oldtime collaborateur and good looking gentleman. 

 

After our last two month tour through Europe we needed some time off. We took advantage of our time and did nothing and suddenly we had grown beards and found each other back in a practice space with instruments in our hands. We wrote songs that have titles like “For those who found a job (we salute you)” out of reflex and played shows in Moscow and now we want to record new songs in January. Those are supposed to come out as a 12″ vinyl release on the wonderful Altin Village label (http://www.altinvillage.de).

 

Apart from that we will play some live shows in Germany and Switzerland.

 

 

01.12.08    Karlsruhe         “Jubez”

02.12.08    Düsseldorf       “Pretty Vacant”

03.12.08    Luxemburg      “Dqliq”

04.12.08    Frankfurt           “Nachtleben” mit “Like a Stuntman”

05.12.08    Berlin                “Festsaal Kreuzberg” mit “Bonaparte”&”Urlaub in Polen”

06.12.08    Hamburg          “Prinzenbar”

07.12.08    Bielefeld           “Kamp” mit “Like a Stuntman” & “Lovvers”

 

20.12.08    Nürnberg          Fest der Liebe im K4  mit Pollyester, Here comes Conclusion, Werle und Stankowski, Zombo Combo

 

15.01.09    Reutlingen       “Franz K” mit “Monochrome”

16.01.09    Aarau                “Kiff”

17.01.09    Basel                 “Sommercasino”

 

There will be more shows, also in your country.

 

Looking forward to seeing you,

 

the Robos

Hans and El Rincon doing an Interview

26.11.2007, 1 Comment

Hi Folks, how are you doing? just thought i am going to post this interview with Hans and El Rincon, conducted in their native tongue. We learn about the new album, first musical influences, canals of Berlin, how often Hans has stepped in dog droppings and what he thinks about Punk and Bebop.  http://nuflicks.de/index.php/archiv/action/listSingle/cId/2/singleID/148/

“Standing in the punchline” - THE VIDEO

08.10.2007, 2 Comments

Hi friends,

holy jumped up ned, we got a new video!!!! A video about mexican wrestling!!!

You can watch it in our video section.

Julian Reich, our friend from berlin travelled to the US with holey socks, literally hundreds of dollars in his bag and no idea how the new Robocop Kraus Video should look like. The pressure was unhuman, but luckily he found the phone numbers of two famous “Luchadores” in the telephone book of Los Angeles. Julian contacted them and was overwhelmed by their hospitality and got finally introduced to their world of spectacular “high-flying-moves” . I hope you enjoy it.

Stay classy!

countdown to ecstasy

dear creatures of the world,

the time has come, the waiting is over, finally our new record will be released! on the 21st of september for all the germans and on 24st of september in the rest of europe.
so, don´t hesitate and visit your local dealer, empty your geldbeutel, take off your clothes, run to the forrests, hug a tree and dance to the mysterious sounds of “blunders and mistakes”.
as you may have heard, we made this recording a transcontinental experience. here are the facts: first we sailed to the harbours of hamburg where we recorded with producer tobias levin and engineer marc weis. then we took off to studio city in los angeles to meet adam lasus who mixed everything and made this recording a sonic experience.
kevin hooyman, famous artist from NY, painted the cover and greg calbi mastered the album also in NY.
so, if you’re quick you get the first edition of the cd which includes a dvd with bits and pieces we filmed during our travels all over the world. and for all the hifi lovers, there will be a vinyl version as well….
enjoy and tell us what you think….
love,
peace,
understanding

WELCOME TO OUR NEW WEBSITE…and the INTERWEB

27.08.2007, 3 Comments

Dear Friends,

we are very happy to present you our new website. Milan and Michael from Two Antennas literally spent hours to make it that beautiful and concise. Thank you!!!

And there is another new thing here and on our myspace. It’s so NEW that even we don´t know exactly what it is …but we´ll find out. It´s called INTERWEB and it is the greatest thing since sliced pumpernickel!!
It is something like a player with which you are able to listen to our songs, again and again, without rewinding the tape…. that wouldn´t be too exciting and new, BUT you can talk to little animals and there are photos and movie-clips (not yet!) in it. You can add it to your blog or homepage or myspace and then you are linked to us like an unborn baby to its mother and chat with all the other users…check it out! You can also win in the lottery, so you can forget your monetary worries.

Finally all shows of our TOUR in autumn are confirmed - it´s getting a little bit crazy (see in our Tourdates)… but we keep our promise to bring joy and happiness, light and sound to every little town we found on the map! We are very lucky to play almost every show with the amazing band “SO SO MODERN” from New Zealand.

tschüss!
