This month BLOW UP has called in the secret weapon aiding in the destruction and resurrection of electro-pop fever . . .
IMA ROBOT
Imagine crossing Suede's Brett Anderson with Devo, a splash of Bowie and a dash of Johnny Rotten, and you may be close to comprehending these hyper proficient rebel music makers. Ima Robot takes a wiry, fiery fusion of electronics and guitar, chews it up and spits it back out in an irresistible mix of terribly fashionable musical dynomite.
These robotic rockstars have played everywhere from Italy to The Netherlands to Japan and headlined tours with hotshot acts you love such as Duran Duran, Hot Hot Heat, The White Stripes, The Ravonettes, and recent BLOW UP alums, Junior Senior. Their Thursday night DJ gig at Starshoes has LA's finest moving to the beat, and now they're crossing circuits in San Francisco for the very first time.
Also showcased amongst BLOW UP's array of delights to stimulate and satiate your electrosex desires. . .
