Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.

I'm holding true to my procrastinating ways lately, but mostly because of the cocktail of things to do outdoors in NYC during the summer. As you can tell, I've recently been attending A LOT of shows, because it's what this time of year is great for. I also recently had the pleasure of DJ'ing at Donny Miller's art show and book signing at the Etnies showroom in Soho, so I couldn't be more blessed with a social life right now. But I'll continue to try and keep you up to date with all the new stuff flying into my ears while I juggle what's happening around me. Please forgive the gaps.


With a heart of data and a fully charged battery, Wolfgang is a robot making music to deal with the emotional sensory overload of love and heartache. According to the "bio", and I quote... "he was developed in 1980 by greedy video game tycoon William Jennings Wellworth as an expensive prototype robot capable of human feeling." "Essentially force-fed huge libraries of The Human League, New Order and the like, it was hoped that Wolfgang would pay Wellworth back in kind in the form of huge record sales and royalties." Apparently it never happened back then, but he was recently found in a crumbling factory in Brooklyn and resuscitated by a loving new owner.

Of course I know it's not true, but the "Short Circuit" like story created to backup the cute and quirky synthpop sound is pretty nifty. I just hope they create a working robot to front the live shows, if they should ever do any.
