I am Robot and Proud is travelling to japan in a few weeks to play some music and most likely wander around lost and confused. this time he’ll be joined by the “robot band 2008”, which will include jeremy strachan (of feuermusik, canaille), and jim guthrie (of all-around dudeishness). confirmed dates are:
10/6 – Osaka @ Sunsui
10/7 – Nagoya @ Huck Finn
10/8 – Tokyo @ UNIT
these shows are with radicalface (morr music), and group_inou (from tokyo) – it’ll be a canadian/usa/japanese travelling electric music hangfest. let’s see which band shows up with the most gadgets. more japan dates later in the month (performing solo) – another update will follow!
