A Little Sincerity is a Dangerous Thing

Okay, we should chat. There are big things. And there are BIG things. Lousy Robot will be opening for the Lemonheads on Saturday, February 4, at Launchpad. They will be performing It’s a Shame About Ray in its entirety. That record was the Bible to me. We are all beside ourselves. We’ll see you there. Also, our listens and downloads have taken a huge leap. We wanted to take...

Scooters and Lousy Robot together at last.

The nice people over at Scooter Works decided they loved “Have You Ever Been Afraid of The Future?” so much that they used it in one of their promotional videos. Dont blame us if after watching it you have the urge to buy that scooter. http://youtu.be/f-imKaADAZI

Hello Mr. & Mrs. Ship and All the Americans at Sea

All three Lousy Robot records were created with the generous help of quite a lot of other amazing people. Some musicians, some not. Salim Nourallah’s Pleasantry Lane Studio in Dallas has been our second home for nearly a decade and Salim has inspired and created right along side Lousy Robot. He is as much a part of this band as any full-time member. Salim recently guest DJ’d...

Thanks again to all of you lovely people that made our CD Release Parties at Low Spirits and Corazon such a blast. Two amazing nights that none of us will ever remember. I recall that somebody once said that, despite our best efforts, we are not capable of great things. Only small things with great love. And that’s what Lousy Robot is out to do. And, God help us all, we’re taking it...

Plowing through the winter.

We have sent off 2 more songs for mixing since we last talked. Bringing our total to 9. But never fear, we are 80% done with another one. I really think this is a departure from our usual sound, but then you all will have to be the judge. I really hope to have this thing in the final process no later then March. But its hard to say right now. But rest assured we will keep you posted on the...
