1:07 Speaker 1: We've got we've got an extra mic set up because

1:10 Speaker 1: these guys are gonna play live for us in a

1:12 Speaker 1: few minutes and really looking forward to that because you

1:14 Speaker 1: know what I'm interested in is because listening to the

1:17 Speaker 1: tracks and I love these songs, but I'm very curious

1:20 Speaker 1: to hear how you sound with an acoustic guitar. After

1:23 Speaker 1: after hearing these studio tracks, you know.

1:24 Speaker 2: Yeah, we are too at it. And it was like, yeah,

1:27 Speaker 2: let's do this, and I was like for really everything.

1:31 Speaker 1: So this is this is an unusual uh scenario here

1:33 Speaker 1: with the first really Oh we love yes, yes, we

1:38 Speaker 1: do like that very much, very much.

1:40 Speaker 3: I have so few firsts left.

1:43 Speaker 1: Now, that's never true. There's always something good. And uh,

1:49 Speaker 1: where are you all from? I assume you're you're probably

1:51 Speaker 1: a little bit scattered, right, but you're based where where

1:53 Speaker 1: are you? Where do you say? You're based out of Sportsmouth? Sportsmouth? Yeah, great,

1:58 Speaker 1: great music scene there, Portsmith.

2:00 Speaker 3: I feel we're the best of it.

2:03 Speaker 1: I mean as far as as far as New Hampshire goes,

2:05 Speaker 1: I think I think Portsmouth is kind of in terms

2:07 Speaker 1: of the music, see the coolest, the hippest place in

2:09 Speaker 1: the state, really coolest, well in terms of music, Yeah,

2:14 Speaker 1: just just in like like Portsmouth. To me, I've always

2:16 Speaker 1: kind of thought of it as like Boston North you

2:19 Speaker 1: know what, I mean, it's like North. I don't know

2:22 Speaker 1: that Portsmouth would agree. That's that's you know. I certainly

2:26 Speaker 1: mean it as a compliment, I know.

2:28 Speaker 4: But their Way Through Ride did come by there and

2:34 Speaker 4: play who did the British shoegaze bend?

2:39 Speaker 2: Uh?

2:39 Speaker 3: Yeah?

2:40 Speaker 1: Well there you go. Yeah, they didn't come to Manchester,

2:42 Speaker 1: did they?

2:43 Speaker 8: No?

2:43 Speaker 3: They did not.

2:46 Speaker 1: Well let's let's I'm gonna let you all pick what

2:49 Speaker 1: should we play for a studio track, and then we'll

2:52 Speaker 1: you send me I love these songs, and then we'll

2:55 Speaker 1: actually maybe can I pick? Can I be Selfish? And

2:57 Speaker 1: can we play Lonely Nights?

2:58 Speaker 9: Yeah?

2:58 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, because that's my favor I usually let the

3:00 Speaker 1: guests pick, but that's my personal favorite. I love this

3:03 Speaker 1: song so much. It as catchy as hell?

3:05 Speaker 3: Wasn't that what we were going to play on the

3:08 Speaker 3: and the acoustic?

3:10 Speaker 10: Yeah that's okay, that's a bit.

3:18 Speaker 8: Maybe.

3:19 Speaker 1: Well I don't know, all right, Well we can we

3:21 Speaker 1: can play something else?

3:22 Speaker 6: So confusing?

3:26 Speaker 1: We could?

3:26 Speaker 2: We could?

3:27 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true, we could. We could play the Ouiji

3:29 Speaker 1: board song. What's the full title of that?

3:32 Speaker 3: Since you broke my wija board?

3:35 Speaker 1: I have a question too. Before we play this now,

3:37 Speaker 1: I've always heard of pronounced, but you pronounce it more

3:41 Speaker 1: like it's actually spelled.

3:42 Speaker 3: Yes, that's because I actually speak German.

3:44 Speaker 1: Probably Oh, no, kidding, Okay, so that is so so

3:48 Speaker 1: the way you're saying it is the correct pronunciation osia.

3:51 Speaker 3: Yeah.

3:52 Speaker 1: I always wondered because growing up, so my mother had one,

3:55 Speaker 1: and we in the summer when I would would spend

3:57 Speaker 1: the summers with her because she lives in another part

3:59 Speaker 1: of the country, and she would she would pull out

4:02 Speaker 1: the wigi board or oija. I don't know if I

4:03 Speaker 1: can get used to say, well, I can't pronounce it

4:05 Speaker 1: exactly the way you say it anyway, because I can't

4:07 Speaker 1: do the accent. But much to the consternation of my father,

4:11 Speaker 1: who found out many years later that that we were

4:13 Speaker 1: doing that, my great devout Catholic father did not approve.

4:17 Speaker 1: But but then so that was what I thought about

4:21 Speaker 1: the first time I saw that song title, and then

4:22 Speaker 1: I played it and I was like, oh, she pronounces

4:24 Speaker 1: it differently, but the way she pronounces it is it

4:26 Speaker 1: looks like the way it's actually spelled. Because I always wondered,

4:29 Speaker 1: are we saying it wrong.

4:30 Speaker 3: Because well, it's just yes in French and yes in German.

4:33 Speaker 3: We oh yeah, no kidding, yes, so I re knew that.

4:37 Speaker 4: Yeah, actually, if you were pronouncing it then it would

4:41 Speaker 4: be we yah. But that's that's not for an english

4:44 Speaker 4: person to get involved with.

4:46 Speaker 3: So just stop at wija wow.

4:49 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, let's give this a spin and then

4:52 Speaker 1: we're going to come back and talk a little bit.

4:54 Speaker 1: And here it is, and the band is replaced by robots.

5:05 Speaker 8: They told me nice, they gave me advice. They do

5:13 Speaker 8: so must someone nice never lead the.

5:18 Speaker 11: Side set wija b w I can't talk to these numb.

5:49 Speaker 1: She see a route uigian.

5:51 Speaker 10: Bog and I can't talk to look us No.

5:55 Speaker 6: Un, says you.

7:11 Speaker 7: S smass, the game advice, the evening guest so.

7:39 Speaker 8: Summers. So that's now.

7:45 Speaker 1: So that heart at the end is such a cool touch.

8:44 Speaker 1: Not not what you were doing, gree Casian, but the.

8:48 Speaker 2: That little pre Adams Adams insane piano.

8:53 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that that's that's really cool. I like the

8:55 Speaker 1: way it because it's kind of it's kind of a surprise.

8:58 Speaker 1: You don't expect to hear that at the end. But

8:59 Speaker 1: if it's a perfectly. The band, of course, is replaced

9:02 Speaker 1: by robots. We are here with us live in studio,

9:04 Speaker 1: and the song Heather, how do you pronounce it correctly? Again?

9:08 Speaker 3: Weija oija since you broke my wija board.

9:12 Speaker 1: Since you broke my wija board. All right, So do

9:14 Speaker 1: you want to tell that you were telling it off?

9:16 Speaker 1: Are you want to tell?

9:17 Speaker 12: Yeah?

9:17 Speaker 4: Well, we were in the middle of a rehearsal, and

9:20 Speaker 4: then I went into the little terror room on the

9:23 Speaker 4: side where we used to where we record, and I've

9:26 Speaker 4: got all my little relics and oddities laying around there,

9:29 Speaker 4: and I noticed that Gucasian had taken my antique oija board, yeah, and.

9:35 Speaker 3: Stuffed it into a bag and he broke it.

9:40 Speaker 4: And I was so upset, and I went back into

9:42 Speaker 4: the room, and you know, we're all just kind of

9:45 Speaker 4: jamming and and they're like lyrics Morgan. So then I

9:50 Speaker 4: just started singing, since you broke my oija board, I

9:54 Speaker 4: can't talk to the ghost no more. And we just

9:57 Speaker 4: kept going. We just wrote the whole thing right there.

10:00 Speaker 4: That's cool, channeling my marital rage.

10:03 Speaker 1: Yeah. Sure, are you sure it was him? You sure

10:05 Speaker 1: it wasn't It was It wasn't The robots.

10:09 Speaker 6: It's not really broke.

10:10 Speaker 3: It's broken.

10:11 Speaker 2: It was it's like a little like a little ding

10:15 Speaker 2: in the side of it.

10:16 Speaker 1: Well that's what I was wondering.

10:17 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was perfect before I met you. It was

10:21 Speaker 4: perfect since nineteen nineteen.

10:23 Speaker 1: Oh wow, it really is. Oh wow?

10:26 Speaker 13: Yeah?

10:26 Speaker 1: And then so what it's good? So it's just got

10:28 Speaker 1: a ding in it or a crack or.

10:29 Speaker 2: What broken is a little overly dramatic?

10:32 Speaker 1: Okay, okay?

14:43 Speaker 3: it later.

14:45 Speaker 1: Oh my well, no, no, no worries. So now how

14:52 Speaker 1: do you Everyone always say it's this question, but how

14:54 Speaker 1: do you describe your music to people who haven't heard it?

14:56 Speaker 1: Because there's obviously a tremendous mix of influences and you

14:59 Speaker 1: have you know, you've all played in other bands and

15:01 Speaker 1: have different backgrounds and earliest I assume so. And by

15:04 Speaker 1: the way, Heather, are you you're also an oil painter? Correct?

15:06 Speaker 3: Yes, I am trained, Yeah, trained trained.

15:10 Speaker 1: Jenny's an artist and I am not trained.

15:13 Speaker 8: I am.

15:15 Speaker 1: But so curious. So how do you describe your or

15:18 Speaker 1: do you even try? Or do you just play it

15:19 Speaker 1: and say?

15:20 Speaker 4: When I spam, when I send out males about our

15:25 Speaker 4: about our upcoming shows, I always say the world's most

15:28 Speaker 4: prominent rock band, if you're interested in in that. But

15:32 Speaker 4: usually I say, you can tell what we love. You

15:34 Speaker 4: can tell that we love nineties alternative. You can tell

15:39 Speaker 4: we like the Pixies, the Cure and and Girl Group.

15:43 Speaker 4: I gotta ask punk rock.

15:44 Speaker 1: Are you influenced by Blondie?

15:46 Speaker 15: Oh?

15:46 Speaker 3: Absolutely, because I'm like I thought, I'm like.

15:49 Speaker 10: She's gotta be I was a Blondie fanily Oh yeah,

15:51 Speaker 10: And I can hear with you like.

15:53 Speaker 3: That is so called first concert I ever went to?

15:55 Speaker 8: Was really?

15:56 Speaker 4: Was it Meadow Lens brendan Burn Arena? It was ever

16:00 Speaker 4: Under an opening for Blondie. Yeah, of course, yeah, I

16:06 Speaker 4: was like nine, Yes, of course?

16:10 Speaker 1: So did we ever? Yeah? So I mean, what do

16:14 Speaker 1: you so? What do you call it?

16:15 Speaker 2: Like?

16:15 Speaker 1: Do you try to put a label on what you do.

16:17 Speaker 4: Or well that's usually what we hear in our reviews

16:21 Speaker 4: is kind of genre busting. But you can tell what

16:24 Speaker 4: we like, you know, if you if you like the

16:27 Speaker 4: uh you know Bauhaus, You're like, oh, you know, I

16:30 Speaker 4: hear a little of that. I mean, Adam over here

16:32 Speaker 4: is an encyclopedia of underground music, so he can just

16:36 Speaker 4: pop in.

16:39 Speaker 3: Whatever influences we're thinking about that day.

16:42 Speaker 6: Nice, nice kind of pop goth. Yeah, dance dance pop.

16:46 Speaker 1: God dance pop goth. I like that. Yeah.

16:48 Speaker 2: And one of the things that when we came up

16:51 Speaker 2: with the name Replaced by Robots, what we kind of

16:53 Speaker 2: loved about it was like it didn't hidge and hold

16:58 Speaker 2: us into anything because it and like we'll write songs

17:02 Speaker 2: and then we're like, this is not like what we do,

17:06 Speaker 2: but it fits in. Like everything fits in with that name, you.

17:09 Speaker 1: Know what I mean?

17:14 Speaker 3: I love it A good pigeonhole.

17:16 Speaker 1: Well, where so where does the name come from? Replaced

17:19 Speaker 1: by Robots?

17:20 Speaker 4: I mean, I Uh, we were tossing around ideas and uh,

17:24 Speaker 4: I just came up with that out of the kind

17:26 Speaker 4: of out of the blue. But uh, it had something

17:29 Speaker 4: to do with a kind of disappointment in the algorithm

17:33 Speaker 4: driven of todayis of music and uh, you know, and

17:39 Speaker 4: also people's livelihoods and just everything. Yeah, and uh and

17:44 Speaker 4: to me that was I mean, it could be a

17:46 Speaker 4: way of saying that we're robots, or it could be

17:49 Speaker 4: a way of saying we are obsolete bohemians, and you know,

17:53 Speaker 4: maybe a little of both. Sure, we play with we

17:55 Speaker 4: play with all of those ideas, and once we uh

17:59 Speaker 4: picked up on that concept, it became so much fun

18:02 Speaker 4: to play with with our videos, with our writing, and

18:06 Speaker 4: so yeah, yeah, right guys, Yeah, absolutely, And and.

18:11 Speaker 1: What about the themes, like lyrical themes in your songs?

18:14 Speaker 1: I mean, is there anything specific that you're trying to

18:16 Speaker 1: convey or are you trying to I saw, you know,

18:19 Speaker 1: the word when I was reading about the band, the

18:21 Speaker 1: word futuristic came up quite a bit. But I don't

18:24 Speaker 1: know if I mean a song like Lonely Nights that's

18:27 Speaker 1: not that's not anything futuristic. That's just something relatable. Maybe

18:30 Speaker 1: that's why I like that song so much. Aside from that,

18:32 Speaker 1: it's very catchy. It's something everyone can relate to, right.

18:35 Speaker 3: But well, yeah, Heartbreak and the Apocalypse go.

18:41 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I feel like at a core always like

18:45 Speaker 2: very emotional, you know, like like I love soul music,

18:51 Speaker 2: but I don't like listening to it. But I like

18:52 Speaker 2: the concept.

18:53 Speaker 1: Oh okay, very interesting, very interesting, what's your what's your

18:59 Speaker 1: live show? Alike? Because because what you do lends itself

19:03 Speaker 1: to I assume the robot is big.

19:07 Speaker 2: He's like, we put him out front and he just

19:10 Speaker 2: kind of dances, yeah, and then people kind of want

19:13 Speaker 2: to come dance with him.

19:14 Speaker 1: Oh that's cool.

19:15 Speaker 2: Yeah, but we just have fun.

19:17 Speaker 3: Man, we're very high energy.

19:19 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's spectral and uh and and uh and luminous, mesmerizing.

19:27 Speaker 4: We've been told little things mesmerizing and uh and I

19:31 Speaker 4: mean we're we're a tough actor. Follow Literally, bands who

19:34 Speaker 4: have to go on after us are like, oh, man,

19:37 Speaker 4: like what what am I going to do? Those guys

19:39 Speaker 4: that they're weird and they're also like so driving that

19:43 Speaker 4: it may take a couple of songs for for a

19:45 Speaker 4: person to reclaim the space.

19:47 Speaker 1: Sure, and that's cool. Ooh yeah, that's that's very cool. Yeah.

19:53 Speaker 2: Both Adam and I come from really intense like uh,

19:57 Speaker 2: like punk rock band.

19:59 Speaker 1: Yeah. So you were in the Elevator Drop, okay, because

20:03 Speaker 1: I remember that band?

20:04 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and oh go ahead, yeah, and Adam was

20:08 Speaker 2: in a funeral party, which was and we knew each

20:10 Speaker 2: other in Boston. Oh no, kidding can make the whole

20:13 Speaker 2: thing makes no sense. We shared a rehearsal space and

20:16 Speaker 2: he reminded me, I I have like the worst memory.

20:20 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I was like, oh my god.

20:21 Speaker 2: So we were like, like we shared a rehearsal space

20:24 Speaker 2: together in Boston. Then he was like, my neighbor up here.

20:27 Speaker 1: Oh wow, so this is there is an element of

20:30 Speaker 1: fate to this, right. We were destined. We had a

20:32 Speaker 1: band together.

20:33 Speaker 4: We all came together at a we we hosted the

20:37 Speaker 4: Chameleons in their kind of acoustic form a Chameleons Box,

20:41 Speaker 4: play a show at our house and uh, and we

20:44 Speaker 4: invited Adam to the party. He's a huge band, and

20:47 Speaker 4: it was it was a great night. It was a

20:50 Speaker 4: it was a great show. And then we ended up

20:52 Speaker 4: deciding to play together at that show.

20:54 Speaker 1: Okay, okay. And then how long after you decided to

20:57 Speaker 1: play together, how long did it take to get the project?

21:00 Speaker 1: And not too long?

21:01 Speaker 3: No, like a month?

21:02 Speaker 1: Really that's quick, Yeah, that's quick. But that's when you

21:05 Speaker 1: know you've got something right. I always say this when

21:07 Speaker 1: you when you have something that you know, gels quickly,

21:10 Speaker 1: you know, and it's not a lot of effort, you know,

21:12 Speaker 1: to try to put something together. It just kind of happens,

21:14 Speaker 1: and you know, you've really got something totally.

21:16 Speaker 6: I think it's forty three days, three days.

21:19 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, unlike Loukas and Adam has a very good

21:23 Speaker 4: memory apparently.

21:25 Speaker 1: Yeah.

21:26 Speaker 3: And it's like a soup. Everything is all mixed together.

21:30 Speaker 4: He just dips the ladle in and spills it out

21:33 Speaker 4: and yeah, all years intermingled, all the fact.

21:36 Speaker 6: How this is the spoon on the bowl.

24:50 Speaker 1: What are you gonna say, Jenny? Oh, I'm sorry.

24:53 Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna say anything.

24:54 Speaker 1: Oh okay.

24:54 Speaker 10: I thought about it for a moment and then went down.

24:56 Speaker 1: Oh okay. It was like it was a fleeting thing.

24:58 Speaker 1: I understood, understood, okay, I was going to That sounds

25:02 Speaker 1: nice when you say things.

25:03 Speaker 2: Well, were you going to say, I'm not telling you?

25:05 Speaker 1: Okay?

25:07 Speaker 2: Fine, nobody say it to you.

25:11 Speaker 3: You promised you would behaved surprises that he.

25:15 Speaker 6: Doesn't talk about.

25:16 Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, you're shortening. Yes, oh you may growl now.

25:25 Speaker 1: But you will see. So tell us about the the

25:32 Speaker 1: ep uh the experiment? Where did where did you record this?

25:36 Speaker 1: And how did you record it? And it sounds great?

25:38 Speaker 1: We recorded it at our house, okay.

25:42 Speaker 2: But then like, uh, it was really good. So like

25:46 Speaker 2: we had certain songs where we we brought that song

25:51 Speaker 2: that you just played to uh Hagar that Uh he

25:56 Speaker 2: was in Elevator Drops. He's in Devo now really he's right,

26:00 Speaker 2: he's a producer. His brother's nuts he Uh he does

26:04 Speaker 2: like all the Miley Cyrus records and Josh's is his brother.

26:09 Speaker 2: And we were, you know, Elevator ups forever and so

26:12 Speaker 2: we mixed that there, and then we mixed Lonely Nights

26:19 Speaker 2: with Colderry, who's amazing. He does not all the Pixies

26:24 Speaker 2: records and the Go Gos and yeah, and there. It's

26:28 Speaker 2: funny because there was one part originally in that song

26:31 Speaker 2: which there was a little snippet of a Go Go song,

26:35 Speaker 2: didn't we didn't know what it was. Adam was playing

26:37 Speaker 2: it and we knew or he probably knew, and he

26:39 Speaker 2: pulled it out and and I found out later that

26:42 Speaker 2: he also uh produced.

26:47 Speaker 17: Oh wow, So he wanted to bury it was my

26:50 Speaker 17: intentional nod to the Go Gos, and he kind of

26:53 Speaker 17: wanted to bury in the mix as to avoid any litigation.

26:56 Speaker 4: Oh really, Actually I think it was more like, hey,

26:59 Speaker 4: he didn't want to whole focus off our amazing tune.

27:02 Speaker 3: And suddenly being like, oh, I want to listen to

27:05 Speaker 3: the Go.

27:05 Speaker 6: Gos right right, the Go Go effect.

27:08 Speaker 2: Yeah, because I for for a lot of years I

27:13 Speaker 2: would always pull in quotes from other songs and it

27:18 Speaker 2: was really enlightening. I was, you know, like you learned

27:21 Speaker 2: from a producer. And I really like that that input

27:25 Speaker 2: because like it makes you strive to stay original, which

27:30 Speaker 2: is hard in this day and age with all the

27:32 Speaker 2: influences of other music around you. So it's awesome. It's like,

27:38 Speaker 2: especially with what we do, we definitely have a lot

27:40 Speaker 2: of influences, but we do we work hard to make

27:43 Speaker 2: it still be you know.

27:46 Speaker 1: Right right, Yeah, yeah, that can be a challenge, of course. Yeah,

27:49 Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely. And you've got a lot of shows coming

27:53 Speaker 1: up too. You're talking about that off here, right, You

27:54 Speaker 1: got some uh.

27:55 Speaker 4: Yeah, we're playing September eighteenth at the stone Church excellent,

28:01 Speaker 4: and we're playing in October on the tenth at the

28:03 Speaker 4: Appohadian in Portland.

28:05 Speaker 1: Yeah.

28:05 Speaker 2: And the the one that's coming up in stone Church,

28:09 Speaker 2: we've got like the Glimmer Stars. It's their first date

28:12 Speaker 2: of their tour. They're from l A Hollywood area and

28:17 Speaker 2: they're coming out here and that's the first date, and

28:19 Speaker 2: so we're kind of psyched and we're playing with us

28:22 Speaker 2: versus the Man Polana versus the Man.

28:24 Speaker 1: Okay, and the.

28:28 Speaker 2: The Cretans who are like they have there's some like

28:30 Speaker 2: they're like a punk rock they're they're friends with the

28:33 Speaker 2: queers and all that that that whole old Boston Hampshire,

28:40 Speaker 2: Boston scene.

28:41 Speaker 3: So it's it's gonna be David Paint like.

28:46 Speaker 12: This.

28:47 Speaker 3: This is a new rasp that we don't usually.

28:50 Speaker 1: Have, well, but it is. It is nine am on

28:54 Speaker 1: on a Saturday morning. It's something to get you going

28:56 Speaker 1: in the morning. That's right. There you go, there you go.

28:59 Speaker 3: I just this guy up at a truck stops, not the.

29:03 Speaker 6: Actual Dave, the real Dave actually coming by.

29:06 Speaker 10: Yeah, boy, Pat sorry, I can help it. You got

29:18 Speaker 10: to blame retro, right, right?

29:20 Speaker 1: So are there are there plans to record new more

29:24 Speaker 1: music sooner? This hasn't been out for very long actually, right,

29:26 Speaker 1: so you're probably still.

29:28 Speaker 6: Yeah, we'll got some new stuff in the works.

29:30 Speaker 2: We're super excited that we have a couple of tracks

29:33 Speaker 2: already done and we might we're trying to figure out

29:36 Speaker 2: what this day and age is so like bonkers. We

29:39 Speaker 2: might just release like a single, because putting out a

29:43 Speaker 2: record is so weird it doesn't even make sense. No

29:46 Speaker 2: one wants records. They want like they want song and

29:50 Speaker 2: they want another one. So we might just put them

29:53 Speaker 2: out and then them into a bin and put the

29:58 Speaker 2: bin out side and package it and make a record.

30:03 Speaker 6: Yeah, dump it out all over the street. Yeah, I

30:06 Speaker 6: get at kids.

30:09 Speaker 1: Well, that is though, I mean, that's how a lot

30:11 Speaker 1: of I mean, there's so many different ways you can

30:13 Speaker 1: release music now, right, But but that but that approach

30:15 Speaker 1: of kind of the inverse of what it used to be, right,

30:18 Speaker 1: because it used to be you know, you have an

30:19 Speaker 1: album and then you have a bunch of singles from

30:20 Speaker 1: the album. And now a lot of artists who they

30:22 Speaker 1: put out a series of singles and eventually coal less

30:24 Speaker 1: into an album.

30:25 Speaker 17: And yeah, it's really retro too, because that's really you know,

30:27 Speaker 17: the old fifties rock and roll, it was all about singles.

30:30 Speaker 6: That's true.

30:30 Speaker 1: You know, I hadn't even thought.

30:31 Speaker 6: About a full circle back to the beginning.

30:33 Speaker 1: Yeah that's a good point. Yeah, that's true.

30:35 Speaker 3: Grab our dollar and go into the studio box music,

30:39 Speaker 3: walk out in our little forty five.

30:40 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, that makes sense. And then do you

30:44 Speaker 1: have any have you done any videos yet for any

30:46 Speaker 1: of these songs? Oh, they all have videos. I'm gonna

30:49 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go check those out. Yeah yeah,

30:51 Speaker 1: because I'm really curious about that.

30:53 Speaker 2: You can see all of them that replaced by robots

30:57 Speaker 2: do space. We couldn't afford dot com.

31:01 Speaker 6: Oh, I had my son's dress up as ghosts for

31:03 Speaker 6: the Ouiji board video.

31:05 Speaker 1: Oh really, yeah, Oh, I got to check that out.

31:07 Speaker 1: I gotta check that out. Let's play another one. I

31:09 Speaker 1: want to get these all in before we run out

31:11 Speaker 1: of time, because, like I said, I love your sound.

31:13 Speaker 1: The title track, Oh no, it's not the title track.

31:16 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but laboratory. I don't know why. No, the

31:19 Speaker 1: the EV has called the experiment. I don't know why

31:20 Speaker 1: I was thinking this was the title track. See I

31:22 Speaker 1: also at you know, nine am on a Saturday. I

31:24 Speaker 1: have issues on my own, but but plus I only

31:30 Speaker 1: had like two SIPs of my Monster Energy drink so far.

31:32 Speaker 1: That's that's my issue. But let's give this a listen.

31:34 Speaker 1: This is a short song, this is under two minutes,

31:37 Speaker 1: but but it's it's good stuff. And then we'll come

31:39 Speaker 1: back and talk a little more. If you are just

31:41 Speaker 1: joining us. We have replaced by Robots here with us

31:43 Speaker 1: a live in studio on this Saturday morning on Matt

31:46 Speaker 1: Connorton Unleashed Here it is laboratory by Replaced by Robots.

32:05 Speaker 5: Stops stop.

33:43 Speaker 1: That is a short song. The Indians knock up on

33:45 Speaker 1: me there, but I like it laboratory And so what

33:49 Speaker 1: what are you saying?

33:50 Speaker 2: In those?

33:50 Speaker 1: Because we were talking off there about this, This is

33:52 Speaker 1: a common question. What are you What are you saying there?

33:54 Speaker 4: Either in those I'm saying ha ha ha okay, because

34:01 Speaker 4: it is funny, yes to say ha ha ha.

34:06 Speaker 1: We were talking about yeah, how people people always wonder

34:10 Speaker 1: what it is that you're saying. I wondered it too

34:12 Speaker 1: when I was listening to it. I thought, when I

34:13 Speaker 1: listened to it the first time, I thought, it sounds

34:15 Speaker 1: like she's just saying ha ha ha. But I'm not

34:16 Speaker 1: sure you know that thing, and my ears don't always

34:19 Speaker 1: hear everything correctly.

34:20 Speaker 3: Either, experience mirth with me, see as you are doing. Yes,

34:28 Speaker 3: we are all very happy.

34:29 Speaker 1: Yeah, Replaced by Robots is here with us, live in

34:36 Speaker 1: studio and where should people go online? We want to

34:40 Speaker 1: make sure everybody knows where's the best place to find

34:42 Speaker 1: you online for to keep up with everything that you're doing.

34:45 Speaker 2: Replaced by robots, that's space space. I actually we did

34:52 Speaker 2: try to buy dot com, but he wasn't at it

34:55 Speaker 2: was like six seven dollars more, but that ends up

34:57 Speaker 2: every month, well.

34:58 Speaker 1: Not only that year, not only that. But I think

35:01 Speaker 1: because you've got kind of a futuristic vibe, right, I

35:03 Speaker 1: think space is better anyway? Right, I agree, Yeah, yeah,

35:07 Speaker 1: you know, why not?

35:09 Speaker 5: I like that?

35:09 Speaker 1: And I yeah, I like that song a lot too.

35:11 Speaker 1: I was saying, it's got got a little bit of

35:13 Speaker 1: a surf punk vibe there with the guitar and everything

35:15 Speaker 1: in the whole vibe of it. I really like that

35:16 Speaker 1: a lot. That must go over well live. Do you

35:18 Speaker 1: play that one live?

35:19 Speaker 2: Oh?

35:19 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's an opener often.

35:22 Speaker 1: Oh no, no kidding, okay, yeah, that's like three or

35:24 Speaker 1: four times. And I said, yeah, oh my, do you

35:27 Speaker 1: well it is? It is a short song. One more time.

35:33 Speaker 1: I reminds me of a do you remember This is

35:37 Speaker 1: totally off subject, but do you remember lou Bega Mamo

35:39 Speaker 1: number five?

35:40 Speaker 5: Yeah?

35:41 Speaker 2: I love that.

35:42 Speaker 1: I saw lou Bega one time at at the time,

35:45 Speaker 1: I was working at a record store and I got

35:48 Speaker 1: invited to go to one of those all day radio

35:50 Speaker 1: station shows one of the Boston stations was doing. This

35:52 Speaker 1: was a long time ago. This was this was when

35:54 Speaker 1: Mamo number five was on the radio. And uh so

35:57 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, like fifteen different artists throughout the day,

36:00 Speaker 1: and they've all got really short, like twenty minute sets

36:02 Speaker 1: because of so many of them. And lou Bega was

36:05 Speaker 1: one of the one of the performers, and he actually

36:08 Speaker 1: played Mamo number five twice. He opened with it, and

36:13 Speaker 1: I thought, well, he's opening with his big hit. This

36:15 Speaker 1: is a bold move. And then I thought, oh, maybe

36:19 Speaker 1: he's closing with a cover. That's the one time. That's

36:21 Speaker 1: the only way that makes sense. He must be closing

36:23 Speaker 1: with a cover that goes over really well. So he's

36:25 Speaker 1: going to open with his big hit. He didn't he

36:28 Speaker 1: So he opens with Mamo number five, then he plays

36:30 Speaker 1: like one other song from his album, and then he

36:33 Speaker 1: closes with Mamo number five. He actually played it twice

36:36 Speaker 1: and I and it was like, it was kind of weird,

36:38 Speaker 1: but but I also remember thinking, I respect it in

36:41 Speaker 1: a way that he understands, he knows he's a one

36:44 Speaker 1: hit wonder. He understands he's on the you know, thirteenth

36:47 Speaker 1: or fourteenth of his fifteen minutes.

36:49 Speaker 14: You know what I mean.

36:50 Speaker 17: I saw Men Without Hats a couple of years ago,

36:52 Speaker 17: and they opened with safety Dance.

36:53 Speaker 1: Yeah, they ended with no kidding? Yeah, all right, you

36:57 Speaker 1: don't have.

36:58 Speaker 5: To do that, guys.

36:59 Speaker 3: They have a lot of good songs, come on, I but.

37:03 Speaker 1: That's their only hit, right yeah? Yeah?

37:06 Speaker 3: Oh no, Actually, what was that one? The apocalypse one.

37:13 Speaker 1: From Men Without Yeah, I don't even remember that.

37:16 Speaker 8: The world.

37:18 Speaker 1: Oh that's kind of familiar.

37:19 Speaker 3: It's a tear jerker.

37:21 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, all right, yeah.

37:23 Speaker 6: I think they did that twice too, because they got to.

37:26 Speaker 1: Fill that time. Get that get that check. Yeah. Oh

37:29 Speaker 1: that's funny. So when's just remind people too. I know

37:33 Speaker 1: we just talked about it, but for people just joining us,

37:34 Speaker 1: when is your next show? When is the next opportunity?

37:36 Speaker 4: Stember eighteenth September eighteen, Slimmer.

37:40 Speaker 6: Stars Plana Versus the Man, the Cretans.

37:43 Speaker 1: And us and you and very good, very good, by

37:47 Speaker 1: the way, So and then all the how do you

37:50 Speaker 1: how do you handle the percussion and everything in the

37:53 Speaker 1: when you're on stage? Is that is that programmed or

37:55 Speaker 1: how do you approach that?

37:56 Speaker 2: Michael Mike Walsh who is uh as virtual.

38:01 Speaker 1: So yeah, he plays excellent, excellent and.

38:07 Speaker 2: Uh and Adam. What the funniest part of all this

38:10 Speaker 2: is Adam you know, he's been playing the guitar is

38:12 Speaker 2: you know, fantastic And then one day we're at practice

38:16 Speaker 2: and we had a drummer time and he's like, hey,

38:18 Speaker 2: let me, let me just show you this part and

38:20 Speaker 2: Adam sat behind the drums. Yeah, like, Adam, it might

38:24 Speaker 2: be the best, one of the best drummers that I've seen.

38:28 Speaker 2: And it's like a secret, secret idea. So Adam played

38:34 Speaker 2: the recording.

38:36 Speaker 4: Never heard him drummer his fingers on the table before.

38:40 Speaker 4: Then he just yeah, busted out.

38:41 Speaker 1: Oh that's cool.

38:42 Speaker 6: Yeah.

38:42 Speaker 17: It's been easy too, because like we can just late,

38:45 Speaker 17: we don't have to. The three of us can just

38:48 Speaker 17: write and record and play everything. And you know, Michael

38:52 Speaker 17: Mike will probably start great now.

38:54 Speaker 3: Yeah, he can do he can do anything that you

38:57 Speaker 3: point him at.

38:58 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, excellent, excellent, very good, very good. Well listen,

39:02 Speaker 1: I want to thank you, thank the three of you

39:04 Speaker 1: for joining us here today, all the four of you,

39:06 Speaker 1: because the robots here as well. Yeah, I forget. I

39:09 Speaker 1: asked you if the robot had a name. I can't

39:10 Speaker 1: remember what you said. Does the robot have a name?

39:12 Speaker 2: Boris Boris Excel two four.

39:15 Speaker 1: XL two four? Yes, I had a Do you remember

39:17 Speaker 1: to excel? I had a two XL when I was

39:20 Speaker 1: like kid played the A track you put the A

39:22 Speaker 1: tractapes in? Was I am to excel?

39:24 Speaker 2: One thing I'll put out there that our sort of

39:27 Speaker 2: secret hope that we have is eventually people will come

39:31 Speaker 2: to our shows and bring their robots so that they

39:34 Speaker 2: can all dance in the front together.

39:36 Speaker 1: That's that's such a cool idea, the robots together.

39:39 Speaker 2: If you come to the Stone Church, bring a robot

39:43 Speaker 2: and we'll give you free.

39:46 Speaker 1: That's a very cool idea, world of robots. Does it

39:49 Speaker 1: have to be a robot?

39:49 Speaker 2: What if it's like like, like what can what a

39:52 Speaker 2: robotic like like a roomba?

39:54 Speaker 1: Is that that would be that works?

39:57 Speaker 2: That would be pretty hilarious because I think, actually it's

39:59 Speaker 2: my you say that because I want to think.

40:04 Speaker 4: It was like, it'll be a motor It'll be like

40:07 Speaker 4: survival research laboratories, only without the fighting.

40:11 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny you say that because one of the

40:13 Speaker 2: new videos that we're working on. Like, I'm always like

40:17 Speaker 2: trying to find something it's a little different, and I

40:19 Speaker 2: was looking at roomba uh footage and it's it's gonna

40:23 Speaker 2: make it in there and it has nothing to do

40:26 Speaker 2: with this song. The next song that we're releasing is

40:29 Speaker 2: really organic and beautiful.

40:32 Speaker 1: But it is yeah.

40:33 Speaker 2: Oh oh, it's not on the it's not no, We're done.

40:39 Speaker 2: It's recorded. It's a masterpiece, Adam. The guitar is I
