- A glam-rock punk band from Chicago, Absolutely Not is the brainchild of Donnie Moore and generates infectious one-two beat punk chords. It's an Iggy Pop meets Kevin Barnes approach to jagged garage-rock. Wicked fuzz with warped keyboard lines and a hint of Blue Meanies style yelping and mood, garners the enthusiasm that can be found in their garage-y indie songs that drive along on fuzzy guitars and at times even fuzzier vocals. Throw in some carnival like keyboards. The band's lo-fi scuzzy sounding indie rock was played at a small number of shows in Central Florida from late 2006 to early 2007 before relocating to Chicago. Before moving, they recorded two albums worth of material (Dancing on Elizabeth Taylor and Products of Robot Relationships) that is just out-of-this-world amazing, but you'd be hard pressed finding it anywhere! He told us he recorded it late at night by himself in his apartment in his underwear. The music is fast and fun, not making the mistake of being serious. They'll keep things razor sharp and unpredictable. Robot Hilarious is a musical project which encompasses rap, hip-hop, folk, rock, funk, blues, jazz and electronica to create something unique and new.Their exciting debut album, "Ghost Factory on Planet Island" blends genres and styles expertly as well as meshing traditional and well established instrumental motifs with modern and experimental electronic sounds. Vintage telecasters, B3s, Rhodes and jazz basses co-exist with drum machines, turntables, and synths to create an interesting cohesive sound without failing to reflect the curious experimental attitude of the musicians.Lyrically, the content flows through the abstract metaphors of a struggling and angry psyche to points of political and social dissent from the perspective of a disenfranchised patriot, a heartbroken lover, and a determined junkie. These themes are complimented by many moments of blunt language and direct intent, as well as eclectic and memorable stretches of the rules of phraseology, wording, and storytelling.
