YSLAR Updates: September 2011

We have reached the month of September, a traditionally slow month in You Sound Like A Robot history. Following a week at the craziest convention in the area Dragon*Con I have to come back and catch up on school work. On top of this I’m now working between two jobs, so free time is scarce. [...]

VIDEO: Jefferson Starship, “Light the Sky on Fire”

I don’t know a lot about my next Dragon*Con featured band, Jefferson Starship, other than they have been making music for a very long time. Jefferson Starship is actually a spin-off band of sorts of Jefferson Airplane which came about in the early 1970′s. I first heard of the newer Jefferson Starship variation in the [...]

VIDEO: Abney Park, “My Life”

Another band that I am excited to see at this year’s Dragon*Con are the steampunkers in Abney Park. They recently released this video for the song “My Life” from their latest album, Æther Shanties. You can watch it after the break. Be sure to stop by and meet the folks from Abney Park at the [...]

VIDEO: Bella Morte “Find Forever Gone” Live

Bella Morte will be attending Dragon*Con this year, and will be playing friday evening with The Last Dance. Official Site | Facebook Bella Morte [...]

VIDEO: The Last Dance, “Once Beautiful”

Honestly, I’m surprised I haven’t posted this music video on here already. The Last Dance will be attending Dragon*Con this year, their first since 2006. The Last Dance released their latest album Once Beautiful back in 2005. Two years later in 2007 they released a documentary DVD called Almost Beautiful, some of which I seem [...]

VIDEO: The Hellblinki Sextet, “Breaking Everything”

The Hellblinki Sextet is returning to Dragon*Con this year! Not all of the Dragon*Con schedule has been posted yet, however some of the bands seem to know the night that they are scheduled to play already. It looks like my weekend may kick off seeing Hellblinki on Thursday night at 11:30pm. The band hailing from [...]

YSLAR Updates: August ’11

Another month is down and we are at an exciting month for You Sound Like A Robot each year, August. This month usually implies lots of preparing for my yearly big expenditure: Dragon*Con! Dragon*Con weekend means a lot of great music, nice people, and excellent costumes (such as the steampunk X-Men above). While I usually [...]

MP3: Ego Likeness, The Sophie EP

Okay, so it isn’t really considered an official EP by any means. This is more a collection of four tracks released in conjunction with and because of Sophie, a cat that lives with Steven Archer and Donna Lynch of Ego Likeness. Sophie recently suffered sudden heart failure. Thanks to the quick reaction of Donna and [...]

VIDEO: The Extraordinary Contraptions, “I’m On A Blimp”

I happened upon this video while hanging out in the hotel room at this year’s Dragon*Con. The folks from Dragon*ConTV and The Extraordinary Contraptions got together to produce the clip. Oh, and Steampunk Boba Fett is there of course. The steampunked up video is filled with its fair share of google-goggles and flying airships. “I’m [...]

Another month has passed and September is finally upon us. You know what that means… Dragon*Con! I will be leaving tomorrow for the weekend long convention and I won’t be back until the middle of next week. I will try to put together a good review like I did last year upon my return. Throughout [...]
