It's windy, hot and hellish in here (and I'm not even talking about the crazy weather outside). All this inspires, aside from the occasional bad hair day, a need for something calm with an Americana flavor, to fit the rolling hay bails (and people), drifting in the storm. The work of R. Mansfeld & Joseph James, as singer-songwriters in the Californian band Deathbot, certainly hits the spot. Check out Deathbot on the official site , MySpace and last.fm for a lot more tracks and updates. Their debut LP, Cold Wind [...]
NEW, RECOMMENDED + ABSOLUTELY FREE! COAST TO COAST INDIE ARTISTRY: Deathbot is probably the last name you might expect to hear attached to an experimental acoustic guitar and piano project from Southern California... But hold up, the strange name begins to make strange sense when you consider this band's unique roots. Deathbot is the indie-americana product of singer songwriters R. [...]
You Should Know So I get a lot of emails from bands, and for the most part I delete them because either (a) I'm not into it, or (b) they only send me a few tracks and I'm not comfortable spouting off opinions based on a song or two. Recently I got a message from a San Francisco band named Deathbot (their name reminds me of when I used to listen to stuff like Sepultura and Corosion Of Conformity in middle school). Not only are they offering their [...]
deathbot , the nom de stage of singing songwriters r. mansfeld and joseph james & their revolving cast of friends (most from either san francisco or l.a.), have made available for free download their first lp, cold wind revival . it's a sort of americana for the electronic age, built on an acoustic guitar and piano, described on the band's website as "songs in the mix and vein of the indie, americana, and alt-country bands we grew up listening to," and, as might be expected, you can pretty much color us impressed. especially with the stellar "walk [...]
Deathbot is, in their own words, the "product of two kids (Justin and Rob) from San Francisco that are armed with too much time, a roomful of instruments, and some recording gear, trying to knock out some songs in the vein of the indie and alt-country bands that they love listening to." That's a good motto to have. Although their name suggests they should be a screaming heavy rock band, Deathbot is in fact quite mellow and relaxed. This is the kind of music you can spend a lazy Saturday listening to. [...]
It's time to share some of the excellent new music we've discovered through myspace. Sometimes it takes us awhile to post music we've heard on myspace, because we actually take the time to listen to it thoroughly and to investigate the band behind the music. Enjoy these jewels from the goldmine of myspace! Deathbot Deathbot is a collaboration of two young men who are influenced by alt-country. These songs don't sound like they came from two guys out of San [...]
Jesusmarymotherofgod I am in nasty, nasty shape this morning. Afternoon, I mean. Urgh, whatever. I feel like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are engaged in a running battle with the Hounds of Hell inside my head. After the successful conclusion of that big nasty project at work we all went down the pub and, at the expense of the company, got absolutely battered. I actually forgot to eat anything all day as well which probably made it worse. Anyhow, having not slept all week I promptly staggered home in the early hours [...]
