A little bit of Robots! history:

Let's look at a little bit of Robot's history.
The Robots began as the Sunday night band at The Wharf in Hallowell, Maine. Angela (you'll meet her a little later) , became the only member of the former Sunday night band who was still into doing the gig,she asked Rob to front the band and Rock'em Sock'em Robots! was born.
After a while, we had people calling ahead from places like Portland and Brunswick, to make sure we were going to be playing.
Wow it's starting to sound like we'd hit it big. Well all good things come to an end eventually and just when we thought we were on our way to fame and fortune.........
Well let's see what happened first? Oh yeah we lost our Sunday gig. How did we do that you may ask. It's the same question we kept asking ourselves. The owner of the bar in question decided it was time for something different so, he basically gave the gig back to the same band (sans Angela) who had the gig before us and who had opted out of the gig for more $$$ elsewhere. Oh well it's a tough bidness. We all know that.
Luckily, there are lots of other places to play and we began the task of getting ourselves into some of these venues. We played in Waldeboro (The Bog), Sanford (Spectators), Millinocket (3 Rivers Rafting) The Forks (3 Rivers and the Guide Olympics) as well as the occasional, last minute Wharf Wednesday and things started goin' pretty good.
And then, the band started to get smaller. Honey I shrunk the band!!! The Drummer had found a more lucrative gig. The bad news: no drummer, good news: we DID have gigs. We did what we had to in getting coverage for gigs booked and hoped to find a more permanent fix and then....................no bass player. ( You can't blame a jazz guy for wanting to do jazz gigs.). Not again, oh well once again we played the rhythm section du jour game. Ended up with some great combos but, we still had no actual band. Enter Mr. Glidden. "It was so cool, I would call him and say hey Jeff, we've got a gig in (enter town name here) and he would say yeah cool I'll be there." Rob reminisces." And I started thinking wow I mighta' found the missing Robot."
Not long after this, The Flying Newt had given up his gig as stunt-bassist/fire eater with "The West Nile Virus Electric String Quartet and Travelling Circus". He was happy to be informed that the gig required no insurance disclaimer forms nor vaccinations administered with large bore, rusty needles and seemed quite happy to just play the bass. And alas, Rock'em Sock'em Robots! was a band again!
