…but we sure are sleepy, having spent many months tirelessly working day jobs since we saw you last. Some folk might of course consider these two situations as being broadly similar, the big difference being that DJing is a fair bit more difficult when you’re in the grave.
And DJing we are, at a gig organised [...]

Final reminder: we’re DJing tonight at BUSK, as part of their BOOST event. Entry is free, with the night running from 10:30 ’til 3am. More info can be found via their myspace, whilst BUSK itself can be found on Gough St opposite Island Bar. See you there?

Tuesday 30th September, 2008:

NME’s usually shoddy standards of journalism took a dramatic turn for the better last week, what with the inclusion of Robot vs Dinosaur in their Indie Map of Britain and Ireland supplement! Stating that “DJ duo Robot vs Dinosaur have been making quite a name for themselves at venues around town”, the Birmingham-themed article also [...]

…who came down to the last Robot vs Dinosaur! To those who couldn’t make it: you missed a double bill of crunch-tastic technomadness from Jade One and QXTC! You missed live visual jockeying from Chromatouch! And most of all, you also missed exceedingly good cake, and all the cake-related dual-birthday hilarity which invariably comes with [...]

And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for! Robot Vs Dinosaur will be back at Island on Friday September 19th, provided that the world doesn’t get destroyed by the Large Hadron Collider come this Wednesday (EDIT- didn’t happen in the end… how disappointing!). Sounding a little like Autechre and Mouse On Mars after having [...]

Robot vs Dinosaur will be DJing as part of Brum-based creative media network Project X Presents‘ next event, entitled “Digital Dystopia”. Taking place on Saturday 13th September at newly-unveiled Birmingham club BUSK, the performance will further develop and explore the group’s remarkable “Omnimedia Experience” format, presenting a seamless flow of art, music and visuals via [...]

Thanks to everyone who turned out to the last Robot Vs Dinosaur, after a slightly patchy Summer it was the best night we’ve had for quite some time- hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did! Special thanks are of course owed to Mike In Mono and Girljoy (pictured) for coming down and [...]

Wednesday 13th August, 2008:

Consider this a warning: less than 48 hours to go now ’til Robot Vs Dinosaur stomps back to Island Bar come this Friday (the 15th)! As well as top-notch brain-blowing live electronic action from Mike In Mono & Girljoy, we’ll also be DJing everything from Manitoba to Merzbow- expect electronic music of all flavours, some [...]

We’ve finally got ’round to sticking the photos up from our June event. Check them out via the gallery, and thanks to Andy Bullock for doing such a great job taking them, as ever.

Thanks to everyone who came to Robot Vs Dinosaur last Fri, hope you all had a fantastic night. Arc Vel laid down some strikingly organic-sounding beats, gorgeously augmented by live guitar and beautiful undersea visuals, whilst those foolishly sat outside smoking during Portmanteau’s set missed a flawless exercise in owl-rotation, soundtracked by their trademark ultra-glitchy [...]
