This stage show, which is influenced by acts such as Rob Zombie, Alice Cooper, and Marilyn Manson, has helped propel RobotGod into the finals of the 2001 KMBY/Cuervo Gold Battle of the Bands. In addition to playing shows, our fourth CD, Suicide Club Volume III, is currently being recorded. This EP, part three of a trilogy, should be out at the end of Summer.

Press Reviews The Weekly Oct. 1999“…Robot God has intentions to take alternative rock to new heights with an all-original sound that is perhaps best described as experimental noise rock with just a touch of sonic oblivion to keep you on your toes. Musical influences such asSonic Youth and NIN are present, though I imagine the quartet is going to take it all a step further.”Metro Santa CruzMay 1999“Something more than carbon monoxide is lurking from the garage. This beast is not punk, this beastis not metal, this beast is Robot God, and it has escaped from the outlet on its new Kill Yourself CD. The band makes seductively dark tapestries, kind of like PJ Harvey accidentally going into thewrong practice space and jamming with Nine Inch Nails…Violet’s breathy superb harmonies make “Feel No Pain” more fresh than a monster Mentos. The inspired, sassy rants and spunky grunge riffs of “Betty Ford” work hand-in-hand to dizzying heights. Violet’s ultra sturdy base is a cherry on top of the experimental sundae.”FreAlity Jan. 2000“The first band, RobotGod is a girl fronted band consisting of a talented singer in pigtails (Violet Lieby)who possesses a very melodic, captivating voice, more stage presence than Courtney Love, and a talentedband to back her up. This show culminated in all the band members banging out a beat on a bass drum and the crowd chanting along with “Kill Yourself”. Over all, a very impressive performance for this young band.”Vamp Cruz Oct. 2000“Having heard a decent buzz on these guys and witnessing their killer, theatrical performances, I was pretty stoked to check this CD out. This four song release does not disappoint. RobotGod has wisely decided to stick with the formula that made their previous release “Kill Yourself” such an impressive debut. “Suicide Club” delivers simple, ambient, industrial grooves with Violet Lieby’s versatile voice filling out the mix. One listen to the song “Crawl” finds Violet transforming from beauty to beast and back again in the blink ofan eye. Brian Rucker proves himself to be one of themost solid drummers in today’s local scene. Keyboarder Ken, forgoes the standard industrial sampling to form a tight unit with the guitars…”
