Biography
A sensual, hysterical electro-dance pop cocktail. Fresh, sweet, irresistible.
At the height of our disembodied digital era, two robots come disguised as girl-humans to deliver their funk-punk message to the world. Sue Denim and Dee Plume are Robots In Disguise. They're the most exciting songwriting duo of the moment - Dee's aerobic guitar solos and Sue's grooving bass lines dance over poetic lyrics and chunky electronic beats. Dream ESG, Peaches and Gainsbourg in a pop clusterfuck. Live, they ROCK! The stage is their playground - on guitars, singing n shouting, RID entertain their audiences, partying it up (throwing out DIY art and cool moves) n entertaining in a true old-skool stylee. Their debut EP, "Mix Up Words And Sounds" was a limited edition released through Sneaker Pimps' label Splinter and partnered them with producer (and Sneaker Pimps/IAMX frontman) Chris Corner, who has produced all their work. Following the release of MUWAS they were snapped up by French label Recall, and their self-titled debut album was released to a massive buzz throughout Europe in 2002. The same year, their debut single “Boys�? went out on Recall. Remixes from Hidden Agenda, SIN, The Servants and Tommy Hools plus a cheeky cover – Roxy Music’s “Country Life�? subverted with the help of boys Chris Corner (Sneaker Pimps/IAMX) and Noel Fielding (The Mighty Boosh) striking the pose – enchanted European music lovers. After extensive European touring of their first album, followed by a US release and Stateside touring, the Euro release of short, sharp, second album, "Get RID" happened in November '04 on Recall in France and Anorak Supersport (RID's latest label, based in Belgium) in Benelux, and is currently ripping up dance and bedroom floors all over the continent. 'Get RID!' is now out on Shock Records in Australia. Their first single "DJ's Got A Gun" is currently on maximum rotation on Triple J radio (Oz's Radio 1), coinciding with the girls' appearance in BBC2's The Mighty Boosh, now on SBS in Australia! The Robottes have already done a fantastic Belgian mini-tour and a storming French tour this year and are looking forward to returning to Belgium for another mini-tour in May, plus various summer festival dates all over Europe…
