Info for Living Isn't Easy

Improvisation und Experimente bilden den Kern der DNA des Robocobra Quartetts, was fast schon absichtlich im Widerspruch zu ihren Wurzeln als Post-Punk-Band steht. Mitglieder ohne musikalische Ausbildung neben Innovatoren der europäischen Musikhochschulen - das Ergebnis ist ein groovegetriebener, aber zerebraler Knaller, der an Fugazi, Talking Heads und Zeitgenossen wie Squid und Black Country, New Road erinnert. Die eklektische, freie Natur ihrer Liveshows erlaubt es ihnen, von Momenten der Freude und Verspieltheit zu Phasen intensiver Wut zu wechseln und einen einzigartigen Sound zu kreieren, der ihnen Einladungen zum Montreux Jazz Festival, Latitude und sogar zum Inversia Festival im polaren Norden Russlands eingebracht hat.
