Team Robespierre

---------------------------------Dirty sounds for dirty people ------------------------- --LETS HAVE A DIRTY SLEEP OVER AMERICA!! ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------These five guys are the perfect band to ask to play when you want to turn your broken-down loft or vacant parking lot into an instant party space. Just have them plug in their guitar, bass and keys and watch them go for it. Fun noise will be made, with all members dishing out vocal jabs. Team Robespierre utilizes a whole mess of both machine and man-made beats, and you can certainly dance to their thumps. Just don't confuse this with dance-punk. This is more like punk-dance. You will have a good time at this show. --OH MY ROCKNESS---------------------------------------------------- ---------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------Think tough beats melodic breakdowns and hot grease… actually try electro-gangsta-punk. Bring a 40 and shorty to bump and grind, trip the light fandango and perhaps a two-step will be your fate to their hyphy meets hardcore scream-alongs.--Todd P----------------------------------------------------------- -------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ----- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------Team Robespierre is among New York's most energetic bands they incorporate pounding, abrasive rhythms and chanted, child-like vocal melodies.- L MAGAZINE---------------------------------------------------- ---------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ ----Team Robespierre, also hailing from Brooklyn, are quickly becoming one of my preferred opening bands. They can’t really sing, despite the 3-or-4-way dividing of vocal duties, and their variety of keyboard-backed punk rock is admittedly pretty basic (albeit serviceable), but they pour enough energy into their performances to blast straight past any such obstacles. Other aspiring bands should take note: chant/scream your words with enough fervor and no one will care if they’re in key (a friend, struggling to describe the obvious appeal at a prior show came up with “punk cheerleaders”). Of course, crowd surfing while singing probably can’t steer you wrong either (note: probably one for the more interaction-ready Brooklyn audiences than those Manhattan stoics). And why not have two keyboardists up there, while you’re at it. It can’t hurt. Finally, definitely sell handmade shirts for just $5. These guys clearly have a sound plan.- IMPOSE MAGAZINE ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------- ---The main room at Glasslands felt as if someone hit a hidden "Fun" switch from the moment hometown Team Robespierre hit the stage. The sweaty, booze fueled crowd quickly turned into a sea of hands & feet dancing, diving & surfing along with the band through an infectious set of Brooklyn punk that easily lived up to the band's growing buzz. -FIDDLE WHILE YOU BURN-------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------- ---Electro-punk garage band from Brooklyn that makes neighbors from Greenpoint to Bushwick call the cops. Definitely book these guys for your next demolition party. -MyOpenBar.com---------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------This city seems poised to go crazy for Team Robespierre. There heavy, pounding rhythm section is offset nicely by an impecable sense of dancey melodies.- L MAGAZINE
