We're excited about the coming apocalypse

About Me

Dear Lobot,I know you know me. We met at the show. When I walked in I felt like I was being poisoned, but then I felt I could get behind it. The melodic trash, it moves me, makes me calm. I'm calm now. I know you know me.I would withhold from all vulgarity for reasons of alienating your group from a broader audience. This is my number. It's XXX-XXXX. Call me and I'll read you my poetry. It's like you. But you know this. Who was that you were talking to at the show?I've got to go now. See you soon.

It’s like we’re a zombie band

The aftermath of our September show has left me feeling quite strange. Firstly, the show was really quite good, despite our small rehearsal time and Dave having to use a composite drum kit - ironicall...

Lobot Reunion? Already? Christ....

As we all know, in the five months or so since Lobot disbanded many people have died. All over the world. Like, a lot of them. Merv Griffin for one. Yeah, he's dead. And you know what? You can blame u...

Lobot salutes James Brown, our true father

I'm sure you've all heard. We actually felt his death in our dreams, shot up in our beds (Lobot sleeps in a big room with different color beds) and cried as one "Noooooooooo!", though Nick quickly rep...

We return to action 11/3 with a new face on bass

Obey the fist! Ah... sorry. We were having the Idi Amin dream again. That'd be a fucked up band name. Anywho...So our ever so brief hiatus comes to a crashing halt on November 3rd at the Monkey Bar in...
