Artists - Gold Robot Records


The family of artists on Gold Robot Records is a diverse bunch. We don't "sign" artists, in the traditional sense, as our goal is simply to release sounds made by brilliant people in the hopes that our collective creation leads to bigger and better things for these talented artists. Without their creativity and involvement, GRR would cease to exist, which is quite sad.
		Roman Ruins Members: Graham Hill Involvement: GRR001 and GRRD02 Roman Ruins (Oakland) is Graham Hill's fortress of sound, where tiny pop music soldiers are assembled and sent out to battle the onslaught of influences that are constantly bombarding the fortress. myspace link Photo credit: Hunter Mack
		Panther Members: Charlie Salas-Humara (now includes Joe Fausten-Kelly) Involvement: GRR002 Panther (Protland) have released a full-length on Fryk Beat and are planning a follow-up on Kill Rock Stars (early 2008). Equal parts electronica, soul, and pop; all parts awesome. myspace link Photo credit: Nilina Mason-Campbell

		The Parish Members: Zac Stanley, Graham Hill, Frankie Koeller, Kim Stanley, & Andy Asp Involvement: GRR004 A raucous slice of Americana alongside heaping portions of rock and folk, this Oakland band is sure to charm one and all with their sound. myspace link official website Photo credit: The Band
		Lady Genius Members: Ashley Brewer, Jason Byers, Brian Caraway, Matt Stromberg, & Kyle Williams Involvement: GRR006 The local SF weekly recently described San Francisco band Lady genius as a mix of The Magnetic Fields and The New Pornographers. All we know is that it's unique, contagious, and downright good. myspace link Photo credit: ???
		Sweetie Members: Antonia, Andre, Omar, and Tom Involvement: GRR005 Jen Chochinov of Wiretap sums up their sound nicely: "To me Sweetie is the quintessential Indie pop/rock band. Catchy, catchy guitar & synth hooks with really sweet, laid back vocals. Omar's vocals remind me of a slightly softer and more soothing Ira Kaplan (of Yo La Tengo), and I was bobbing my head in total joy. Their brand of indie rock is the kind I can listen to non-stop – it was like that feeling when you're on a road trip and you chance upon an awesome college radio station that is playing everything you want to hear exactly how you want to hear it. Sweetie brought back the joy of new band discovery for me, and for that I say thank you." myspace link Photo credit: ???
