Redwood Acres Fair starts today. On tap tonight, musically, is Robotronica, electropunk from Bellingham, Washington. Their tongue in cheek on stage schtick and the autobiographical fat-kid anthem Jelly Rolls prove that they’ve got nothing to prove. They do what they do because they love it. Between shredding keys and shrieking lyrics, Anderson heaves himself headlong into the audience with his trusty SM58 vocal mic in hand, while King lets loose with chugging power chords and bursts of lead flourish and Neal decimates the audience with his thundering bass. By the end of the high-impact, in-your-face show, the gargantuan Anderson and King are drenched in sweat, while the diminutive-by-comparison Neal is barely breathing hard. King often throws his thrashed green Tortex picks to the audience, while Anderson throws out free hugs and Neal throws out a random anime soundtrack (myspace profile) :
