Hello!

Nice to meet you! We are now officially friends in the time it took you to read this since it most likey seems you are into some pretty neat stuff!

Well Done!

My name is Lee and I'm the guy who will be posting most frequently on this site though we do have contributors from time to time.
Now the blog is getting more hits and I'm beginning to post a lot more frequently I thought I'd take this opportunity to say a few things about what this blog is all about.




Robots Made Me Do It started life late 2007 as a handmade zine about music/art/stories and just generally awesome things but with the focus mainly on the music. I illustrated everything by hand using thick sharpies giving it a unique style.



Eventually though this became pretty expensive and seeing as I ws living in a pretty small and isolated location in North Wales it became to much work for so little pay-off to continue in this way. Not wanting to walk away completely but faced by the realities of my situation and surroundings I began the blog that is here now and continued writing in much the same way as before. I also got asked to write for the student paper and chose my favourite writings from the blog to be printed so that maybe at least someone would find it interesting.


We re-launched 'RobotsMMDI' with the first gig we had ever put on with one of our favourite artists, Jeremy Warmsley. The night was great despite a relatively low turnout and so began our forays into live music and events.

This will always be a music blog above all else but I also post about things I find pretty interesting or sometimes features that are non-music related from bands. Although I don't focus on one specific scene there will be lots of UK bands and events featured since I'm from England originally. Also, when I move out to Austin, TX there will probably be more Austin-centric stuff for me to check out and post about.

If you are in a band or if you are writer and would like to contribute/send tracks/perform/let me know about just about anything then send an email to kyumirecords@gmail.com.

Lee, x.
