Indigenous Robot Drop New Video, Share Thoughts on Touring
by Tim Wenger
Denver psych-rockers Indigenous Robot have done quite a bit for an independent band. They have been to Japan, as well as around this country and are constantly working to engage their audience and increase their reach. The group’s latest effort is a video for the show “In A Dream,” which the band explains below as well as sharing some insight on how they pull it all together to hit road and why, contrary to what Canadian philosophical mastermind Avril Lavigne has publicly wondered, it doesn’t have to be so complicated.
CMB: Tell us about the process of making the video.
IR: Last summer we wrote “In a Dream” right before going in to record Revolting. We tracked it in one take and since then it’s kind of taken on a life of its own. We decided to piece together all of this random footage from our Revolting Tour into a crazy dreamlike sequence, showing so much random stuff happen and not really being able to explain or remember it all. Its a jumble. We love the randomness of tour and I guess that came through in the final video.
CMB: What are your fall plans?
IR: We are on our final leg of the Revolting Tour, heading to the East Coast in September. After that we plan on recording a new album.
CMB: You guys tour a lot. How do you make it all happen? What ways have you found to best finance and support yourselves while on the road and back at home and what advice do you have for other bands looking to hit the road more?
IR: We are completely DIY, meaning that if the 4 of us want to go somewhere, we make plans and go. It doesn’t have to be complicated, it just takes a common goal, dedication, hard work and a love for music. We constantly seek out sponsorships from people who love what we do. Our upcoming East Coast Tour is sponsored by Denver based Dream Books Company. Revolting Tour has also been sponsored by Humble Monster screen printing, DEFY Clothing, Ink Lounge, and Fireball Whisky.
CMB: You have some East Coast dates coming up, have you been out there before? How does the East Coast compare to other places you’ve been as far as the quality of the shows and the music community in the different cities?
IR: After going to the West Coast and SXSW several times, we really wanted to expand our reach by going East. We are all from CO/the West Coast, so traveling in the other direction is a new experience for us. We’re excited to go and see what we find.
CMB: What is your place in the Colorado music scene?
IR: With Revolting Tour we have been a lot of different places, a lot of people ask us about the new ways of life here. It is really awesome to be able to represent Denver and tell everyone to come visit our state and experience the new progression first hand!
