BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!

Next month, in a NEW YEAR we shall come together on Saturday, January 10, with many of our friends to celebrate the legacy of David Bowie, who was also very much a normal carbonoid earth human in the same fashion as we!

What songs will we play? WE don't even know yet!

MAY 31! A show on a porch is usually abnormal and thus a thing that we would never, as standard Earth performance artists, ever do, but it is Porchfest and thus we will be playing on a porch with many of our friends in the normally accepted manner!
A West Philly Porchfest poster that's phrased kind of as an abstracted parade. Edweirdo & the Elephants (represented by an elephant with their heartbeat logo thing), The Skirts (represented by a majorette wearing their skirt logo), Burning Hair (represented by the Burning Hair mascot face guy juggling), Microgoblet (represented by a dwarven king holding an appropriately small goblet), and us, the No-Bots (represented by a marching girl with a camera for a head who is definitely not a cyborg from the planet Nobotron) All of whom will be playing in that order from roughly 12pm to 2:30pm on Saturday, May 31 on a porch on Kingsessing Avenue between 45th and 46th streets! You'll know which one because one of these bands will be playing on it, you see.

Friday, May 2, we return with another music performance of carbonoid nature in the strange and exotic land of South Philadelphia!

Be there or be transmuted by forces unknown into a polygonal shape that is considered socially unacceptable by your peers!
A poster for our upcoming gig on Friday, May 2, at Century (1350 S 29th S Philadelphia). 8pm start, $10 entry, the bill is the No-Bots (who are us, Coco and Jojo, your favorite musical act that is comprised of normal human performance artists of the standardly accepted type), the Koosmans, and the Poettes The poster itself is kind of a cutout collagey thing featuring various small toys and guitar effects pedals as well as the logos of all three bands and an infographic placard sharing the information I have just provided you above, all lovingly crafted by the wonderful and talented Jojo Nono

Attention fellow carbonoid citizens of Earth's Philadelphia (the best of the Philadelphias!)

We have several upcoming units of performance which you should find yourself intrigued and excited by the prospect thereof

Clear thy calendars and more details shall be upon you presently!
The moon is hazy and there are ants crawling on its surface. Suspended in the air in front of our nearest celestial body are glyphs. With the barest concentration you find you can read them and you discover information critical to the maintenance of your lifeforce-- No-Bots are playing on April 25 at the Pouch, on May 2 at Century, and on May 31 at Porchfest!

A close-up selfie of a normal unremarkable carbonoid human performance woman. She appears to be full of mischief because that is her prime motivation. Do not trust her.
