Bio
Die Robot is an electronic rock trio from Portland, Oregon. This is future rock in a post-industrial age. Their sound straddles rock and electronic with a wide appeal. Unique, haunting, and romantic, Die Robot is full of angst and soul with the groove of a predatory animal. It all started in the summer of 2012, when former members of Pop Dolls, Vince Christian and Barbie Saint, moved to Portland where they met Angela Johnson. Vince provides powerful vocals, a fierce performance and an intense electronic soundscape. Barbie's strings are dark, mean and passionate, combining not only bass and guitar, but synthesized leads simultaneously. A unique sound accomplished with special gear designed by RetroMechanical Labs. Angela's rhythms fill the dance floor, and her upright electronic set accentuates an engaging performance.
"Die Robot is one of the best bands to come out of Portland. They have a sound that is unique, haunting, romantic, full of angst and soul" - Sean Johnson (DJ Kaos)
"Die Robot's new sound is really good. The guitar is just heavy enough, the drums are crisp, vocals rock, and the groove of the bass is like a predatory animal A+ (DJ Horrid)"
