Huh Robots

by Laren J. Rapp
At Zazoos this past weekend I had the privilege of witnessing Huh Robots perform. One of the first things I like to look for when observing live performances is how an artist or group of musicians transform an ordinary atmosphere into something spectacular.Up and coming musicians are forced to juggle the rush of loading and unloading equipment in between act changes day in and day out.But as Huh Robot  took a deep breath after their final sound check,  the earthy sound of their mountainous aroma proved captivating.The Louisville local three piece consist of Rosella Pearl, on guitar and vocals, Adam Copelin, on bass guitar, and Kelly Newton, on lead guitar. Pearl's vocal style along with the group's rhythmic diversity is comparable to that of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. While they don't have any performances posted at this time, songs such as "Come Again" and "Appalachian Gold" can be heard on their self published album "Heads or Tails" for sale via http://www.huhrobots.webs.com

Heads or Tails, the debut album by trio huH Robots, hearkens back to a time when music was made on front porches, not on GarageBand. This blues-tinged folk outfit, featuring Rosella Pearl and Kelly Newton on vocals and Adam Copelin on bass, tackles hot-button issues like mountaintop removal on “Appalachian Gold” and then blows off some steam with the somewhat defeatist anthem “Drink It All Away.” The raw sound quality makes it seem like you’re sitting on the porch with them as they pick and strum through melodies. This is classic storytelling put to music — set in Kentucky. I hear huH Robots’ live performances are infectious. See for yourself when the play at Wick’s on Baxter Avenue Friday night. - The Leo Weekly
