I would look for something to be announced in the next month or so. Keep checking back as it will be posted here.

Lomax, since you're over there in the U.K, is the single ubiquitous and widely available over there?

That's what we thought--the only copies we've been able to find are promos being re-sold on eBay. Be willing to pay a lot for them if you go that route.

Anyway, keep us posted on when you see Ima Robot in stores over there, single, album, or otherwise. We know there's a European tour in the works with some band, they apparently had a few offers, but we don't know who yet.

I saw the Strokes last night. If Ima Robot spent 40 minutes "opening" it would be a big mistake on the Strokes part. Honestly, they are great, but the electricity of Alex and Co. would be devastating to their whole schtick.

I think it is safe to say after the last tour that Ima Robot is a bit of a threat to most headlining acts. But you have to admit, they know how to warm up a crowd and if the headliners have some balls they will try to use this energy for their own set.

How were the Strokes, anyway? Did they play The Viper Room?

The Strokes played an unannounced show at the Viper Room on Monday evening. I saw them here in SF on Tuesday at the Civic. It was pretty cool. Half the (huge) venue was closed and they didn't even fill the floor. That said, it was a good set (short as usual). Ima robot would cause problems for them, honestly. Playing in two different leagues, no shit. The Strokes pen some incredible songs but in a live setting it is not even close. Julian would have to start drinking again or something.
