Pretty excellent review from ent-today.com- except maybe for the Joey Waronker miscue...

Junior Senior/Ima Robot

Troubadour
November 17

by Steven Hanna

"Junior Senior was plunging into “Rhythm Bandits” when a girl standing not far from me lifted her mobile phone into the air, and its picture screen shone brightly in the darkness of the Troubadour bar. I thought she was going to snap a photo of the band, but it turned out she was just showing a picture of her cat to the guy next to her, and somehow, you couldn’t help feeling like Junior Senior’s entire set could be summed up by that JPEG of a furry little kitty. The Danish sixsome is a bizarre indie reincarnation of the Bay City Rollers, playing bubblegum pop with an infectious beat, and their show was a substanceless, giddy trifle capped by a knockout, ridiculous medley intercutting “Twist and Shout” with Salt N Pepa’s “Push It.” And it was a really cute cat.

Far more impressive were locals Ima Robot, who came out and killed for an hour-long, watertight opening set that must have made the headliners question whether or not they’re in the right racket. The band is built around eccentrically-coifed lead singer Alex Ebert’s oddball dance moves and self-conscious yelps, and on their charming but unessential self-titled debut record the lunacy comes off as an elaborate joke, albeit a pretty good one. Make no mistake, though: onstage the band is not taking any prisoners, and Ima Robot rips through the ’80s as ruthlessly as the Mooney Suzuki deconstructs the Nuggets box set. Their viciously danceable professionalism probably shouldn’t come as any surprise, since the rhythm section is the same one Beck used on Midnite Vultures, and sure enough rock-solid drummer Joey Waronker and stellar bassist Justin Meldal-Johnson wore their party credentials like badges of honor, turning “12=3” into a mosh-pit-prompting bit of madness. And this is not to slight Ebert or his guitar-sligning partner in crime Tim Anderson, who made the band’s signature space-rap “Black Jettas” sound like a new generation’s “She Blinded Me With Science,” and who raised a figurative, futuristic glass to glam heroes past with “Dynomite.” I love Ima Robot’s fellow ’80s-styled garage band Hot Hot Heat as much as the next guy, but I’m starting to think Steve Bays and company had better watch their backs."

Right on.....
