At the height of our disembodied digital era, two robots come disguised as girl-humans to deliver their funkpunk message to the world. Sue Denim and Dee Plume are Robots In Disguise - the most exciting songwriting duo of the moment.

Dees aerobic guitar solos and Sues grooving bass lines dance over anthemic lyrics and pogo electro beats.Dream ESG, Peaches and Gainsbourg in a pop clusterfuck. Live, they ROCK! The stage is their playground - on guitars, singing n shouting, RID entertain their audience, partying it up (throwing out DIY art and cool moves) n entertaining in true old-skool style.

Their debut EP, "Mix Up Words And Sounds" was a limited edition released on Sneaker Pimps label Splinter and partnered them with producer (and Sneaker Pimps/IAMX frontman) Chris Corner, who has produced all their work.
Following the release of MUWAS they were snapped up by French label Recall, and their self-titled debut album was released to a massive buzz throughout Europe in 2002.
The same year, their debut single "Boys" went out on Recall. Remixes from Hidden Agenda, SIN, The Servants and Tommy Hools plus a cheeky cover - Roxy Musics "Country Life" subverted with the help of boys Chris Corner (Sneaker Pimps/IAMX) and Noel Fielding (The Mighty Boosh) - enchanted European music lovers.

After extensive European touring of their first album, followed by a US release and Stateside touring, the release of short, sharp, second album, "Get RID" happened in November 04 on Recall in France and Anorak Supersport in Benelux - and is currently ripping up dance and bedroom floors all over the continent. "Get RID!" is also out on Shock Records in Australia and New Zealand, and is due to be released in Germany and Switzerland this September on Crosshair and in Austria this October on Acute.
Dee and Sue have just made an appearance in the second series of the BBCs The Mighty Boosh, as Anthrax and Ebola the goth girls (in the first series they played Neon and Ultra the electro psychos!)....
The Robottes played a storming French tour this spring where they reached the towns they missed on their last visit there in November. Elles ont kiffé! Having played the best Euro festivals of the summer they are now preparing to hit Germany with their live shows, this autumn.
