Rock 'n' Roll Monkey and the Robots - Back to Beatsville

Rock N' Roll Monkey and the Robots obviously dig kitschy 60's sci-fi stuff and retro mechanical toys. But what they also like is to make shakin' cool psycho-pop in the vein of B-52's with lots of twang and surf feel. Inspirations may also be the Cramps take on psycho-whatever with their b-movie twist. All songs are damned catchy and makes your feet twist. I would like to say that this band could be the new saviours of alternative pop. This is great stuff - weird - but groovy. If you dig: B-52's, Gun Club, The Mummies - anything catchy ...
