Rockbot (band)

Last updated

Rockbot is an American music group from Richmond, Virginia, with a sound self-defined as "Atari rock", combining synth pop, video game sound effects, and heavy metal music. As bassist Jonathan Sullivan, formerly with the group Jack's Mannequin, and guitarist Clark Fraley joined to form the band, they wished to feature a female singer, and were introduced to New York-based Apollo Smile. Reinforced by Bryan Stiglich on drums, Adam Thomas on Moog synthesizer, and guitarist Steve Burner, Rockbot went on to record debut extended play Joystick in 2002. [1] In 2003, Smile departed the band and was replaced with Kelli Hoosack. [2] That year, they released their first full-length, Atari Rock. In January 2004, Laura Thomas took the vocal role and also added keyboards.
