Hey all,

Just wanted to let you know that if anyone lives in the Berlin area you should head over to RAUM 18 Saturday September 26, 2009, to check out "The Sea Has Fallen" a film by Alexandra Momin with music by Destructo Swarmbots.  Info for the venue can be found here....

Info about Alexandra Momin can be found here...

A project that came about after Destructo Swarmbots (Mike Mare & Joshua Booth) had been sitting around watching David Lynch movies with the sound off and playing the new songs they had recently recorded.  They realized they would rather hear them in a movie than on an album.
After receiving several video submissions, there was still one person Destructo Swarmbots wanted to work with.  Being big fans of the video work Alexandra Momin has done for Dälek as well as her own personal projects they new that she would be a perfect match for the 21 minute song "The Sea Has Fallen".  

Alexandra  was very excited to have the opportunity to work with Destructo Swarmbots, being a fan of there music.  She felt that this particular piece of fit perfectly with her style of filming, using a lot of layering and movements that take you back and forth between reality and a nightmare. "The music of Destructo Swarmbots really inspired every element of this film."

Long time no nothing everyone.....

Well finally we have an update, Mike and Josh have been busy losing there minds and re-inventing Swarmbots since we last updated anything.

Let's start here....This fall will see the soon to be legendary album MGR/Swarmbots "Amigos de la Guitarra" on Neurot Recordings. This album brought together MGR (Mike Gallagher/ISIS) and Mike Mare (Destructo Swarmbots/Dälek). These two got down and dirty over at Deadverse Studios in early '07 to record this epic album. A release date and press release will be posted soon enough as well as some ridiculous pics from our photo shoot.

Next we have the first American Swarmbots show of '08 on September 3rd at Crash mansion here in NYC. Mike and Josh will be unleashing some new Swarmbots material and an all new live show to please you with. Fuzzed Out Psychedelic Drone Pop awaits you.

Finally we are still working on our double cd the first disc "Buzzards" is complete and the as of now untitled second disc is being worked on. Expect a DVD release of several short films inspired by the songs on Buzzards to be released as well. Some crazy MOFO's have been generous enough to offer there talents and make some movie magic.

That's all for now, keep your eyes and ears tuned here for more news in the coming weeks.

Love,

Mike Swarmbots

The much anticipated Deadverse Massive 12" picture disc featuring Dälek, Destructo Swarmbots and Oddateee is officially released today. An MP can be heard at www.publicguilt.com/pg10.php. These are in a handful of stores already and can be ordered directly from the Destructo Swarmbots Web Store.


The Deadverse Massive 12" picture disc brings together three intense forces in music-- avant hip-hop unit, Dälek, ambient guitarist, Destructo Swarmbots and hip-hop madman, Oddateee. Spontaneity, open-mindedness to the recording process and a collective cohesiveness sprung forth an album that none of them would have every created alone and none of them would have imagined before the moment of creation. Easily, the strangest record any of these artists have ever touched. Artwork from the amazing Paul Romano rounds out the release.
