Where the hell is the year going?

Where the hell is the year going? I can't believe St Patricks Day is only a week away. Feels like yesterday when I was stuffing myself with Xmas food. Anywho, welcome all of you again to the brand new Robotnik newsletter. I've tons of news for you - German/Austrian/Irish March and April dates,working on 2nd album, People Walk Away EP release with German label Future Pop Stuff & working with The Strokes producer Gordan Raphael.

Erik Penny around Germany and recording. I wanna say hi to everyone I met in Munich, Hamburg and Koln last week. Those gigs were really special and I can't wait to meet you all again. The first Robotnik's Random Rampage show in Glashaus Arena in Berlin was a hugely successful night. Thanks again to Barbara Panther and Sneaky for performing so well. You can see all the nights antics on this cool video right here.

Since the last time we touched base with each other Ive managed to do a lot of gigs, touring with my friend

ROBOTNIKS RANDOM RAMPAGE 2

Robotnik's Random Rampage is on this Saturday night in Berlin 13th March. I'm very excited about this one cause not only do I get a chance to play again in Berlin, but I also share the stage with the band The Ettes. These guys will be rocking it out after me and hopefully bring the Glashaus Arena crashing down to its knees. This night will also be the celebration of my first record release in Germany. I'm proud to announce that the People Walk Away EP is being released by German label Future Pop Stuff.

Gordan Raphael (The Strokes producer) fell in love with the song People Walk Away and I was so delighted when he asked me if could he do his own remix of the track. It's savage! The tracklisting of the EP is as follows:

  1. People Walk Away (Radio Edit)
  2. People Walk Away (Album Version)
  3. People Walk Away (Gordan Raphael Remix Radio Version)
  4. People Walk Away (Gordan Raphael Remix Full Version)
