Robotic Pirate Monkey in its truest essence is the holy trinity of electronic music.

RPM is a collaboration of three well known DJ/ Producers out of Boulder, CO. Andrew Hathaway (Hathbanger), Matt Berryhill (PEV)and Matt Flesher (Flesher) realized their collective potential in the spring of 2010 and have since put every waking effort into bringing people the music that makes them go bananas.

DJ Harry is from Boulder, CO, and released his debut CD The String Cheese Remix Project on Instinct Records/SCI Fidelity Records in 2001. DJ Harry focuses on dance electronica, especially high-energy club sounds. DJ Harry's influences include the Grateful Dead and a San Francisco DJ collective called the Wicked Crew, who performed dance music outside Dead concerts. It was at such a show in the Bay Area that DJ Harry first saw the confluence of the improvisational and spontaneous elements of the two disparate musical forms.
Leaving Northern California in 1994, he relocated to Telluride, CO, where he would spin in small local bars. It was also in that small mountain town where DJ Harry would meet the String Cheese Incident. Sensing the similarities between jam bands and electronica, DJ Harry approached his friends in the String Cheese Incident about fusing the two genres. The resulting The String Cheese Remix Project is a 66-minute continuous mix album, 90 percent of which is samples taken from the band's live recording archive. The final album was a reinterpretation of a single concert preserved on a 24-track recording. With the Remix Project, DJ Harry helped create the new progressive house jam genre populated by a few others, including the Disco Biscuits.

Defined as the inverse of deja-vu, this progressive jam band's name conveys the spirit of their shows. We're doing something familiar ~ playing songs we've played before, hitting the dancefloor like we have so many glorious nights in the past, perhaps catching that good old fashioned buzz ~ yet somehow, springing from the creative depths of the moment, the experience is completely fresh and new.
Fans who've witnessed this energetic quartet's flexible range of abilities and willingness to tread into new territory will attest that this group lives up to its name. These players bring to the stage a passion for performance, improvisation and experimentation, a diverse set of influences, the technical prowess needed to execute a widely varied catalog of complex songs, and, of course, a Hammond organ! There are smatterings of rock, folk, funk, blues, jazz, prog, electronic, bluegrass, and ??? Lyrically, their songs range from esoterically thoughtful to downright silly. It all culminates in a live experience that's constantly pushing new ground. What can be counted on at every Wubakia show is a lot of stokedness streaming at you from the stage, some damn fine musicianship, and a strong urge to dance.
Wubakia has been thriving underground for 4 years as one of Santa Cruz's few true original jam bands. Now, they're actively stretching out into more locales, and beginning to enshrine some of their epic, multi-sectioned songs in their first full-lenth studio album. 2011 will be the year, so keep an ear out, and if they're nearby, don't miss the chance. It's gonna sound good!
