The prettiest noisemakers in Oakland (ok, in a town where the Raiders play that’s not saying much, but work with me here), Replicator, are taking it to the streets for three weeks beginning this Friday, August 17th, at The Smell in Los Angeles. The three-piece sample-laden surgical riffmasters (it’s early in the morning, so i can’t come up with anything better than shlock like “riffmasters”–sorry Conan, Ben, and Chris) are touring behind their latest full-length release Machines Will Always Let You Down, a title that implies that the sexbot Ben builds in the song “Delicious Fornicake” isn’t quite up to snuff. Don’t fret, Ben–i’m sure some other nerded-out sci-fi noise band you’ll run into on tour has a robot left over from the days when they were singing about building robots to bang.

Item of note: Italicized spots represent places where the band is still looking to fill out some gaps in the tour; if you can help, email guitarist Conan Neutron at neutron@replicator5000.com. Item of note the Second: Chicago’s rock show at the Empty Bottle on Sunday, Sept. 2 with IfIHadAHiFi and Bear Claw is presented by our pals at 312unes.com! Sept. 2 may be a Sunday, but it’s the Sunday before Labor Day, which makes it a Saturday, so you Chicago fools have no reason to skip out on this. Replicator will tear your face off, kiss it, and staple it back on upside-down like they’re Si Coltrane from Preacher or some shit. Assloads of respect.
