Our good friends are throwing an after party following our Lincoln Hall show tonight. We’ll be playing an impromptu set, chalk full of… well, we don’t exactly know just yet. But, it will be good. And there will be libations for those who throw donations our way. For more information, check out the event page on Facebook. In other news: Reviewsic has just run an interview with Justin Martin. Feast your eyes upon its glory.

Finally, stay tuned for some exciting news.

Our show at Lincoln Hall with Aktar Aktar and Dastardly is quickly approaching and we’ve whipped up some nifty fliers to promote the occasion. If you’d like to help us let people know about the show, you can click the image, print it out and hang it up in your neighborhood. We also have a Facebook event page that you can invite your friends to.

See you next Saturday!

Thanks to everyone who’s sent in requests for The Plea on Fearless Radio. Because of you, we were in the Top 25 for plays this week. As a result, they’ve added Give and Take to their rotation. Keep those requests coming!

Automata will be opening up for none other than the Deftones at The Rave in Milwaukee on May 26th. For seriously discounted tickets, send an email to band (at) this is automata (dot) com… we’ll hook you up.

Automata has been working hard on booking shows lately and the bounty looks to be plentiful. At the moment we have two shows to announce, though there will surely be more soon. First off, we’ll be playing at The Frequency in Madison, WI on June 4th. Then, on June 19th, we’ll be opening for Artark Artark and Destardly at Lincoln Hall in Chicago. More to come…

Thanks so much to everyone who came out to celebrate the release of Microcosm with us at Kinetic Playground. We couldn’t have had a better time. If you took any photos at the show, feel free to send them over to us.

If you weren’t able to pick up a copy of Microcosm because you don’t live in Chicago, fear not, you can now order our sleek new digipaks at www.music.thisisautomata.com. Get em’ while they’re hot.

In other news, The Plea is now in rotation on Fearless Radio. Fans can request music by using the Big Blue Request Button on www.fearlessradio.com.  Either scroll through the music or use the search tool at the bottom of the request page.  Requests can be made two times per hour, up to ten times per day for any given user. If Automata makes it into the top 25 for the week, we’ll get another song added to regular rotation.  If we make it to the top five, they will be featured on their weekly show, The Fearless Five, hosted by founder Patrick “Papa Crunch” Oliver. So, send in your requests!
