You guys were awesome at the Corner last night! Thanks for the great show.

Oh, and broken beer bottles on the stage pit floor makes for lessened fun and even worse dancing. Ouch.

You have a great website here…
There’s lots of room to spread out and put your feet up. The music is great and the mood that you create is just right.
It’s a perfect place!

And did we mention that the The ROBOTS FROM MARS have a new song,
“Spaceship Earth”

“Better plug your ears so that your brains don’t leak out…”
Johnny Air Guitar.

Visit their My Space page to experience the #1 song from the Red Planet.
The reviews have begun to come in:


“Spaceship Earth is destined to become the worst song of all time!”
The Psychic News Network

“Spaceship Earth sounds like it was played by a bunch of drunken robots…”
The Snob Blog & Party Hearty Militia

“Can’t wait to jam with the Robots From Mars!”
Bill Clinton

“Yuck Yuck…The Robots From Mars sound like Devo on uppers…”
George W.

“The Robots From Mars are incredibly boring in a heavy handed low brow sort of way.”
Dick Cheney

“Spaceship Earth will take you to a place that you don’t want to go!”
Barak Obama

“Just like some Democrats we know,” John McCain


“If you are really really BUZZED and you squint really really hard, the Robots From Mars don’t SOUND half bad,” Bender,
“And it shouldn’t matter that they paid me to say that…
I still get to keep the money, right?”
Peerapon

Here's what Samantha G. had to say about Union Pool:

"I hafta say, I kinda hate this place. I keep going here, though, but WHY? Oh yeah, my friends like it.

It's the kind of place where people are too cool to acknowledge the presence of other people around them besides their group of sad, skinny, aging hipster friends.

The lighting sucks - it's not dark enough to make people good-looking, and not bright enough to give off a fun vibe. The outdoor area in the summer is packed with assholes, and in the winter it's empty except for a huge bonfire that (ok fine) is kind of cool. I will give them points for the back room where they have live acts. It's spacious and there's pretty good sound quality.
