"If Robbie and The Robots are as delightful and fun as their album suggests, the results are undeniably a rockin’ good time." --Ashley Cass of Newstreamz.com
"Whatever “robots” the multi-talented Robbie Doyen assembles are sure to make some good music." --Hap Mansfield of Newstreamz.com
"Groups like Robbie and the Robots come around only once in a while: Usually at a time when you find yourself stuffing more and more bar napkins into your ears and thinking, 'they all sound alike.'
The Robots are carefully clumsy, tastefully raw and their lyrics are a good reason to remove the napkin plugs, lest the semi-sweet but dark humor, fly right by." --Mark Kneubuhl from San Angelo LIVE!
"Local musician Robbie Doyen of Robbie and the Robots recently released a showcase of local San Marcos talent on a compilation CD entitled 'SMTX 78666.' This compilation features no less than 19 different local bands and all proceeds go to benefit Fibromyalgia research."--Sarah Stevens from Newstreamz.com
“Their show is going to be great. It’s totally super-fun music, great melodies and debauched lyrics,” Howard said. “You’ll feel really dirty after listening to the lyrics, but I promise you — it’s worth it.” -Andrew Howard of Rockus Circus

“Todaysterday is a great album for those who love genuinely creative and incredibly witty rock and roll music.” -G*:The San Marcos Scene: San Marcos, TX
“I fell in love with this band back in the summer. I was already mesmerized with childlike glee and excitement before they even started to play. You see, on stage, they set up a tent and campfire. They hang a giant moon and some stars. Then the lights go dim and then they start to play some of the cleverest, wry, funny shit you've ever heard.” -Amanda Newman from Boca Tinta in Dallas, TX
“A delighful mix of surf-rock, geek-rock, and pretty much every other kind of rock.” -Jennifer Pollack from the San Marcos Scene: San Marcos, TX
“He bounces around the stage aimlessly like a doped-up Richard Simmons with scraggly, uncombed hair. His songs make sweet pop music magic in a Beach Boys-meets-Weezer-meets-The Go Go’s sort of way.” -Jeff Walker from the University Star: San Marcos, TX

I'm sorry that I have a life and do not check my myspace religiously. I am, however, bummed that I didn't get to build your set list for Thursday night when it was such a hit on Wednesday. You were awesome regardless. Call me this weekend so you, me, and sarah can hang, I already miss John....so I need to drown some sorrows. Love you!

Bean is one awesome cat. I like the clip-on tie that you made him in the first picture, he looks like he was ready for a night on the town! I used to have a kitty named Ash that looks a lot like him. I'm a Bruce Campbell fan, so his name came from the Evil Dead films.
But like Bean, he was a total scaredy cat. He'd sometimes bring home a dead bird for the Missus, but was usually more apt to curl up on my pillow or demand a belly rub.
I'll light a candle for Bean and will be sending healing vibes in your direction. He's in a better place - swimming in a sea of fish with all the mardi gras beads that he could ever want.
