Andrew and David first began jamming together during 2004 at Zen studios, Stoke Newington, running through an electic mix of raucous songs. The lyrics and chords came afterwards once the tapes had been deciphered.
The duo played their first gig at the Aquarium in Old St, when a support band pulled out at the last minute. Julian (Drinkme) later generously gave them a car since of the band's previous two, one failed M.O.T. and was reduced to a block of conceptual art, whilst David's Saab had been totalled when he was practicing on black ice.
However, David had other ideas. He swapped the car for beautiful rusty pick-up. The band had found a sound, a name and a way of getting it out.
"Wetter is massive, it will make Julian a star" - Alan McGee (Creation records) "Very impressed" - David J (Love and Rockets) "An infectious release, a few steps away from acclaimed success" - mojophenia "This guy has massive talent" - boom boom chik

Their music combines hip-hop, trip-hop and downtempo with traditional Middle-Eastern music, with a commitment to their local culture and an awareness of the imposing presence of Palestine in their lives.

Early reviews say: From the opening AC/DC inspired groove of “Cocaine” , a wickedly arranged cover of J.J. Cale’s narcotic classic, Black Robot serves instant notice with their self-titled debut that not only do they have it, they damn near destroyed the laboratory to get it. This mechanical/musical beast was conceived and constructed for the divine, ultimate destruction of brain cells, ear fibers and false perceptions about what it truly means to rock as if our very survival as a race depended on it. -Lonn Friend
