Robot Princess

It may be fair to suggest that growing up in New York City breeds a certain need for ultra stimulation in a person. When Robot Princess’s Beau Alessi relocated to Maine after college, the singer/guitarist found himself stranded from any such vitality - let alone a relatable music community - and it was here that he began to use songwriting as a tool for serious expression, his past projects taking a more carefree tone. Although somewhat more serious than his previous endeavors, Robot Princess is not devoid of playfulness. The band name alone speaks to that, and keytarist Catherine Anderson’s rainbow-colored ‘axe’ is another hint at these lighthearted undertones. Without revealing any level of concrete personal experience, Beau assumes an objectivity that helps him draw on connections between the characters that live in his songs and their antagonists, all presented with the band turned up to 10.
