Lonely Robot, the
project masterminded by producer, guitarist and vocalist John Mitchell (It
Bites, Frost*, Arena), released its debut album Please Come Home earlier this year and are
set to play two special one-off live shows this December. In anticipation of
this, a video for the track 'The Boy In The Radio' has been released, featuring
none other than Peter Cox (Go West) on vocals. John Mitchell had this to
say:
"Boy In The Radio
is a fictional tale about an insular kid who only finds his true voice when he
shifts into a greater dimension. I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed
making it. A big thank you to Peter Cox for contributing his time and energy,
and in doing so, making this boy's dream a reality."
You can watch the video
exclusively here:
As mentioned previously,
John and his band will play two
special one-off shows where he will be performing tracks from
Please Come Home as well as brand new material. John comments: "Lonely
Robot 2 is shaping up to be another stellar adventure but this time we're
drifting into the unknown world of the subconscious. The dream begins in
Spring!"
The two dates are as
follows:
4/12/15 - Cultuurpodium
Boerderij, Zoetermeer, Netherlands
20/12/15 - Scala,
London, UK
John had this to say
about the live dates:
"The reaction to
the album has been overwhelming, and I can't wait to present these songs in a
live setting with a full band. Expect some brand new material, which will be on
a new album coming early next year, plus maybe a few special guests."
