From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ima Robot. is a rock band based in Los Angeles that formed in the early 2000s. The band's vocalist, Alex Ebert, originally wanted to be a rapper before becoming a singer. The band's other original members were Timmy the Terror, Oligee, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, and the prolific studio drummer Joey Waronker. Meldal-Johnson and Waronker were sought-after musicians who had played with Beck before joining Ima Robot. The band had tough times and money issues before they signed a record deal with Virgin Records. Their first full-length album, the self-titled Ima Robot, featured the single "Dynomite". The band has toured with Hot Hot Heat and She Wants Revenge. Waronker, Meldal-Johnsen, and Oligee have since left the band, with former Oleander drummer Scott Devours taking over drumming duties. The band's song "A is For Action" was featured on the game SSX3.
