'My Robot Friend' is an electronic dance music collective from New York.

Falling somewhere between the live energy of Devo and the creative, refined performance art of Laurie Anderson.

A.k.a Howard Robot, My Robot Friend has appeared on Rolling Stone magazine's Hot List and has showcased his robot singing/songwriting abilities around the world on stages, opening for luminaries such as the Scissor Sisters, Le Tigre and Herbert.

My Robot Friend's new album 'Dial 0' is now finished and has been signed by Soma Records for release in 2006. This style of the individual tracks in the album varies.

In November 2004, My Robot Friend's 'Hot Action!' made its emergence from New York City's electronic underground. The album spent several months in the CMJ charts and hit the top 20 electronic albums in iTunes international sales charts.

Tracks have appeared on compilations on influential labels like Mute, Ladomat, Soundslike and Ministry of Sound. Remixes have come from Matmos, Steril and Zombie Nation and the Pet Shop Boys even covered a My Robot Friend song about them called, fittingly, 'We're The Pet Shop Boys', which has also been covered by Robbie Williams.
