Earlier this year, The Bots released a music video for their song "Blinded" that was directed by The Walking Dead star Norman Reedus. Watch the video HERE and check out a behind-the-scenes clip featuring Reedus HERE. The band made their network television debut in February, performing "Blinded" on Late Night with Seth Meyers. Billboard noted that the band "aced their TV debut with a raw performance that evoked The
Black Keys and Jimi Hendrix," and later featured the band as an Emerging Pick of the Week.
The Bots received high praise from Interview, who included the band in their "15 Faces of 2015" feature and Alternative Press, who included the band in their "100 Bands You Need to Know in 2015" list. The band was profiled in in LA Weekly, who called them "L.A.'s most celebrated rock duo" and said, "watching The Bots' kinetic jams can remind anyone over 30 of the joyous exuberance and purity that music once brought."
The band's debut full-length, Pink Palms, was released in October 2014 via FADER Label. The LA Times premiered the record and called it "a mash of frenetic garage rock and lush indie rock." Zane Lowe premiered "All I Really Want," the album's first single, proclaiming, "The future - a big part of it - belongs to them." NPR
Music called the song "an absolute knockout" and the album full of "playful catchy songs that rock hard."
The band currently stars in Mitsubishi's "Every Mile Matters" national TV commercial. The spot features their album track "All Of Them (Wide Awake)." The band performed a stripped-down version of the song for NPR's Tiny Desk Concert.
Bandmates Mikaiah Lei (lead vocal, guitar, bass) and Anaiah Lei (drums & percussion, backing vocal) recorded their first album together when they were just 15 and 12, respectively. They self-released their first three albums and completed two Vans Warped Tours, two AFROPUNK Fests, countless European festivals, and support tours with Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Damon Albarn's Africa Express, Refused, and Bad Brains. They released their EP, Sincerely Sorry, on FADER Label in 2013, which spurred The New York Times to predict, "They are on the cusp of stardom."
