"Triple Crown has its regular triple threat Friday with a line-up that is almost too good to be true. The Sahm family has been more than a little blessed with talent. Blame it on dad, the great Sir Douglas. His son Shandon is equal to the mantle. Appearing on the bill with Shandon Sahm is Molly and the Hatchets and Robbie and the Robots. Molly Hayes lights up any room in which she sings with her clear, lovely voice. Robbie Doyen is a local treasure. In short, it’s going to be so crowded with talent at Triple Crown tonight we don’t know how they’ll fit a bottle of beer in there. Oh, but they will, don’t worry." -Hap Mansfield www.Newstreamz.com
"If Robbie and The Robots are as delightful and fun as their album suggests, the results are undeniably a rockin’ good time." --Ashley Cass of Newstreamz.com
"Whatever “robots” the multi-talented Robbie Doyen assembles are sure to make some good music." --Hap Mansfield of Newstreamz.com
"Groups like Robbie and the Robots come around only once in a while: Usually at a time when you find yourself stuffing more and more bar napkins into your ears and thinking, 'they all sound alike.'
The Robots are carefully clumsy, tastefully raw and their lyrics are a good reason to remove the napkin plugs, lest the semi-sweet but dark humor, fly right by." --Mark Kneubuhl from San Angelo LIVE!
"Local musician Robbie Doyen of Robbie and the Robots recently released a showcase of local San Marcos talent on a compilation CD entitled 'SMTX 78666.' This compilation features no less than 19 different local bands and all proceeds go to benefit Fibromyalgia research."--Sarah Stevens from Newstreamz.com
“Their show is going to be great. It’s totally super-fun music, great melodies and debauched lyrics,” Howard said. “You’ll feel really dirty after listening to the lyrics, but I promise you — it’s worth it.” -Andrew Howard of Rockus Circus

“Todaysterday is a great album for those who love genuinely creative and incredibly witty rock and roll music.” -G*:The San Marcos Scene: San Marcos, TX
“I fell in love with this band back in the summer. I was already mesmerized with childlike glee and excitement before they even started to play. You see, on stage, they set up a tent and campfire. They hang a giant moon and some stars. Then the lights go dim and then they start to play some of the cleverest, wry, funny shit you've ever heard.” -Amanda Newman from Boca Tinta in Dallas, TX
“A delighful mix of surf-rock, geek-rock, and pretty much every other kind of rock.” -Jennifer Pollack from the San Marcos Scene: San Marcos, TX
“He bounces around the stage aimlessly like a doped-up Richard Simmons with scraggly, uncombed hair. His songs make sweet pop music magic in a Beach Boys-meets-Weezer-meets-The Go Go’s sort of way.” -Jeff Walker from the University Star: San Marcos, TX
A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store, but couldn't find one big enough for her family. She asked the stock boy, 'Do these turkeys get any bigger?'

What should the healthcare public option be re-named as? "The American Plan"? "Kennedy Care"? Most importantly, what is the state of progressive communications? Why do conservatives continue to overwhelm the debate? Visit http://wp.me/ps8BM-75 Peace!
