BIO
Robot Slide has a deep history together. Siblings Matt, Jake, and Todd Olson have known each other since day one (literally).  Liam and Todd played music together in college, and when all four of them eventually found themselves back in the Twin Cities, it was only natural that they started putting some songs together.

The members have performed with a number of other ensembles in the Twin Cities including the Minnesota Opera, Batucada du Norte Percussion Ensemble, and Sumunar Gamelan Ensemble, and have been commissioned to compose music for local musical establishments like Source Song Festival and VocalEssence. In Robot Slide, they synthesize all of these musical experiences, and imbue their brotherly love, into quirky and idiosyncratic ‘sort-of pop’ songs.

ON EXTEND: (out on Aura Vortex Records 2.22.22)
Robot Slide is a guitarless rock band from Saint Paul consisting of three brothers, Matt, Jake, and Todd Olson and their good friend Liam Moore. The spirit of sibling play is channeled in their music, though their Lego sets and Nintendos have been replaced by an array of vintage keyboards, synths, and samplers.  In combination with tight vocal harmonies and grandiose orchestral arrangements, these colorful blocks of sound are patchworked together to build whimsical, imaginative, humorous, and sometimes bizarre songs in their first full-length release, EXTEND.
