This cartoon-violence.com website is as old as our band — going on 15 years soon. It was designed for desktop computers — which literally don’t exist anymore, and we just haven’t done the work to make the content mobile-friendly. So, especially since nobody reads the content anyway, we have set up a brand new mobile-friendly website for 2023!

Please update your bookmarks (hah!)

Since this month marks the four year anniversary of the release of our epic full-length studio album “Robots and Dinosaurs”, we’re making all our albums available for just FOUR FUCKING DOLLARS!!! It’s a limited time offer unless of course, we forget to switch it back to its regular price, so go and give us your hard-earned money!

This track was sequenced immediately following Bowie’s death in January of 2016. We performed it live with Mike Ackman (Together We Are Robots) at Freq.Fest.5 in downtown LA the following weekend, and then we recorded this version for a chiptune Bowie tribute album which you can buy for a minimum $5 donation to MacMillan Cancer Support, a UK cancer charity.
