Robots With Rayguns was born in 2008, when Lucas Patrick Smith (Gravemachine) combined his love for Synthpop, New Wave, and modern Electro, and turned it into an outlet for producing catchy, hook-driven pop tracks. After the commercial release of Gravemachine's 'Prosper Park', Lucas took a hiatus from the dark, industrial soundscape to focus on his other musical passion - dancefloor-worthy electropop inspired by the analougue synthpop he grew up listening to. 2009 was spent honing his production skills by remixing the likes of Yaz, Michael Jackson, Daft Punk, and Fear of Tigers. RWR started getting blog notice for his remixes of popular artists such as Nightwaves, Chromeo, Lady Gaga, and Lily Allen. The first original song, 'Tracy Freeland' was offered up as a free download. The instrumental track was based on Evan Rachel Wood's naive and self-destructive character in the movie 'Thirteen'. Then, Robots with Rayguns started making waves with the hit single, 'Sugarbaby'. The video for the track made its rounds on various music blogs, and was featured in a promotional video for the globally popular ASOS Magazine. In fall of 2010, Robots With Rayguns released the first full-length album, "Electro Isn't Dead" for free download via the Soundcloud Media networking site. Now 21, Lucas has relocated from his hometown of Baltimore to Phoenix, AZ, and is working on a new album of original material.
