The Bots @ The Independent 4/7/2015

The Independent was still filling up at The Preatures show when the supporting act, The Bots, took the stage on Tuesday night.

Brothers Anaiah and Mikaiah Lei started The Bots in 2007 and last summer the boys hit the festival circuit in a big way, playing at Coachella, Outside Lands, Bonnaroo, Summer Sonic, Afropunk Fest and Riot Riot Fest!

Now after all of that overwhelming exposure and the release of their debut full length album, Pink Palms last October the two young brothers are back at it! 














Currently on the road with The Preatures, lead singer/guitarist Mikaiah Lei greeted show goers at The Independent and introduced himself and his younger brother Anaiah on drums as they humbly got situated on stage.  With an experimental soul sound flush with punk and garage rock undertones, their spirited performance popped with a youthful energy.

Mikaiah was all over the stage between verses and more people began dancing and cheering the band on the crowd warmed up to them. There was definitely an energized feel as The Bots flaunted their talents while delivering a positively stimulating set!
