9:00pmRobber Robber- any combination of classic elements, human interference, or freak accident can trigger disaster - and documenting these precise moments often rests on serendipitous reflexes. On Two Wheels Move the Soul, Robber Robber offer themselves as ignition and capture every sound in the wake. Involuntarily thrust into the throws of rootless nomadism, Robber Robber ringleader Nina Cates collects a series of pressurized vignettes to assemble the Burlington quartet's thrillingly explosive sophomore album. Two Wheels Move the Soul was written and recorded throughout the winter of 2024 and 2025, a season of Cates' life characterized by near-constant upheaval. In January of 2025, Cates (and Robber Robber co-founder) Zack James were displaced from their longtime home at the behest of a landlord's call to have their building demolished. In a moment's notice - and amidst a particularly brutal Vermont winter - Cates and James were left to fend for themselves. Luckily, the two were able to tap a deep well of support within their community, finding respite on the couches of Lily Seabird, Greg Freeman, and Thus Love's Echo Mars. An unused attic provided their longest arrangement.Indie rock · Krautrock$21
