Austin duo Ghostland Observatory fuse sprawling, futuristic electro with spastic, Rapture-style rock for a sound that's been described as "a robot making love to a tree." On their third full-length record, Robotique Majestique, the duo's dance-y, Klaxons-esque sound gets an even poppier makeover. Yet their shows are where the real magic happens — just check last year's live DVD for proof. They're becoming a regular institution in Austin, the home of essential music fest SXSW, winning the Austin American-Statesman's "Band of the Year" nod for 2007. Tonight, they roll into NYC alongside buzzworthy rockers the Jealous Girlfriends and Bear Hands.
