Los Angeles artist Robert Delong ~ a “2013 MTV Artist to Watch” ~ will be bringing his engaging sound and vision to Cambridge on Tuesday, February 12 at TT The Bears. The singer, songwriter, producer, programmer and drummer is gearing up for the February 5 release of his debut album, Just Movement, for Glassnote Records, featuring the breakout single “Global Concepts.” The video for the song recently made its debut across various MTV channels including AMTV, MTV Hits, mtvU, and MTV.com.

“Global Concepts” is currently building a major fanbase thanks to radio stations across the country and strong play on SiriusXM’s Alt Nation.
A one-man futuristic dance party with beats as cerebral as Orbital and club-ready as Calvin Harris, Delong is also an exceptionally gifted singer/songwriter who raises questions about identity and spirituality. These two elements join together on Just Movement, a dazzling collection of dance beats, pop hooks and thought-provoking queries that could very well be the soundtrack for 2013. Delong is the perfect artist to bring electronic dance music to Glassnote, home to Mumford & Sons, Two Door Cinema Club, Phoenix and more.
Raised in the suburbs of Seattle, Delong headed south to Los Angeles with a toolbox of Wii-motes, keyboards and drums to develop a live rock show that CMJ Magazine claims worthy of “…an 8-bit warrior, seamlessly creating danceable electro beats with his Wii Remote and Sega Genesis controller on par with the Chemical Brothers.” Delong began performing his genre-bending songs in 2010. He uses MIDI interfaces, a full drum set, drum pads, keyboards, laptops and game controllers, looping his music live to fuse electronic dance beats with striking melodies and lyrics with emotional heart.
