Ten In Twenty

The Fanged Robot

The Fanged Robot is Robby Cosenza. Cosenza was known as a drummer first and foremost, touring the US, Europe and Canada for several decades The Fanged Robot began as an outlet for material not suited to Cosenza’s previous projects, including The Scourge Of The Sea, Tarbox Ramblers and These United States.

Cosenza described The Fanged Robot as “Golden slop-pop rock n roll, I think.” Spanning over two decades, the band played hundreds of live shows in basements, barns and bars as a rotating cast of some fifty local and regional artists, including members of The Beatings, Nine Pound Hammer, Sunday Valley, and Vandaveer, to name a few.

TEN BANDS

Ten in Twenty: A Lexington Recording Project showcases new works from our Kentucky city's diverse music community. In 2018-19, we present a second round of all-new music and video. Ten groups of established artists each collaborate on one original track with producer Duane Lundy (Ringo Starr/Horse Feathers/Ben Sollee/Jim James/Dawn Landes).

TWENTY DAYS

Each group or solo artist records at Shangri-la Studios, focusing on a single piece of music over two days' time. As the artists experiment with musical arrangements and explore modern and vintage sound techniques, Lundy works across the ten songs to create a continuous record. The organic process affirms each group's distinctive songwriting and musical roots, and at the same time paints a broader creative landscape.

ONE PLACE

Once a month, Ten in Twenty releases a single audio track and music video from the Shangri-la sessions. The collection of recordings will provide a rich sample of the varied influences and styles of modern songwriters in the heart of the Bluegrass state. You can stream our productions on YouTube and Bandcamp, and purchase a limited-edition vinyl album from Round One.
