Spontaneous Animation (2012)
Giant Robot Dance brings you the next generation of contra dancing: traditional music artfully woven together with pop songs, infused with a rock sensibility throughout. From silly to sublime to downright ROCKING, Giant Robot Dance does it all!
"Spontaneous Animation" is our first full-length album, released July 2012. Recorded live at "Contrastock I" in Washington DC in 2011, and at "Summer Soirée" in Asheville NC in 2012, it features many of our favorite new sets, includes covers of songs by Katy Perry, Elton John, U2, Tchaikovsky and others. Unlike our previous album, "Live at the Butterball", there is no caller's voice in this one; it's an hour of pure musical spontaneity and unexpected twists.
- Recorded by:
- Jamie Platt ("Contrastock I", Glen Echo MD, May 2011)
- and by:
- Mountain Sound Services ("Summer Soirée", Asheville NC, June 2012)

Live at the Butterball (2010)
Featuring calling by Beth Molaro
This album was recorded live at the Butterball, in Philadelphia, on Nov 27, 2009, and has been reformatted to fit your screen. It's about as close to a Giant Robot Dance event as you can get without being there. But really, you should be there. How could you miss dancing along with Optimus Prime, Wall-E and R2D2?
- Recorded by:
- Terry Mutchler
- Edited and Produced by:
