Dan Mangan – Robots
"Robots" was the first single released from Dan Mangan's second full-length release, Nice, Nice, Very Nice, though it had previously been included on the Roboteering EP as well. The flip side was "The Indie Queens Are Waiting." It received some air play in Vancouver and at alternative stations across the country, eventually winning two CBC Radio 3 Bucky Awards for 2009: best song and best vocals.
