Now that the principle photography is finished for their new film, "Karate Film Café", the Gorillas are on tour again with their award-winning feature film, The Mind of Henry Lime. (They'll be editing Karate Film Café while they tour.)  The Mind of Henry Lime  won the "Best Comedy Feature" award at the SMTV Film Festival in Bombay, and was an "Official Selection" of both the Arhus Film Festival in Denmark and the Portabello Festival in London.  The End of The Pier Film Fest in the UK gave Henry Lime a "Special Commendation" in the "Best Feature Film" category. Henry Lime  and their 1st film, Sister Sarah's Sky, were both written and directed by Michael Glover and produced by Robyn Rosenkrantz - with music by Bright Blue Gorilla of course!

BBG has released 11 CDs and has been touring all over the world - with hardly a pause - since 1990.  They've shared the stage and screen with artists such as Lily Thomlin, Alec Baldwin, Suzanne Vega, Toni Collette, Loudon Wainwright, Buck Henry, Matthew Broderick and many many others.  (You can see BBG in the film "The Last Shot" with Alec Baldwin and Matthew Broderick.  A Disney/Touchstone Pictures Release.)

It all started in 1990, when Robyn & Michael quit their L.A. jobs, sold everything they had (except their guitars), and bought one-way tickets to Europe. They’ve been living a life of music and adventure ever since.

What can you expect at a Bright Blue Gorilla show? Beautiful vocal harmonies, lots of laughs, songs to inspire the soul, stories and comedy improvisation. BBG uses acoustic guitars, mini guitar, electric bass, bongos, mystical drum, harmonica, flute, and the world-famous DRUM-FEET!

>>> In the film, A Mighty Wind, watch for Robyn during the concert finale.

>>> In the film, It's All About Love, by Danish Director, Thomas Vinterberg, Robyn and Michael's voices replace several of the actors voices. The actors in question were from Europe and had accents that the director didn't think sounded American enough.

>>> On the TV show, Enterprise, Michael is an alien - a "Tranon" to be exact.

>>> On the TV show, The O.C., Michael played "a parole officer who looks like Lou Reed."

>>> On the TV show, Boston Legal, Michael played the judge in the Michael Jackson trial who quits the case to become a Phil Spector look-alike. (No kidding.)

>>> You can see the gorillas in TV commercials for Dairy Queen, Stanley Tools, the Academy Awards, Nokia phones, Disney Channel, and the German sit-com Alles Atze.

>>> Robyn's India Photos appear in the coffee table book "Photo Crafts," published by Lark Books.

>>> Their voice characterizations are on the Microsoft game, Mech Warrior, and on various Disney Channel promos, commercials, etc.
