to create an animated music video for the song "Infinite Frontier". In February 2009 The Phenomenauts lineup changed again, with JoeBot 2.0 and Captain Chreehos leaving. Two new members took their place: Leftenant AR-7 on guitar and vocals, and Deck Chief Nick Wayzar playing bass. Electric Sheep (2010) In 2010 The Phenomenauts released the digital-only mini-album Electric Sheep, containing four new songs. The album featured AR7's first songwriting and singing with the band. The band departed on their second European tour, "Operation: Europe!", to promote the album after release. Between Electric Sheep and their next album the band changed bass players.

The band went on their third European tour at the end of 2014 to promote the album, playing in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland. In 2015 Ripley Clipse joined the band playing keyboard, taking over from Professor Arius. Starting in 2015 the Escape Velocity
