Live Reviews / News Live review: Captured by Robots!

Captured by Robots!
The Milestone

The Deal: I first discovered Captured by Robots! a couple of years back and was absolutely astounded by the entire spectacle. A combination of my two loves: robots and music, along with satirical commentary between human and machine. Holy crap, I fell in love. “JBOT” had been a musician for years, previously in the band Skankin' Pickle. After getting fed up with having to rely on non-dedicated, drug-using humans in 1996, he got the idea to build himself robot musicians that he could program to play his music. Thus, he started from scratch, not knowing a thing about how to make a robot, and miraculously created his band.
He claims the solitude on tour isn't so bad. However, sleep is certainly taken for granted in a robot band. But you don't have to worry about getting dreaded “loft boners” when you are surrounded by robots. The only real downfall is the lack of extra hands for breakdown, as well as driving, not to mention appreciation from his band members (robots have no souls). When I talked to him after the show it took him what seemed like hours to breakdown the bots and he had food poisoning to boot but had to tough it out regardless. Talk about dedication.
