Captured by Robots!



Speaking of cyborgs, if you haven't already heard of Captured by Robots, you have now.  Go see them!  It's a band consisting of one human and maybe five robots.  The human, "Jay-bot," builds and programs all of the robots and controls them on stage (speaks for them via his mask etc), though as the story goes: he's been captured by robots and they are controlling him.  Either way they're amazing.. if not from a musical standpoint, from a technological one.  Pretty sure he's local bay area, but I first discovered them years ago in SLC where they have a dedicated following - I guess the "stepford wives" there can relate.

This interviewer is kindof a nightmare, but this video gives you a good overview of the band.
