the Trons - self playing robot band

New Zealand garage robot band http://www.thetrons.com practicing in the lounge. The band are made from old junk and discarded electronics and are controlled by a 15 year old computer salvaged from a vending machine. All songs are original and the instruments standard except for a few drill holes and some motors. They have played heaps of live gigs in New Zealand and also ventured to Europe twice for some shows there.

They've just released their first album! and it's a combined CD and DVD, 10 tracks on the CD and 8 music videos on the DVD including live footage. Check it out on bandcamp at http://thetrons.bandcamp.com, or songs also available for download on iTunes

I actually think we can work together. Like Captured! By Robots. Go check them out. They have a human member.

And for totally autonomous robot musicians, check out The Three Sirens.

Totally cool. It's not as if robots are replacing humans, not yet. It takes a lot of time to program robots like asimo (for example) to even walk around. So until robots decide to pick up guitars and form bands by themselves I'm not gonna worry.

If they have a good sound like the band in the video then I say let them replace humans, we may end up learning from them.

Sounds like E.T.
