Captured By Robots does this
It's a band comprised of one guy and several robots, started because he tired of the shortcomings of human bandmates. However, the robots give him just as much (if not more) trouble.
He has a guitarist that has two necks on his guitar, one for bass and one for lead. Here they are. -
This guy has an entire robot band!
Just one instrument? "J-Bot" has and entire band with horns, guitars, and drums all controlled by robots. http://www.capturedbyrobots.com/

Re:What is the issue?
I have personally paid multiple times to see robotic musicians.

Captured by Robots
Here's another band along the same theme, been around for some time. Caught them on their last tour: http://www.capturedbyrobots.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zvU165DEYc. Great stage show, interesting theme.

I've seen this before...
Captured by robots has a whole band of robots that play their own instruments.

Captured by Robots!
Yup, the lucky few who are not enslaved will be paraded around as lounge singers, etc., and enjoy an at least modest lifestyle. It has already begun

Re:determinism finally!
Then you could set it up with little hammers to hit the strings, and make rolled up punch cards to store the data on.
You haven't met Gtrbot? -
Re:Might this help the long tail?
CD changing robots.
why not just have the robots play the music in the first place? -

Re:SPARKY!!!
DRMBOT 0110, GTRBOT666 and AUTOMATOM agree with you.. The Ape Which Hath No Name and The Son of The Ape Which Hath No Name still love you. The Headless Hornsmen simply don't have all that much to say on the issue.

Captured by Robots
GIT has come up with a cool product, but they aren't the first. Captured by Robots is a complete robotic eight peice band (complete with horn section). This vocalist is the only human on stage. He has not only built his entire thrash metal band, but created a back story that the robots have taken him hostage to play or be tortured.

Captured! By Robots
Captured! By Robots' Guitarbot has been doing this for years in a slightly less sophisticated way (think drop-D grunge vs. Steve Vai or something). But Guitarbot gets extra points for also playing bass.

Captured By Robots
That's nothing. This guy created an entire band out of robots. They sound pretty good too. http://www.capturedbyrobots.com/
-
That's the first thing I thought too!
http://www.capturedbyrobots.com/
Captured by Robots has been around for many years now... I saw them at a rock show at least 5yrs ago (DRMBOT freaked me the heck out...I think I had nightmares for the next two nights!). At least GTRBOT66 looks like a robot. The schoolies machine doesn't leave much of the guitar exposed...it might as well not be there... -
Big Deal...

Captured!
by Robots. Doesn't this guy already do that?

How about an entire band of robots? Seriously!
There is a band called Captured by Robots, which is made of one human man, and I think eight robots -- who not only play guitar AND bass in one robot (GTRBOT666), but the drums (DRMBOT 0110), horns (the headless hornsmen), and back-up percussion (AUTOMATOM).
The robots play pre-sequenced music, as the man runs around singing and generally being crazy. He also rigged a voice-modifying microphone set-up into his outfit which lets him speak as the various robots, which are all completely automated to move, and even lip-synch.
I had the pleasure to watch this "band" live during their "The Ten Commandments" tour.
They are not as pretty as this guitar playing bot, but I think they are 123% more rad/awes-gnar-some!

CAPTURED BY ROBOTS!
http://www.capturedbyrobots.com/gtrbot.htm
GTRBOT666 has been doing this for years. -
Captured! by RobotsGTRBOT666 has been playing guitar and bass since at least 2000. And it rocks way more than anything a tech school could produce.
For real, too. This is actually part of a hardcore band made entirely of robots (plus one guy).

How about a WHOLE BAND: Captured by Robots
I'm all for their work, but I think "Captured by Robots" is a fair bit beyond this. I had a chance to see "them" at the University of Houston a couple of years ago, it was a great experience (and quite funny as well).

Late to the game
This guy is way ahead of them. He's had a guitar-playing robot in his band for years.

hmmm?

an alternative
I prefer musical robots with an edge.

Captured! By Robots
Will Captured! By Robots ever get into Gilliard?
-
I take it no-one else knows...

These guys are way behind
I saw a band called Captured by Robots that includes two drum-playing robots, a robot that plays a double-necked guitar, and various and sundry other automated musical instruments.
Puts on quite a show with 'em, too. -
Re:can you say...
HEADLESS HORNSMEN
No more questions or comments about musical robots until you check all the links on capturedbyrobots.com, kk? -
But will your bot be as cool as
DRMBOT0110 !!!!

Re:Credit and collections
No. I'd be more worried about this bunch showing up at my doorstep.

Re:Obligatory"I for one welcome our new Robot Musician Overlords."
From what I can make out from the voices in the crowd in this video, it would appear you're the ONLY one who welcomes them.

captured by robots (of the musical variety)
There's a band called Captured by Robots that's pretty cool. The guy built a bunch of robots (i.e. the 12 string autoharp named "GTRBOT666") for his bandmates as he "didn't get along with the human variety" very well.
The music is eh, but the show itself is rad.
These are some pictures of the robots themselves: http://www.chromatic-fantasy.com/2002-05-04-captur ed-by-robots/index.html
(Yes, the robots actually play music.. )

Captured! By Robots!
Captured By Robots is this amazing one-man performance with one of the most intricate rigs I've ever seen. He's really impressive to see live, and I recommend checking his tour/shows page especially if you're on the West Coast. At least one regular slashdot poster has taken his
/. handle from the guy's act (The Ape With No Name), or I'm assuming that's where it's from. s
