Captured! By Robots - A Musical/Mechanical Marvel?

Duke Boo Boo of Ouch writes: "Last night, I ventured out to the local tavern to catch musical acts Mini Band, and more importantly Captured! By Robots. This act is comprised of one human and seven fully functioning musical robots, which play guitar, bass, horns, drums, and percussion. To ensure the full effect, this must be witnessed live, but there are some videos to spark your curiousity." If you've seen one of these shows, please share your thoughts on the experience.

    I knew robots would one day replace humans in jobs, but THIS? I mean, artists are ALREADY so desperate that the RIAA has to sue 12-year-old girls without having to compete with ROBOTS too!

    I wish I had a robotic woman to blow my horn.

    I guess I couldn't take her into the shower though :-(

    I'm waiting for Crow, Tom Servo, R2D2 and Bender to form a robot Supergroup, The Shiny Metal Ass Experience. THAT I'll go see. I mean, how do we know if any of the robots here are any good if we haven't seen them in previous groups or solo projects? (Not to mention Alan Parsons Projects.)
