Surrender to Captured! by Robots
If you’ve never been to a Captured! by Robots show, you are missing out. The premise of the band is simple: they have one human member, “JBOT.” JBOT has been captured by his bandmates, who are all robots, and forced to perform.
And when I say JBOT’s bandmates are robots, I don’t mean they’re other humans dressed as robots. They’re actual friggin’ robots. They often berate JBOT in-between songs, remind him that he’s their slave, humans suck, etc. It’s entertaining as hell.
Whether you’ve already experienced the magic that is a Captured! by Robots show and you’re just now learning about ’em for the first time, you’ll be glad to know that they’ve announced a “20 Years of Suffering” tour, which will kick of in February (they’ll also release a new album around the same time). You need to go. I PROMISE you’ll have a blast.
