made it out to EARL in the East ATL to see captured by robots after practice last night at p.galvin’s suggestion and damn glad i did. this is one amazing gig by some little nerd who plays mean metal guitar and has constructed fully functioning “robot” bandmates out of pistons and levers and gears and other home depot/junkyard debris. drmbot stole my heart: a vicious little punk rock mannequin drum queen with wild pink hair and a ferocious attitude. while it definitely follows the similar schtick of devo and “man or astroman?”, CBR is worlds apart and ahead in its devotion of raw smarts and technology to the robot revolution. he’s also funnier, see “Doggie Deer”, a song he wrote upon observing a dog sniffing the crotch of a dead deer. gotta love those sick laugs. –b.sinister
