About Captured! By Robots
Captured! by Robots is a touring group with only one human member. It is part-concert and part-performance act, made up of two robots and their human, "JBOT".
The group is comprised of JBOT, the human "slave" to the robots (whose intestines hang from his abdomen), DRMBOT 0110, a severed doll's head that plays the drums, and GTRBOT666, who plays bass and guitar. Former members were AUTOMATOM, the assistant drummer created by robots, The Ape Which Hath No Name who played tambourine halo, The Son of the Ape Which Hath No Name, who played Monkey Cymbals, and the Headless Hornsmen, a full three-piece horn section.
The fictional C!BR backstory claims that the human, in an attempt to make his own band, created the robots. Instead of following him, they revolted, pulled out his intestines and eyes, and now force him to travel the world with them, performing music and making him contemplate the inferiority of the human race.
The human, JBOT, is portrayed by actor/musician Jay Vance, a former bassist for ska bands Blue Meanies and Skankin' Pickle. He most notable for having played on the Blue Meanies' album "Kiss Your Ass Goodbye."
The band has released 3 studio albums:
- Captured! By Robots (2001)
- The Ten Commandments (2005)
- Endless Circle of Bullshit (2017)
