Vicente called Sunday night with a weird voice on, and quietly said: "I have information that may change your life plans." Well, my life plans are in disarray right now, anyway, so I had no idea what terrible/scary news he was about to deliver. I gulped, and steadied myself for the worst...
Being a band of robots, I expected electronic music. Which I guess makes me somewhat racially prejudiced against robots...so dear robots, I am sorry I prejudged you and did not expect that you were capable of rocking so hard. Because the first song that they played could only be described as pure, unadulterated thrash metal. I really wish I had written down all the song names, but the two I remember clearly were: "Don't Shake the Baby" - In another episode, Deanna Troi managed to somehow inexplicably impregnate herself by touching a light or something, and she has this weird child that ages at about 35 times the normal human rate. So in mid-set, Deanna Troi-bot immaculately conceived and gave birth to a little baby in a Star Trek uniform....and Jean Luc Prick-hard immediately christened the baby with this song. The chorus went like this: "DON'T SHAKE THE BABY - DON'T SHAKE THE BABY - DON'T SHAKE THE BABY - OR THE BABY WILL BE SHAKEN!!!" And then he'd shake the baby. This whole show was really weird and great. It was pretty surreal because it was partially like seeing a combination of the following: the animatronic band at Chucky Cheese, GWAR, a Star Trek blooper real where they cuss a lot, and Tony Clifton. The main guy is obviously retardedly talented, because I think he conceptualized the whole thing AND built the robots. I was extremely impressed and afraid of him, so definitely an awesome show. |
