ROBOT BAND WANT TO RECORD AN ALBUM

The band was built by Frank Barnes, Markus Kolb and Stock Plum and has gone on to play shows around the world, including through Europe and North America, and at Australia’s own Big Day Out festival in 2013.

 

A Kickstarter page has been launched to help build a lead vocalist and record an original album, with €290,000 the goal that has been set. The high number due to the cost of initially building a new robot and programming it to sing, and then hiring studio recording equipment to record in their own den, as recording in a studio wouldn’t be possible.

 

The rewards for backing at different prices range from an exclusive track for backers only and access to a web app, all the way up to a “bionic neural implant” which is redeemable in the year 2115. It’s clarified that this is a joke reward and that the €7000 pledge is an investment in the future of the band.

 

In a future where robots are a part of everyday life, I’d much rather them making music than being dominating overlords out of a dystopian sci-fi movie, so I think this is a project well worth supporting.

 

 

 

 

To help a few little robots realise their dream and make it to the big time, pledge some money to their Kickstarter campaign.
