Technology is taking over the world, it's in our pockets, in front of our eyes, covering our ears and is glued to our fingertips. I-pods, apples, blackberries and kiwis have become the fruits of technology. I always thought it might be cool to have some sort of robot that cooks and cleans for you while you get the important stuff done but the people in Germany have thought of something better.
Imagine Travis Barker with 4 hands and Jimmy Hendrix with 78 fingers accompanied by the best bass in the world. Unless medical studies found some crazy way to mutate to mutate us, bands like this could never be human. So what exactly am I going on about.
I introduce to you Compressorhead. The robotic trio - Bassist "Bones", guitarist "Fingers" and drummer "Stickboy" are the world's first Robo Rock n roll band. They are capable of producing live music that humans cannot even begin to imagine playing themselves. These metal heads show extreme precision and jaw dropping skill.
The band has their own fan page where they are portrayed with realistic punk personalities. Their online gig requirements are a "Competent and sober audio operator" and "Microphones and other audio equipment to suit bitching 3-piece metal act." They've covered songs by all the greats such as ACDC, The Ramones, Black Sabath and have many more in store for the world. Not only do they cover the songs but they also improve upon them. The only criticism I have is that it lacks soulful vocals that give the songs emotion but then again what can you expect from a robot without a heart.
Despite the lack of humanity, the band is actually pretty impressive and the technology is super advanced. I think they might be able to even produce a couple of Kwaicore songs in the near future as they have a hardcore influence. Maybe one day we'll see them on South African stages, come to think of it how much does a metal gig this heavy charge for entrance? I might bring along my kettle and my iron, they don't get out much.
