Plastic Robot Army
Mashing grindkore/digigrind with digital hardkore, Plastic Robot Army befriends and makes alliances with thrash guitars, break beats, drum machines, saves broken synths only to torture them into insane beepage. We have a Commodore 64 that Swedish hackers beat into a synth. And it makes noize. More than you're friend's big ass Korg Triton. POWER TO THE ROBOTS!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
there will be live shows. Protests must occur, break dancing and gyriating must happen.
