Is This All-Robot Band Better Than the Beatles?

Sep 17, 2010 04:33 PM

Will the bot band be to 2017 what the boy band was to 1997? You be the judge! In the videos below, two such groups offer electro-mechanical renditions of the B-52s' "Rock Lobster" and Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." 

Creator James Cochrane writes, "What do you get when you combine retro computer parts and an up and coming robot band? The Bit-52s! This idea has been simmering in my mind for the last couple of years and after many months of procrastinating it is finally complete. I was also motivated to finish my robot band after seeing a [video of] 'The Trons' from New Zealand."

Queen once sang, "When machines take over/It ain't no place for rock and roll." Agree? Disagree? Weigh in below.
