What is Captured! By Robots, you say??? Captured! by Robots is a touring musical comedy troupe with only one human member. It is part-concert and part-performance act, made up of three robots, two stuffed apes, three “headless hornsmen” playing backup brass, and their human, “JBOT”. I know this sounds completely strange and unusual, and it is! Check out this video from a previous concert of theirs, this is something that you cannot miss! Captured! By Robots will be playing live at Otto’s Nightclub on Wednesday October 20th w/ The Super 8 Bit Bros, ‘Richardson’ Richardson and Egon’s Unicat!
