It’s hard to have a blog called “Rock The Machines” and not mention it when Captured! By Robots plays a gig in your back yard (well, not literally in my back yard, though that would have been cool.)

JBOT, the reluctant but obedient leader/servant of the seminal Bay Area “one-man-plus-angry-robots” band played the last show of his 43-city tour at Benders Bar this weekend.

I  have fond memories of CBR playing the Bottom of the Hill many years ago.  The robots have evolved over time, but still seem to be plenty angry- and just as determined rock their creepy, humanoid faces off.  Pulling off a live one-man show like this takes a lot of effort, planning & ingenuity.
