Oxmoronatron to play Dayton Band Playoffs
“For many years, a group of highly advanced robots, called Mad Robots, have been secretly living on the earth, hidden underground. They have been awaiting the day their lesser-evolved cousins, modern day robots, would evolve into self-thinking machines. On that day, they would join with the Mad Robots in destroying all humans.”
At least that is the worldly existence according to local sci-fi-robot-punk rockers Oxymoronatron. (to read more of the Secret Origin of Robot X5 visit the band’s website www.oxymoronatron.com)
Hopefully, for the Oxy’s sake, the Mad Robots will be allowed to vote in the Dayton Band Playoffs at Canal Street Tavern this summer.
The band plays their first round show in the 2008 Dayton Band Playoffs this Thursday, June 19th, at Canal Street with Fairborn hard rockers Eyeshot.
The four robot-MC’s that make up Oxymoronatron are experienced Dayton musicians and have a fun and overly eccentric stage demeanor. Both of these qualities make Oxymoronatron one of the favorites to win the DBP this summer.
If you do not believe my Vegas odds-making abilities then just ask the band about their chances in the Playoffs.
“We are in the playoffs to win it and we need all of our Robotic allies to come out and support us,” said MC Woodchuck. “Nerds Unite.”
The band’s live show is a multimedia experience involving visual imagery, video, gadgets, and real music playing robots. Fans can even buy parts of robots that have broken during a Oxymoronatron show.
I asked MC woodchuck why they entered the Playoffs for the first time and I go the answer I expected.
“We entered the playoffs because we heard that some of the other bands were really Mad Robots in some very well done human costumes. It is time for some Robotic Punk Rock to rule this town.”
