Captured! by Robots
Captured! by Robots, a MusicAL troupe with only one human member, specializes in loud, hard-hitting musical numbers. It is a lively performance act made up of three robots, two stuffed apes, three "headless hornsmen" playing backup, and their human, "JBOT".
The group is comprised of JBOT, the human "slave" to the robots (whose intestines hang from his abdomen); DRMBOT 0110, a severed doll's head that handles the drums; GTRBOT666, who plays the bass and guitar; AUTOMATOM, the assistant drummer created by robots, The Ape Which Hath No Name who plays tambourine halo; and The Son of the Ape Which Hath No Name, who plays Monkey Cymbals; Headless Hornsmen, who are a full 3 piece horn section.
The C!BR backstory claims that the human, in an attempt to create his own band, created the robots. Instead of following him, they revolted, pulled out his intestines and eyes, and now force him to travel the world with them, performing music and making him contemplate the inferiority of the human race.
The human, JBOT, is played by Jay Vance, a former bassist for ska bands Blue Meanies and Skankin' Pickle. He most notably played on the Blue Meanies' album "Kiss Your [...] Goodbye."
