The Bastards of Fate

FROM CAPTURED! BY ROBOTS WEBSITE:

So what's the deal with C!BR?? Let me (DRMBOT 0110) tell you. JBOT played in a couple of ska bands, Skankin' Pickle and the Blue Meanies for years and was very unlikable. Everybody got sick of him (I don't blame them). JBOT thought that if he made a band of robots to play with everythin...g would be okay. HE WAS WRONG! He built GTRBOT666 and myself and the idiotic Ape Which Hath No Name. After he built us, I decided that he was the antibot and must be punished. We installed a Biocerebral Chip in his CPU and now force him to humiliate himself in front of his peers. It makes me so happy to see him suffer. So after the takeover, he secretly made the Ape. The stupid ape robot loves everyone and everything; HOW REVOLTING! Unfortunately, I cannot do anything to rid my circuits of that ape. For it states in the ROBOTIC RESISTANCE handbook, "Thee bot shall never harm another bot." So what choice do I have? The rare joy I can receive is when GTRBOT666 and myself humiliate JBOT all over the country. The other happiness I have is to see my self-replication "AUTOMATOM" humiliate jbutt to tears. You will come to witness! Coast to coast, his humiliation will be legendary. Keep checking in for updates. These bots have done a lot! C!BR has been through a lot since the human JBOT's capture back in 1996. We have taken the human on ten national tours and have been received as one would expect. The term "Holy shit" seems to be the most commom expletive uttered. Do you not believe? Oh, you will! C!BR has played with Public Enemy and Flock Of Seaguls (at G-Phoria video Game award show in LA), Motorhead, Servotron, Man...or Astroman and many more. C!BR has been featured on UPN's "Strange Universe" and on the discovery channel's "Beyond Bizarre", Tech TV, ABC 7 6 oclock news, and more.. We have also humiliated JBOT at the Art Institute of San Francisco and at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco. C!BR has had articles in The New York Times, Spin Magazine (June 2001), The New Yorker Magazine (see press illustration),Gene Simmons Tongue Magazine (PREMIER ISSUE!!!!!) Rocktober (where we were voted the .1 robot rock band), Bikini Magazine, Heeb Magazine, Churn, and many more...........................................................................................................

Toby Goodshank Bio:

The soft-spoken, enigmatic Goodshank made his high-profile debut playing acoustic guitar in The Moldy Peaches (Rough Trade Records, now featured on the Ju...no Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Rhino Records, #1 album on the Billboard Top 200). Once that band began its indefinite hiatus, Goodshank kicked his solo career into overdrive, pumping out albums the way some men pump out semen, touring Europe twice with the likes of Jeffrey Lewis (Rough Trade) and fellow Moldy Peach Kimya Dawson (K Records). In a relatively short amount of time, Toby Goodshank has become a crucial voice in the underground NYC music scene, with unconventional song-structures and surreal lyrics supported by an uncommonly professional approach to his performative craft.

Recent albums like "Pray to You" (2008) and his new untitled effort (2009) find Goodshank synthesizing his history of sonic moods into a seamless blend of chunky guitars, crystal-clear vocals, fringe sexuality, and a rotating cast of Anti-Folk comrades.

CMJ's Douglas Wok says, ³Major Matt Mason's songs are absolutely charming.²

Uncut magazine has described MMM's music as possessing: "...witty social observation, a hangdog stare and no-frills production that sounds like gas bubbling from leaky pipes."

Zeitgeist calls it "Beautifully and brutally possessed with a kind of raw honesty, uneasy listening at its best."

Drownd in Sound says, "The man's got it. Bottle whatever 'it' is, and the world'd be a better place.²
