The Fun House Robots

About Me


The Funhouse Robots are a HYPER ENTERTAINING ROCK N ROLL PUNK band. They can perform to suit any crowd, from playing their own original songs to 70s glam rock and punk classic covers, along with several truly unique and disturbingly inspirational covers. The Funhouse Robots play short (most of the time), catchy rock n roll punk songs, about a world of sci-fi glam. Any deep meaning to their lyrics is entirely accidental. Their secret is not to ruin a good song by trampling it to death with their egos. Performances are exhausting for the band, but exhilarating for the audience! Well, worth going to see at the least. Their biggest accolade is being the band that other bands want to be (or at least that’s what they tell them)! A bit of history; the band rose as the phoenix from the ashes and embers of Fantastics, a quite similar rock n roll space punk band who played in the Birmingham area a few years ago. Mark (vocals and guitar) and George (bass) spent several years attempting to form a new band after the demise of Fantastics, before finally putting up a scrap of paper towards the end of 2006 in a local studio requesting musicians. They had toyed with the idea of putting a request on the web, but wisely realised this would only delay their efforts by at least another couple of years. They soon had a response from Chris the drummer. Very fortuitously, Chris knew all of The Fun House Robots’ material, as they would be playing the same stuff that Fantastics used to play, and Chris was Fantastics old drummer. With the players in place, let the performances begin.
