Band Members:
"'KISS' OF THE CASIO WORLD!"
- C.P.A.S.M.
"A FREE FOR ALL IN A LATE NIGHT GODZILLA MOVIE!"
- Joe Corroney
Ishiro Automatron AKA "Auto": bass guitar, vocals, pilot.
Auto is convinced that he is invisible and that nobody can see him. Drove a Taxi once. Thinks he can fly anything like TC from Magnum P.I.
Maximilian De Kill AKA "Max": keyboards, vocals, aerial recon and attack.
Max is an airborne attack unit... an aspect complicated by the fact that he cannot fly. Discontinued after multiple crashes. Likes to drink "alcohol & oil" and can be found passed-out on an asteroid outside the Circle-K's of Altair-6.
Stroboticus Maximus AKA "Strobo": lead vocals, lead guitar, strategist.
Strobo is walking radio tower. Acts as the communication hub for the robot armies as they go into battle. Unfortunately due to a glitch in his programming he can only broadcast reruns of I love Lucy.
Dr. Robert H. Troganstein AKA "Trog": drums, beserker.
Trog is a berserker robot. Built by the Third Robot Empire as a front line combat unit. Trog operates more on instinct rather than intellect. When Trog goes into action you may never know what side he's on. Then again neither does he.
Trog received an honorary doctorate from the City College of Bethesda Maryland for his heart rending reading of Tolstoy's Anna Karenina.
DRUNK DIAL MESSENGER CENTER: leave the robots a drunken message and donate a little part of your intoxication to the galaxy... don't worry, it won't cost you anything. Except your dignity.
Background information: after attempting to make a beer run in a stolen imperial battle-foot , the Killer Robots (Trog, Strobo, Auto and Max) collide with a piece of space debris and crash land on earth. Forced to wait over a hundred years for an essential part, the four get part time jobs and start a rock band to pay the bills.
"Total Destruction Tour 2008" is the Killer Robots 4th year of live tours, chock full of songs & battles, asparagus creatures, rock lobsters, sexy alien girls, the infamous Zeta Blaster, giant motor gods, and the omnipresent King of the Moon. To fully understand and comprehend the Killer Robots and the "Total Destruction Tour ", intoxication is recommended.
The Killer Robots span over a comic book series, cartoon, tv show, movie, a band and live tour. For more information check out their website at www.killerrobots.tv .
