The Trons

About Me

The Trons are a completely self playing robotic junk band! They're made mostly from old computer and mechanical parts and play original songs using an array of old amps and instruments. They've been piling through the gigs... Hamilton... Queenstown.. Paris.. mosh pits.. fast cars... robot groupies... There's some recent gig pictures here and plenty more in the pics section too. Touring is a bit mad but all goes together well and there's cameras on all of the instruments now so even if there is a bit of a crowd the action is still easy to see. There's probably an albums worth of stuff and they're working at it to get more recordings and vids done.. no doubt will happen soon.
