The Trance Formers

- Phoenix's Newest Big Band -

About Me

Ian is a very lonely, insane, scientist obsessed with music and robots. He could not find humans capable of playing the music he likes so he decided to build a robot, named Aaron. Sadly, Ian is a crappy programmer and Aaron has many flaws, due to Ian's lazyness. And well... Ian's flaw is that he is lazy. Anyways, you end up with a disfunctional band called The TranceFormers who are attempting to create a world where robots and humans can live together in harmony, which may not be possible. The concept is to combine German Techno, and Overdriven Blues Guitar. So pretty much Raw Emotion V.S. Calculated Computer Noises. Will it work? I fucking hope so!
