Maywa Denki’s Robot Band

Writing by Conner Flynn on Sunday, 30 of September , 2007 at 11:53 pm

This has got to be one of the creepiest music videos I have ever seen. I can easily see it brain-washing whole countries, preparing the way for our new metal masters. At the same time it’s hypnotically cool. Be warned, this is a real Earworm. Once you view and listen to this techno-creepiness, you won’t be able to get it out of your head.

The band consists of 3 humans up front and 3 robots in back. Not only do they have a robot guitarist, they also sport a robo-drummer. But the real star of the show would have to be the robot vocalist. Maywa Denki, (the artist) who has created an actual singing robot, thanks to a large mechanical bellows and a computer-controlled rubber vocal chord.

They are sure to be a hit, with lyrics like:

“The love we get used to, it always looks like an empty Panda.” or “Louise Brown: What are you looking at to dance?”. Then there’s my personal favorite, “Surprise hiccups, la cha cha cha”. There was also one about drinking white slime.

Good luck getting that little ditty out of your head now.
