The Trons are a robot garage band. The band has no human members, with all instruments being played by robots built from junk and salvaged materials. The songs are original and the band tours and gigs like a normal human band, except for needing to be carried everywhere!

The instruments are standard human ones: guitars, drums and keyboards, with robot limbs and fingers attached. The heart of the band is a twenty year old computer found at the dump, which has been reprogrammed to feed the song information to the machines.

The Trons first fired up in 2008, their youtube videos quickly shooting to over a million views. Requests came in to play around the world and four years later The Trons have done hundreds of shows, toured Europe twice, and have released the first album played by robots.
