Captured by Robots

Since 1996, Captured by Robots has been weirding-out audiences across the country with its odd lineup: one man and five real robots. The band returns to Mac’s Bar on May 8. Captured by Robots is a manic San Francisco-based outfit led by JBOT (the human), who builds and programs his robot backing musicians to play horns, guitars and percussion. The band has been on over 10 national tours, warming up stages for Public Enemy, Motörhead and Flock of Seagulls. Each tour has a different theme; this time around it’s a psychedelic experience titled: “C!BR is Trippin´ Balls.” The news release promises to take attendees to “a place where up is down” and “Vietnamese sandwiches dance with rabbits.”

Wed., May 8, Mac’s Bar, 2700 E. Michigan Ave., Lansing, all ages. $15, $12 adv., 7 p.m.
