captured !
by robots -lrb- version 1 -rrb- is a touring musical comedy troupe with only one human member .
it is part-concert and part-performance act , made up of three robots , two stuffed apes , three `` headless hornsmen '' playing backup brass , and their human , `` jbot '' .
the group is composed of jbot , the human `` slave '' to the robots -lrb- whose intestines hang from his abdomen -rrb- ; drmbot 0110 , a severed doll 's head that plays the drums ; gtrbot666 , who plays bass and guitar ; automatom , the assistant drummer created by robots , the ape which hath no name who plays tambourine halo ; the son of the ape which hath no name , who plays monkey cymbals ; and the headless hornsmen , a full three-piece horn section .
the c!br backstory claims that the human , in an attempt to make his own band , created the robots .
instead of following him , they revolted , pulled out his intestines and eyes , and now force him to travel the world with them , performing music and making him contemplate the inferiority of the human race .
the end of this version 1 of c!br is to happen on aug 8 , 2013 with the close of the `` captured !
by robots is trippin ' balls '' tour .
the v2fu .0 will make its debut in spring of 2014 along with a new documentary and album .
