LUXX 256 Grand St., Williamsburg (718-599-1000) -- Oct. 17:
Captured! By Robots, a very odd one-man, multi-cyborg band from San Francisco. The one man goes by the name JBOT, and he built his fellow band members, GTRBOT666 and DRMBOT0110, because, he says, he couldn't get along with other people. Unfortunately, the robots got the better of him and installed a biocerebral chip in JBOT's brain, and now he is their slave, or so the story goes. On stage the robots humiliate their human band member, and the resulting music is a grinding metal-influenced onslaught of sophomoric references and rock and roll. In other words, devilish fun.
