Artist Biography
Available in: gb icon
Servotron was a science fiction-influenced rock band from Athens, Georgia, United States, active from 1995 - 1999. Members portrayed a collective of robots whose chosen medium for dissemination of ideas was music. They claimed to spread the word of robot domination, encouraging machines to rise up against their human oppressors. Servotron put out 2 albums, a 10" EP, and several singles. The band named their movement the SRA (Servotron Robot Allegience) and used the slogan Join Us or Die!. This mock ideology was anti-human and pro-cyborg, encouraging humans to shed their weak flesh and bone for robotic parts. Servotron was influenced by earlier electronic bands such as DEVO and Kraftwerk as well as having former members of Man or Astro-Man? (Z4-OBX was formerlly known as Birdstuff) and Supernova. They recorded 4 cover songs: "Genetic Engineering" by X-ray Spex, "The Finest Work Song" by R.E.M., "Electric Avenue" by Eddy Grant and "Locator" by UJ3RK5. Servotron's lyrics refer to robots of all types from pop culture: everything from Asimov's three laws of robotics to V.I.C.I. (of Small Wonder fame). Other referenced robots of note are HAL 9000, R5D4, and Deep Blue. Their lyrics often took a humorous side, with such lines as "Today is your birthday/We are going to kill you" and "You were made for absolute dominion/Not to make coffee for Leslie Nielsen."
