The Trons: self-playing robot band totally kills our self-esteem

We'll admit, we reckoned we were coming along alright with our bar chords, but now we're teetering on the edge of just giving up. Yeah, we've seen robotic mechanisms programmed to make meaningful sounds before, but The Trons are a bona fide band, man. We hear they're going on tour as well -- talk about a guaranteed sell out. Totally killer Sister Robot video after the jump.

That's pretty good! Maybe now we can get rid of talentless hacks frequently called pop stars and leave room for real musicians (no, I'm not claiming to be one... couldn't if I tried).

Current limitations include plucking the strings (hardest problem), 'sliding' the guitar strings, and brush strokes on the drums and cymbals, but I think these shouldn't be too hard to overcome since they've managed this much so far. Fun!
