Retard-O-Bot

In 1999 the Electropunk band Retard-O-Bot formed in Tampa, Florida as music to accompany a series of cartoons, it was basically ridiculous synthesizer music with a drum machine to handle the beats. Their live shows consisted of them starting every show in full, cardboard box robot suits.
After SB, Johnny left the band, uneasy with the direction it was heading, and pursued other projects. Peter took charge of the band and pushed forward as hard as possible. Benny Normal joined the band to play live keytar. Over the years they became phenomenally successful, they toured with The Genitorturers, Screaming Mechanical Brain, Mindless Self Indulgence, and Psychostick, to name a few. In 2009 Retard-O-Bot was disbanded after lead singer Peter Pepper went on to create a solo project. The sound is similar to Retard-O-Bot with more pop and industrial elements.
