Bzots (01/10/05) Bzots are the #1 band of escaped robots in the entire world. We are three huge robots that escaped from a factory to follow our dreams of playing electronic music for kids.

Bobby Mac (09/22/04) Skinny (My friend Skinny) was born in the summer of 2002 when my 4 year old nephew introduced me to Skinny. He was 18 and in grade 3, tall as a pine tree, wild and free.
