Led by vocalist and performance artist Jack Daniel, the Broken Robots' fully improvised shows have been stretching the minds and spines of audiences for over a decade. From SF to NYC to the moon, the search for the profound in the profane, mundane, and insane continues. Punk jazz rock and whatever comes next--with inspirations from Zappa, Waits, David Byrne, Andy Kaufman, and the Buddha.
