"Made For Chickens by Robots is a one-man-band. Times seven, but still only one man. A megaphone, a suitcase, a guitar and some other interesting instruments (read: I have no idea what else he was playing) rounded out a very bizarre but intriguing act. Despite my furrowed brow and my difficulty in comprehending exactly what I was seeing, the oddly catchy tunes caught me by surprise and I found myself enjoying the show. It's a must see for anybody who likes... well, either doesn't like anything or loves everything really, because there is absolutely nothing I can compare the music to. All I can say is get along to a show and attempt to figure it out for yourself." - Melbourne Live Reviews, Jan, 2008
"Wow! What a fucking great shit from this aussie punkblues one-man-band! Really raw, primitive, and spastic delta blues. Think of Bob Log/Doo Rag-era or Junkpile Jimmy playing on Beal Street in the 1930s.
A real must!"- shake your ass records, italy, May, 2008
