The Trons are a completely self playing robotic junk band! They're made mostly from old computer and mechanical parts and play original songs using an array of old amps and instruments. They've been piling through the gigs... Hamilton... Queenstown.. Paris.. mosh pits.. fast cars... robot groupies... There's some recent gig pictures here and plenty more in the pics section too. Touring is a bit mad but all goes together well and there's cameras on all of the instruments now so even if there is a bit of a crowd the action is still easy to see. There's probably an albums worth of stuff and they're working at it to get more recordings and vids done.. no doubt will happen soon. If you want to chat or book a gig (big or small) send a message via this myspace or email gigs@thetrons.co.nz

I am so sorry that I can not be at your concert, for I am in England till May 23rd, and I already have got a ticket for an event on May 24th in Hamburg... I would have loved to see you live in Hamburg,the town where I work, which is only 30 km away from my home..... I wish you great success though, Inge
