Description
"Everything I do is out of necessity," Jay Vance tells us. He grew frustrated playing with Blue Meanies, then Skankin Pickle, and realized that the only way he was going to have a successful band with longevity is if he no longer played with other humans. So he built his own band called Captured By Robots, where he is the only human member and the rest are robots.Today, Jay tells us about the early days of Blue Meanies (He founded the band!), his year in Skankin Pickle (As their third bassist!), and the weirdest band to ever exist: Captured By Robots. he spills all the details and rants angrily about the evils of the music industry in the process. He also talks about his love for rocksteady, his hatred of ska, the role he may or may not have had in Skankin' Pickle bassist Mike Mattingly getting kicked out of the band, and the many unusual TV appearances Captured By Robots made in its early days. He also says why he will never do America's Got Talent, no matter how many times they invite him. Plus Jay explains what a dildo unicorn is and why he's tripping balls. Support the show
