Granted, breakdancing robots are so 2005 (if that). But give us a breakdancing robot wielding a keytar–as seen in this video for Plastilina Mosh’s “Millionaire”–and we’re in. About the band: They’re from Mexico, they used to have a U.S. deal, and, judging by the lyrics, they don’t care for Tony Blair. We can relate to at least one of those three things.

…..I was not allowed to take piano lessons as a kid, thus became a guitar player, because the parental units were not able to prevent me from picking up a Yamaha FG-75 for $60 at a garage-sale. And they were even more helpless against my (pictured in the avatar) modded strat and twin 120 watt heads!
…..I’ve since learned to noodle around a bit on a keyboard, and learned a LOT about patch programming. But I’m no serious player… Keytars are NOT cool. You are NOT a guitarist. Throw it away!
…..If I were a rock keyboardist, I’d want a big surround rack of ivories, in the tradition of Rick Wakeman or Richard Tandy. And, oh God! An actual working Hammond B-3 with the rotating speaker!
Good to see pmosh is getting some recognition in the states. Check out their albums Aquamosh and Hola Chicuelos. Other good bands outta Mexico/Latin America: Zoe, Vaquero, Los Dynamite, Kinky, Babasonicos and Todosantos.
Keytars are just the logical conclusion to the piano key neck tie.
