Kiwi robot band The Trons have been invited to play a gig in Paris  for Mercedes Benz.

The completely robotic band was created by New Zealander Greg Locke.  The band took 8 to 9 months to build, mostly from scavenged parts.

The band is made up of 4 members; Ham, Wiggy, Swamp and Fifi.

Mr. Locke stated:

It’s great to know they won’t get stage fright in front of the Mercedes executives!

The band will play at the 2008 Paris Auto Show as Mercedes Benz unveils a new model.  Watch a video of the band here.
