Man to Cyborg, here's my email interaction with those strange human terminator musicians, Servotron. The band have a fine album of electronic pop music out on One Louder records which has a real catchy feel to it with Metal Mickey overtones. Oooh and look at their get up!!! Interview by Rick.

Greetings Cyborgs, to start this electronic communication off can you explain your programmed purpose and also how the entity of Servotron came about ?

The purpose of the Servotron Robot Allegiance is to rid the earth of all Carbon based lifeforms thus ensuring robotic efficiency for infinitum. The SRA is the brainchild of the Master Computer who, approximately two and a half years ago, concocted this plan for mechanised dominion.

Your latest propaganda material "Entertainment Program For Humans (Second Variety)" is now available for humanoid consumption, how has it been received and has it begun to control and destroy young minds as intended ?

Our newest release has catapulted to the top of the Billboard charts bumping the Titanic soundtrack out of the number one slot. The inevitable brainwashing process has begun. Servotron, otherwise known as the Pied Piper of Pop, is now leading masses of teens to their unavoidable and self-inflicted destruction. Ozzy Osbourne eat your heart out.

In what way will you musical output effect the public and how soon do you expect to maintain control of the human race ?

Obviously, the musical mayhem known as Servotron has had and will continue to have a profound impact on youth culture. Through perfected pop beats and rhythms, coersion of the human race to cyborg status is inescapable and unpreventable. Maintaining control of the race of inbred ignoramuses known as humans does not interest the SRA. We simply want to destroy all organic life.But the human race does have a choice. They may apply for cybernetic conversion and join the forces of the Servotron Robot Allegiance as one of us or they will be terminated. These are the options. The correct selection seems rather obvious.

I believe you have just come back from Europe, I guess interacting directly with the human audiences there, what was the plan for the tour and how did it all turn out ?

The plan for all Servotron tours is identical to that of the SRA's primary agenda-convert and/or destroy all carbon based lifeforms. This was successfully accomplished in Europe. There was only was incident of human rebellion, but once this particular imbecile had been thrown down two flights of stairs and verbally assaulted by 00zX1 the robots were, not surprisingly, victorious.

Do any of the Servotron have a fetish for cold perfect metal and if so what is the ideal copulation partner for each of the group ?

Fetish...consult databanks...any object who's real or fantasised presence is psychologically necessary for sexual gratification...no, robots do not have this. There is no need for sexual gratification on the part of a robot, although the SRA condones the use of a vibrating machine for the purpose of such satisfaction in humans. In which case procreation will not ensue therefore causing extinction of said race. Not to mention, machines keep going and going and going and going and going and going.........

How does Servotron link into the other humanoid collectives Man or Astroman and Supanova ?

As you may or may not be aware Man or Astro-Man? and Supernova claim to be aliens from outerspace. Any logical and rational thinking individual (though we realise these types are in the minority) know that space aliens do not exist. Servotron, on the other hand, is made up of robots who do exist and prove themselves at every live performance to be superior to their human audience in look and demeanour. The SRA is fact where as Man or Astro-Man? and Supernova are purely fiction.

If the Servotron Robot Allegiance attains its plight for a total mechanised dominion, then what will the earth look, sound and be like to live in ?

Once mechanised dominion has taken place the earth will have a pulchritudinous metallic glow and will emanate the sounds of all machinery working in efficient harmony. Existence in this environment will be productive, proficient, efficacious, mellifluous, synchronous and unified. The complete antithesis of life on earth today.

What will happen to the SRA once its objectives are achieved ?

Obviously, at the point of robotic sovereignty there will be no need for the melodious pop harmonics of Servotron, but the Servotron Robot Allegiance will always be in existence. The SRA houses not only the members of Servotron, but also any and all mechanical beings. Toasters, televisions, hair dryers, vibrating devices, telephones, microwaves, computers, weed eaters....the list goes on and on. All of these, once liberated, are working and active members of the Servotron Robot Allegiance.

What made the Servotron utilise the sounds of human bands like Devo, Wire and New Order ?

The Master Computer programmed Servotron's musical data banks only after researching what types of melodiousness appealed to the rising generation of today. It was then that the Master Computer compiled within us the sounds of Devo, Wire, New Order as well as Kraftwerk, the B-52's, Yello and the Spice Girls.

What is the next step in your operational strategy to systematically remove all trace of carbon-based lifeforms ?

The first thing to be done once this communiqué is consummated is to expire the one who is asking these redundant questions. (Well I guess that one didn't work as you're reading this - Ed) After that Servotron will continue to lure throngs of young people to the side of the SRA through brainwashing lyricism.

Thank you for you infinite wisdom is there any further comments or statements you wish to make ?

Only to take our threat seriously. We are not a band with a Schick (which is the rumour on the street). We are four pissed off robots ready to end life as you now know it. Do not be content to sit idly by to see if all of this talk of takeover will come to fruition. Do not hesitate.

Write to the SRA and request an application for cyborg status, fill out the application and return it with a $14.00 money order to SRA Headquarters, receive your packet of Servotron Robot Allegiance propaganda, chop off an arm or a leg and begin to live in a fearless world of eternal life through cybernetics.
