Captured by Robots also did this, but his look like humanoid robots and have conversations with the singer which are part of the act. The type of music isn't for everybody (or most people). But if you're musically open I'd recommend checking out one of his shows if he's in town. It's an entertaining performance.

I was gonna say the same, I went to DePaul music school with Jay before he was...assimilated. He may not have been the very first to have a virtuoso robot band, but he probably isn't far from it.
IMHO, Captured by Robots is great because it isn't just bots playing instruments, it's a full-on theatrical performance. At least that's what it was when I saw it like a decade ago.
+1 to the GWAR of robot bands
