Giant Robot has always attracted unique artists and individuals, and on Thursday April 22, from 6 to 8 pm we have a great event lined up. Los Caballos Du Düsseldorf, also known as LCDD and numerous other aliases are a pair of circuit bending fanzine making musicians originating from Spain. In their own words, they "play in odd venues for strange events", using instruments made from recycled circuits from toys that they call doorags, in honor of Doo Rag, the band that inspired them to start making music. LDDC is also an open band, meaning anyone willing to play the doorags and perform is free to do it using the LDDC name. They have even provided instructions online for how to make your own doorags and play as your version of LDCC. In addition to this, they also make a fanzine, Que Suerte, which they will have available for sale. So this is a sort of musical performance event and signing that the public is open to participate in. It's going to be VERY cool. Here are some links to properly psyche yourselves up:
