Rock-afire Explosion

The Rock-afire Explosion was the robot band that performed at Showbiz Pizza during the 1980s. I remember them from birthday parties held at Showbiz Pizza when I was growing up in New York. Apparently the company that made them still programs them and they started releasing videos to Youtube...here's a Nine Inch Nails performance. It's bizarre...

  1. I ran a place for 2 years that had these.
    They scare the hell out of me, still.
    and the mechanic that was sent from the company to maintain them, was a one eye crazy man with a plate in his head....which did not help
