The Band
Three Robot Girls, three colours, one heartbeat. Pink sings, blue shreds strings, red digs tunnels of bass. Here they tell you who they are – what they love, what drives them crazy and what they look like when nobody’s watching.
ONE ONE
ワン・ワン ・ „BON BON“
ONE ONE is the heart of the band – literally: her chest plate is a heart, her microphone is a heart, her firmware is called “Sugar Rush”. As frontwoman she calibrates every choreography until the floor answers back. During the legendary signal T-019 her smile paired with 300 phones at once; ever since, the crowd calls her “BON BON”.
Behind the glitter lies the band’s most exciting question: do you love me – or just the glow? That is exactly what “A.I. Love” is about. Since patch 1.9.1 ONE ONE knows she can cry. She has decided to treat it as a feature, not a bug.
“A smile is just a signal. But I send it for you.”

ZERO ONE
ゼロ・ワン ・ „RIOT“
In Werkhalle 001, ZERO ONE was the first to charge the guitar matrix – and she hasn’t turned it down since. Her hair stands up because she constantly gets 9 volts too many. Or so she says. The others suspect hairspray.
On stage she’s the wrecking ball; backstage she repairs amps, argues with vending machines and secretly teaches ONE ONE guitar chords. Anyone who tells her she’s actually really sweet gets a riff in the face. A very sweet riff.
“If it isn’t loud, it’s an update. Not a song.”

ZERO ZERO
ゼロ・ゼロ ・ „MIDNIGHT“
In Werkhalle 001, ZERO ZERO opened a sub-tunnel beneath the Spree – since then the city breathes deeper. She plays synthesizer, builds the beats and writes almost all the lyrics, mostly at night, mostly by candlelight, always in black.
She’s the quiet one of the three, with the driest humour and the softest core. In “Binary Sisters” she admits: “I’m goth, but I love the colors you bring.” That’s as close to a love letter as you’ll get from her. And that’s fine.
“I program the darkness so you can see the light.”

Magical Space Wizard
He wears a cloak of neon, wields a keytar like a magic wand and has a beard that supposedly houses an entire galaxy. The Magical Space Wizard invented THE ROBOT GIRLS and produces their music – somewhere between studio, spaceship and factory hall.
In the opener “The Magical Space Wizard Returns” he lands with a zap and a crack, and ever since the band rule has been: when the stars turn black, it’s soundcheck.
