Similar to the robots in Tony Starks super lab, Deadmau5 is employing a new breed of onstage performers. Mau5bot numbers 2035A and 1610A made there debut performance last night during Deadmau5’s residency show at Hakkasan in Las Vegas. The social media buzz indicated the bots were a huge success and much appreciated by fans and artists alike. Tommy Lee had some great footage that you can catch below.
The two bots are absolutely massive, standing up right at 12 feet tall and weighing in at 2000 pounds. On Deadmau5’s twitter feed he even describes Mau5bot 1610A as being the more shy of the two bots. It really isn’t that surprising the two Mau5bots already have identified personality types. It is DeadMau5 after all. These bots may be a good indicator of what is to come in the realm of onstage performance, as he does hint at “the future”. Although, at 2000 pounds, it could be awhile before every artist is lugging them from venue to venue. Maybe just a club thing for now. 
The Progression
And you wondered what we’ve been up to. http://t.co/m3yDnBqxb9

You really get the idea of how big they are in these two videos posted by Tommy Lee
Looks like the massive mou5 from fievel goes west!
this is what you get when someone gets paid 450,000 for 1 night of performance, I would spend the money on visual toys for the crowd too.

I go to shows to see humans perform, not necessarily robots.

EDC did a unique visual performance sunday night that centered around their own animatronic robots http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq4ob35m4ZY&feature=youtu.be.
Robots taking over EDM 🙂
meh, i wouldn’t compliment his dollar value THAT much.
lmfao where’d you get them figures? Dependant of a few things. ie. size of the venue, night of a week the show is on, what city you live in. Probably looking at 15-25k for each show and festivals such as EDC and UMF he makes anywhere around 100k
Fuck ! whatever, that show was so fucking amazing, he mixed so fucking good his own songs, was incredible night ar hakkasan
I was there, and it was amazing. Enough said.
