The Moseley three piece write songs based on their mutual love of science fiction and punk rock but insist that seeing them live is the best way to experience The Funhouse Robots.

"We're introduced by a special guest - St. Elvis!" said vocalist Mark on BBC WM Introducing.

"Our gigs are good fun. We play loud and fast. They're very participatory. You get a mix of our own songs with some covers with our own particular interpretation. We also introduce a lot of 70s glam rock and punk."
