Bio: A punk rock singer and PhD candidate at Harvard, in a hardcore band that happens to be an IBM ThinkPad, with an innovative record that will make you think as you dance!

When Dave Rand's final band broke up in 2004, he sat down to write alone with his laptop, and walked away with one of the most interesting and genre-bending projects to be saved to a hard drive. It's punk rock and it's all electronic - synthesized sounds take the place of Marshall amps and guitar racks. Rand delivers the same intense, high-stakes show that he always has, complete with jumps, kicks, sweatbands, and mic tosses. The only difference is that now he performs alone on stage with a laptop and a microphone. Audiences who haven't experienced Rand's format are initially stunned. “The most common comment I get is 'I've never seen or heard anyone do anything like this,' " followed by, "You’ve got a lotta guts to do what you do." Looks of astonishment turn to respect quickly at Robot Goes Here shows. See for yourself!
