The Trons are a New Zealand self-playing robot band created by the musician Greg Locke based in Hamilton.

During the 1990s,[1] while a member of the New Zealand musical duo The Emersons, Greg Locke toyed with the concept of developing a robotic drummer.

[4][6] The robots are made from a combination of scrap parts and more complex equipment and are controlled via a computer using a "top-secret" software package.

[1][4] Despite being robots, the members of the Trons are often treated as human by fans[1] to the point where Swamp has received date requests.

[9] They have received mostly positive critical acclaim, being described as "pure genius" and as being better than Grammy Award-winning British band Coldplay.
