Edit history

Penelope Brain is a Space Rocker who traveled back in time to share his experiences with the world. After arriving on present-day Earth, he moved around the world for many years. Brain was born a human in the mid-1970s, but began replacing much of his biology with microchips, wires and circuits at the age of thirty. Many years later, he had effectively completed the transition from man to machine. He lived for many centuries and witnessed a terrible history emerge. Saddened and broken by what he had seen, he travelled back in time to both document this future history and warn humans of their impending doom. Brain used music as a vessel for his warnings, transmitting his heart-wrenching and desperate tales from a small, badly damaged ship orbiting the Earth. His melancholy songs are therefore usually about outer space, broken robots, and the cataclysmic future wars between man and machines. His sound is reminiscent of the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, Grandaddy and, perhaps, Wilco.
