Biography
The Satanic Puppeteer Orchestra is a collaboration between the mad scientist Professor B. Miller and his robot, SPO-20.
After spending many disgruntled years in the music industry, Professor B. Miller decided to strike out on his own. Before too long, he got lonely so he built himself a robot. With the Professor not being much of a crooner, and the robot not being much of a musician, it was decided that the robot would be better off singing and the Professor would handle all of the sounds.
The two have been making music together for more than a decade. After finding a modest amount of success in the 1990s via the internet, the duo locked themselves up in the laboratory in hopes of completing their masterpiece. The culmination of their efforts, a debut four CD box set, will be released in the very near future.
The SPO isn't currently playing any live shows while they focus on wrapping up the box set. Look for them to hit the stage once again towards the end of 2007.
