What can you say about Illbotz? These guys are a mess.

The 'botz — Big Perm and Stevie D — are playing the Green Dolphin Grille Friday night with The Lobsters and Violent Spectator. This week, they sat down in the IO studio/hovel to discuss their shared histories at hired assassins, Perm's friendship with Prince, and Illbotz formation on the mean streets of Watts, Neb. Sadly, none of it was true, and your host even took to lying. The three together made producer Seth Gitner so nervous that he had to chop up the 'cast, leaving the song order a little out of sync. But check out a couple of the band's clips on The List to hear more of their music.

Revel in what is left of the interview and some of the wacky rappers' music.
