The Medic Droid

The Medic Droid was started in 2006 with Chris Donathon (who is openly gay), Hector 3000 and Johnny Droid. Their song "Fer Sure" gained popularity on myspace, and they were noticed by their former manager Avery Andon who brought the band to New York where they played their first live show opening for Enter Shikari at The Bowery Ballroom and caught the eye of A&R's from Epic Records who would later go on to sign the band. The group eventually made two new songs "Keeping Up With The Joneses" and "FScene8", enlisting the help of Australian DJ S3RL to remix these songs. In 2007, Johnny Droid left the band, due to issues with the other members. After a few months, they hired Storm. Storm stuck with them for a few months, and then left the band in early 2008. The Medic Droid was signed to Modern Art Records, a local Phoenix indie label distributed by Epic Records. They wrote and recorded their debut album What's Your Medium? and it was released June 10, 2008. On December 16, 2008 it was officially announced through the band's Myspace that The Medic Droid has broken up. They have toured with A Cursive Memory, Kill Hannah, Innerpartysystem, The White Tie Affair, Breathe Carolina, Karate High School, Hyper Crush, and The Blackout. They have since hired Greg Rudawski for the live drums.
The band was heavily-influenced by popular culture of the 1980's, having taken their name from a character in The Empire Strikes Back, writing a song based on Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade, and even recording a version of the Madonna song Into The Groove.
My favorite song is Fer Sure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZa6BKVMsXQ
