Since [[Kraftwerk (Music)|Kraftwerk]] began presenting themselves as robots circa 1978, a number of electronic bands have adopted robot or spaceman alter egos.
 
Compare [[Kayfabe Music]], the [[Super-Trope]].
{{examples|Examples of artists with robot or spaceman alter egos:}}
 
* [[Daft Punk (Music)|Daft Punk]]: Since 2001, although they claim they were transformed into robots in a [[Freak Lab Accident]] on 9/9/1999.
* [[Kraftwerk (Music)|Kraftwerk]]: Duh. Especially since they use synthetic vocals extensively, any vocals performed by a person try to sound like they're synthetic, and many of their live shows actually do involve robots controlled through midi software to play backup; the four robots have molded replicas of the real men's heads.
* [http://www.lesrockets.com/ Rockets].
* [[Moog Cookbook]]: These guys even had names for their alter egos: "Uli Nomi" for Brian Kehew and "Meco Eno" for Roger Manning Jr.
