Biography

With an image as enigmatic as the Residents or Gorillaz, the "story" of electro robo-love creation Wolfgang originated in the early '80s when a robot was built by a video game mastermind named William Jennings Wellworth. The plan was for Wolfgang the robot to write pop music after acquiring an input of the Human League, Soft Cell, Thomas Dolby, Heaven 17, and other '80s new wave artists. The idea failed and Wellworth gave up on the robot. It eventually was found years later in a dumpster in Brooklyn and brought back to life. The Wicked Truth About Loving a Man was released by Hypnote in April 2007. Live appearances from the mysterious Wolfgang have been nonexistent.
