Austin’s ArcAttack eliminated from ‘America’s Got Talent’
ArcAttack, the electrically-charged Austin band that performs with large Tesla coils, was eliminated from NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” Wednesday night. Taking the loss in stride, the act responded by posting the following on its Facebook page:
Due to the stress of our loss on America’s got Talent tonight, we have decided to sell the band on eBay.
we will throw in our zombie for an extra 6k.
The actual eBay listing reads:
“Due to the devastating emotional stress of loosing on the television program ” America’s Got Talent”, we have decided it is in our best interest to sell our band to someone else on eBay. We can no longer carry the burden or our defeats and embarrassments, and this is, for anyone who would be interested, in all honesty a STEAL!!!!!
Comes complete with all our homebuilt gear, coffee stained crayon instruction manuals and subsequent coffee maker, an Open Labs Miko, the rights to the name, our broken school bus, our debts, a 1990 ford probe (not running but sweet) various electronic components, phone numbers, Joe’s beard, a big red couch, John’s monogrammed bathrobe (for the ladies) and a lifetime membership to strength beyond fitness in Paw Paw Michigan and all subsidiaries.
Serious offers only!!!
So far the auction, pictured above, has attracted no bids.
The loss resulted in a flurry of postings on ArcAttack’s Facebook page, many of the “you got robbed” variety.
What do you think? Did ArcAttack get robbed? When in Las Vegas, would you rather watch rockers wielding lightning or the child ballroom dancers who survived the elimination round? Sound off in the comments below.

I think it's stupid they got voted off. What's wrong with you America? Why can't you see talent? The ONLY reason I watched the show was to see Arc Attack's performance. Forget child ballroom dancing. Arc Attack got ripped off by this show.

Prince Poppycock is my personal favorite to win. I think ArcAttack was a great act with great showmanship. HOWEVER, what turned me totally off was the female zombie who didn't know how to turn off during the interview portion. Her "character" felt extremely contrived and unfortunately, it really took away from the actual performance. She annoyed me soooo much that I refused to give one vote to the team. Honestly, I can't be the only one who felt that way... otherwise, why would the kiddie ballroom dancers succeeded them?!?! SORRY GUYS!

I think ArcAttack is definitely one of the top 10 acts on this years AGT line-up, but I'm suspecious that the producers munipulated the votes so that ArcAttack was eliminated. Their performances had to be done on a special stage built outdoors. Whether manipulated or not, taking ArcAttack on the nationwide road tour would have been more costly and dangerous for the AGT producers. I hope ArcAttack gets their own Vegas show anyway. I'd pay to see it, and there they could build a special stage just for them.

I'd much rather see ArcAttack. Child ballroom dancers are just boring and there are already too many vocalist acts in Vegas.
