The two formed the legendary group “Automatom & Jerry” in 6848, and passed virtually unknown for the greater part of their career, working street corners. For years, they played songs denouncing war for any passerby who would consider a donation, before finally hitting it big with their first outing, “Hey Skin-Job”, an upbeat number that, according to Cylon, was written to bring attention to the plight of transorganics, synthetic beings who, owing to a defect in their logic circuits, had had their chassis and interface devices specially fitted to resemble human bodies. As a young Centurion in the Cylon fleet, Cylon was quoted in a later interview, many such “trannies” had come to confide in him, their superior officer, their deepest worries and insecurities.

  • The two formed the legendary group “Automatom & Jerry” in 6848, and passed virtually unknown for the greater part of their career, working street corners. For years, they played songs denouncing war for any passerby who would consider a donation, before finally hitting it big with their first outing, “Hey Skin-Job”, an upbeat number that, according to Cylon, was written to bring attention to the plight of transorganics, synthetic beings who, owing to a defect in their logic circuits, had had their chassis and interface devices specially fitted to resemble human bodies. As a young Centurion in the Cylon fleet, Cylon was quoted in a later interview, many such “trannies” had come to confide in him, their superior officer, their deepest worries and insecurities. After decades of inactivity, a brief period of them being lost in long-term storage, and with this recording success behind them,“Automatom and Jerry” felt comfortable enough to officially change their stage name to the current and more familiar “Cylon & Garfunkel”, a daring move considering the state of Human-Cylon relations in the Colonies was tenuous at best, and such highly taboo human-android pairings were often subject to petulant, if not entirely violent, persecution. Thusly rebranded, the duo was once more space-catapulted from obscurity in 7248, backed by their hit feel-good single, "The Sound of Idling":
