Armed with musicianship, intelligence, and an ingrained sense of rebellion, Flobots are looking to engage a new musical culture, one mind at a time.
I was awoken at about 5am the other morning to the words "I can ride my bike with no handlebars, with no handlebars"
As soon as the video ended, I typed Flobots into my centro's memo, because I had to know who the hell these people were.
peep the Handlebars video below:
When you enter their site or their myspace you'll find the members looking like bandits, their faces hidden with the American flag.
Flobots.com tells us:
When a pair of intelligent, visionary emcees joins forces with a battle-hardened, groove-fusing rhythm section, a classically trained violist, and a jazz trumpet player, the result is a sound that explores and expands the frontiers of live hip-hop.
These Denvor, Colorado natives have taken progessive music to a whole nother level. At only 3 years old they have sold out their current Summer tour, always sell out in Denver, & their first recording sold over 3000 copies!
The vocals are outstanding, the lyrics are raw and captivating, the music is undeniable.
We are witnessing a new spin on hip hop & it sounds beautiful. And naw they don't just have one hit...listen to their myspace music for yourself, myspace.com/flobots
Brer Rabbit, Jonny 5, ANDY ROK, Mackenzie Roberts, Kenny O, & Jesse Walker create Flobots. They are using their music to help people help our world. They have a non profit organization, Flobots.org that is working towards changes in our communities. They do charity work and are looking for people to join their street team. Flobots is what we need right now. Not just musically, not just lyrically, but socially as well.
Put ya hands up! For Flobots!
