Description
FLOBOTS with special guest KINETIX
Show Date: 2009-11-25
When a pair of intelligent, visionary emcees joins forces with a battle-hardened, groove-fusing rhythm section and a classically trained violist the result is a sound that explores and expands the frontiers of live hip-hop. Progressive in both style and message, the band’s ability to drop from symphonic rock-infused crescendos into stripped-down string-laden breakbeats has earned Flobots a reputation for both originality and authenticity.
After selling over 3000 copies of their first recording, Platypus (October 2005), the band released its first full-length record, Fight With Tools (October 2007). Representing a year’s worth of writing and recording, the record is a fire-breathing rallying cry for all free-thinking individuals fed-up with the violence and apathy that have thus far defined the new millennium. The record debuted at #1 on Twist and Shout’s best seller list.
Flobots connected with audiences and quickly reached a tipping point to became one of Denver’s most influential bands. They regularly sell out Colorado venues and are developing followings across the country.
The strength of these records and a relentless performing schedule has enabled the band to open for acts like Rage Against the Machine, Matisyahu, Public Enemy, The Coup, Lyrics Born, and Immortal Technique. Even Multi-platinum recording artist The Fray took notice, inviting the band to open the last night of their North American Tour at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
Armed with musicianship, intelligence, and an ingrained sense of rebellion, Flobots are looking to engage a new musical culture, one mind at a time
