Flobots Release new album!
The Flobots spent the release day of their new album SURVIVAL STORY in their own community and local record store! The band also pushed it’s “buy local” message across the country by offering many independent record stores and exclusive poster that was available when fans purchased at local shops.
FOX 31 has a great story about the Flobots new album release and in store performance at home in Denver.
DENVER – It’s as if there is something in the water in Denver that keeps pumping new bands out. From the Fray, to 3OH!3, to the FlobotsÂ… they just keep on coming.
“And the nice thing about it is we all know each other and support each other,” said Flobots MC Brer Rabbit.
“When the Fray allowed us to open for them at Red Rocks when they played the venue for three nights in a row, that was huge!”
It wasn’t long after that gig that the Flobots, made up of all Denver Public School graduates, began hitting it big. From Leno to Letterman, the group has been rocking it out across the country.
“We just have a unique sound, from Viola to rhythm section to the MC leads who bring hip-hop to the table. We just like to use our varied talents to make wonderful sounds,” said MC Jonny 5.
The band’s new CD, “Survival Story,” follows their first release, “Fight with Tools.”
For their CD release party Tuesday, the Flobots chose Twist n Shout on Colfax, a long-time friend of local musicians.
