CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD "BABOABS IN THE BASEMENT" ON iTUNES! There are four of us. We make music together. Sometimes our songs are about machines and robots. Sometimes they are about outer space. Sometimes they are about getting lost in other dimensions. And then sometimes they are about people who aren’t sure what they’re doing in this one. We know an alien when we see one.
We are a band called Fire Flies.
Hey! We won the Emergenza final in Rothenberg, Germany! Fire Flies came in first place out of 6,000 bands, plus Seth won best drummer, and got to play in front of thousands of people. We came back from Germany with new instruments and new microphones and some serious jetlag. For the full story, click here !
