FLOBOTS Performing at Lincoln Hall in Chicago 11/28

Band are completing new album for 2010 release on Universal Republic - tentatively titled “Survival Story” - addresses climate change and asks “Who will turn the tide?”

FLOBOTS will be previewing material for their next album - tentatively titled “Survival Story” - on a 26 show Fall ‘09 tour that takes them across country from San Diego to Boston and back, including the “We The People Fest” in Los Angeles on November 21st. While the band have been focused on finishing their record, they have also managed to contribute time and performances to a number of non-profit benefits recently, including Concerts For Kids, and Somaly Mam Foundation.  They also recently performed for members of the Energy Action Coalition at Michigan Powershift, and will be partnering with the nationwide network throughout their fall tour to help urge the Obama administration to take swift action on climate change.

FLOBOTS are finishing their follow up to Fight With Tools at Blasting Room studios in Ft. Collins, CO with Mario Caldato Jr (Beastie Boys, One Day as a Lion) producing and mixing. Currently slated for an early 2010 release - guest artists include Tim McIlrath of Rise Against on the track “White Flag Warrior” and ”Infatuation” with Matt Morris of Tennman Records. Other titles include "Airplane Mode”, "The Effect", "By The Time You Get This message...", "Cracks in the Surface" and "Good Soldier".

A six piece collective from Denver, FLOBOTS blend songs of social justice with a playful disdain for anything status quo. Formed in 2005, FLOBOTS ‘good-fight’ mythology can be traced to Denver’s underground and creative community when various members enlivened each others’ gigs and creative events, setting the charge that would eventually power up the band’s rock/rap pedigree, and activist edge with a positive message.

FLOBOTS proved to be one of the most compelling hip hop groups to sign with a major label last year. Their Fight With Tools album sold 330,000 copies, and the “Handlebars” single became a massive hit that permeated Alternative Radio and Top 40, with 1.3 million digital sales.

FLOBOTS have appeared on NBC’s “Jay Leno”, “Conan O Brien” and “Carson Daly”, and were featured in the pages of Rolling Stone, USA Today, and countless other media. The Los Angeles Times called Fight With Tools a “a focused flip-book of progressive-leaning issues,” while the Ft Worth Star-Telegram offered “…think the earthy grooves of A Tribe Called Quest fused with Lupe Fiasco’s conscious, cutting flow. Add a passion for activism — first founded as a "cohesive alternative organism" in 2005, the group has set up a nonprofit Web site (http://www.flobots.org) that connects fans to "social change" organizations — to a rapid rise in the music biz, and you’ve got the makings of a fresh, young band that’s anything but ordinary.”
