Flobots.org | Activating Change

This is what I’ve been waiting for my whole life. Let’s get active and engage the masses for meaningful change. I can’t believe what you guys have done and I want to be a part of this revolution that is desperately needing to happen. Idealists do not need to be discouraged and turned into cynics! One person, led by the mighty Flobots, can make a difference!

I’ve been watching you guys for a few months. Irconicaly enough the first time I heard you was while I was in jail. You have no idea how much we all love you in there!!! I wish I could have put in my vote for your ultimate win….but I don’t think KTCL takes collect calls.

Your music has inspired me and helped me now improve and move on with my life in a way that will not only make my life better but hopes of one day influincing others to make the choices for us all to live in a much better more JUST world!!

Thanks again for all you do and can’t wait to hear and see more!!!

As a budding philosopher, I cannot forget Nietszche’s suggestion that art is the highest metaphysical pursuit of man.

As an aspiring artist, I cannot but believe that music can foment, unify, and greatly further philantrophic processes.

As a young, ignorant, and still optimistic social activist, I look forward to watching your street team develop.

I heard of you guys through my friend clare and i think that your band and what it’s doing its good so just give me the signal like you said in that sign up thing.

+ theres way to many homeless people where i live and i want to fix that.

I have recently been hearing your songs on a Chicago Radio Station. You were doing some shows there. I live in Michigan and did not get a chance to come out. I hope you all make it back. I love your style and that your songs have meaning to them. You are going to blow up big time, so I am sure I will get the chance to see you. Being an Unemployed 26 year old male who cant find a teaching job has been stressful. You Music gives me some motivation.
Thank you

hey you … music is great… your message is even better.. its not about one person it is about this younger genoration realizing that there needs to be change… you have really opened my eyes..change is goin to happen wheather people want it to or not… you need to come to the east coast…

I WISH MORE PEOPLE CAN SEE WAT FLOBOTS IS ALL ABOUT
AND I`LL DO MY BEST 2 FIGHT 4 OUR FREEDOM

why must we wait to cough to want to clean the air.
why do we wait for gas to get to $10 before we want a hybrid.
why do we wait for blood and war before we look for peace.
why do we wait for a child to die before we decide its time to get off our lazy asses and reach a hand out to our neighbor and give out of our surplus instead of wasting our money on rims and navigators anr $200 hundred dollar jordans and watches that are worth more than most peoples houses.

because that is what we’re taught as americans.
keep the rich rich.
we now have a musical and vocal outlet. make it happen.

the flobots are more then just a band. there the first step and the guiding light of our new generation which is taking control. things are changing and the trend must continue. i urge anyone who reads this to get involved in your communitys. if everyone takes a small step we can jump start the world. be the change u wish to see. use your tools to fight for what u beleive in, and in the words of the mighty flobots,if your thinking you are wining, defeat is impossable.

I was at your show in Springfield and I’ve got to say, you guys are AWESOME!! I love the music and I love the message. It really inspired me, and seeing your nataional tv debut on Carson just fueled the fire. You’ve got a lot of people behind you, and we’re ready for change!

Amazing show at Summerfest last night. I caught on to you guys while I was out at school in Denver, but I never thought I’d see you on the summerfest bill this summer. To say the least I was excited to see you guys getting some midwest exposure and the show was unbelievable. Keep it up, whether or not everyone understands the message of your music at first, you’ll move people to educate themselves about the activists and ideas in your music. Its refreshing to hear a group as ecclectic and educated as the sound and message you bring.

I was just introduced to your music a few months ago. I’ve always been interested by how music influences all cultures, brings cultures together and inspires individuals. You have an amazing sound and a great message.

The first time I heard Handlebars I felt like I had purpose in the world. I’ve always felt it deep down inside of me, but when I heard the song it woke up with a new fire. I’m looking at how my actions can effect others now with more respect because of how your song effected me. I am taking a book I’ve been working on more seriously and how in some small ways I can change the world in my own way. I want to get involved in The Street team here in Denver.

I just want to say I’m proud to be going to East High School because of how many great people have come out of it. I’m going to live up to those people and be the change I have wanted to see. Keep up the great work, Flobots.

Me and my partner saw the clip for handlebars late one night last week on our music channel and were transfixed from the first notes. Frankly, I normally don’t like your kind of music. I love the lyrics and the message but the music wouldn’t normally be my cup of tea. But you have the kind of music that spans genres. It’s so beautiful that your just immediately hooked. I love you guys.
I know that you probably have plenty of stuff to do in the states, but is there any chance you’ll make it down to New Zealand? Pretty please?

There isn’t much left to say that hasn’t been said. You are giving thoughts and emotions that people have been feeling globally a voice. I can’t thank you enough for injecting a message in to a generation that has the chance to make or break the future of this country.

AS a single mother of 6, all of whom are involved musically (my basement is THE place for the band(s) to practice, I hear a lot of music. I’m 53 and I haven’t been moved by music in a long time. Your message inspires me to continue fighting and my ears appreciates the quality of the musical construction. I look forward to seeing you at the 9:30 Club in Washington DC.

I love you guys. Espicially seeing as how your from Denver, are in the Colorado msuic scene, and are making people open thier eyes and thier minds. Come to the Spings sonn!

I first heard “Handlebars” and was intrigued by your group, so I went searching for more of your music. After listening to “Stand Up”, “Rise”, and “Fight With Tools”, I am happy to say that you’ve found a new fan in the Great White North. Finally, the medium has a message, one worth carrying. Congratulations and keep up the amazing work - I hope to see you on this side of the 49th Parallel!
Cheers

great mix, music, classicly inspired violin, violia(which ever)… the words by themselfs were just words, u guys turned them into music and sumthing great

Handlebars is an amazing commentary on (I am assuming) the Bush Administration, though it also defies such simple categorization (its applicability is broader). I have not been so affected by a song in a long time; the fact that you have deeply touched (and unnerved) a 42 year old mother of 6 living in the suburbs is a testament to the power of this music. Americans should all recognize the deep hole we have dug and the scope, depth and banality of the evil being perpetrated in our names throughout the world. It is encouraging to see at least some folks standing up and taking action.
