    Ever hear of the Flobots? They do some awesome political hip-hop. I hate most mainstream rap and hip-hop. But they are not mainstream and its unlike any other hip hop artist I've ever heard... its awesome.

    The Flobots are AWESOME. They are from the town I live in. 100% one of the most important and talented and intelligent up and coming bands. They are very progressive and give back to the community in so many ways. They play free shows at the Library(how cool is that?), they hold voter registration drives, and they stand up for good causes.

    I've seen them twice and will see them many more times. The live show is amazing. No, they are not Marshall Mathers. There are two MC's, and a full band with a viola. Crazy.

    If I hear the song Handlebars one more time, I'll go on a rampage.

    I saw them a couple weeks ago in Santa Barbara and really liked them. The violinist really sets them apart.

    ahimsa-The Flobots are not from Ventura. I know that for sure because I'm in Ventura. Where are you really?

    The FloBots are from Denver. We got a three night run at New Years (warning on these: the shows are cookie cutter down to stage prattle).

    that violinist is actually a Violist

    But they're from Denver and I'm from Denver so I love them twice as much just because of that
