BABY BABY play fun-rock. They’ve played it at Riotfest, Made In America, Afropunk, The Warped Tour, and for Red Bull’s 30 Days in LA. They’ve toured with Run The Jewels, Fishbone, Black Lips, and others since their formation in late 2009. Started by singer/guitarist Fontez Brooks and drummer Grant Wallace, the band now features Colin “CowCow” Boddy and Hsiang-Ming “New Guy” Wen.”
They release their third LP, titled Semifamous, on September 16 and to celebrate the band is premiering two videos, for “Krew Love PT II” and “Jeez” with Ghettoblaster today. Below are Brooks’ thoughts on the endeavor:
“Partying is an art. And like art, its complexities encompass all aspects of life. Every soirée needs a soundtrack and that’s what we’ve provided. ‘Krew Love’ and ‘Jeez’ are the yin and yang to the party. ‘Krew Love’ is that perfect moment when life is good. When you’re partying with the people you love and you’re like 92% sure you’re going to get laid tonight, while ‘Jeez’ is 3 hours after that when you’re throwing chairs screaming ‘IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT?! HUH?! YOU WANTED CRAZY GUY?! WELL HERE HE IS!!!!’ In other words ‘Krew Love’ is Happy Drunk and ‘Jeez’ is sad drunk. When sad drunk takes control there’s that moment where you should just give up and go home, but what if you don’t? You’re agitated, sad, and so wasted; your emotions come pouring out of you in the most extreme way. Imagine having an outer body experience as you ruin your life and yet you can’t stop yourself. So when it came time to brainstorm video ideas for ‘Jeez’ we realized we already shot the video. Parties are awesome because getting drunk acts as a veil, hiding your deepest insecurities. Until the veil hardens creating a self-inflicted tomb. Then you’re just the drunk guy at the party laughing and crying at the same time. Decorating your deathbed.”
