[edit] General information

Formerly the Baobabs, Fire Flies met and formed in the music department at SUNY Purchase. The group describes itself as a blend of David Bowie and The Flaming Lips with a hint of hip-hop added to the mix. They are known to have a penchant for singing about aliens and robots, and have a large following of loyal fans. Fire Flies recorded their first album, entitled Baobabs In The Basement, in their dorm room over the course of a semester, and they are currently working on a new, more professionally recorded LP called Two New Sciences!

[edit] Two New Sciences!

Although Fire Flies' second album is slated for release in 2007, the band has been playing songs from the album at their performances dating back as early as 2003. Songs believed to be included on the album include: "We're Alive, "Rapid Eye Radar", "Call Me Your Darkness" and "It's a Party". Other songs that have been played live over the past few years and could be featured on new disc include: "I Don't Love You", "Closer to the End", "Hard to Find", "God in Disguise", "Now is Never", "They've All Forgotten You", "Stop the Car", "Work for Money", "Shining Through", "I Changed for You", "The Receiver", "Until We're Gone", "She Sings in Tune" and "Mechanical Love"
