Stolen Babies
Biography
Once upon an awkward adolescence, there was a girl that tripped often andspoke very little, a boy who ate too much junk food, but spoke a lot, and
his identical twin that hit things and spoke even more. Then along came a
pianist with very wiggly fingers and a baseball bat. Hence...the musical
misadventures unfolded.
It all started with "The Fratellis," Stolen Babies' original 12+ member
group. Horns blared, oversized dolls jumped out of toy boxes, squabbles were
had, babies were stolen, turned into flies and fed to giant spiders.
Eventually, the blundering theatrics came to an end, but the four stuck
together.
More misadventure, more junk food...
Taking their name from a song/skit from the early days, Stolen Babies have
been described as playing prog-pop-cabaret-thrash-quirky-goth-rock. Mostly
though, they would just like to think that their songs are fun to dance and
fall down to.
It's nearly impossible to talk about Stolen Babies without mentioning their
ongoing collaboration with graphic novelist extraordinaire Crab Scrambly.
His artwork has graced their early releases, website and merch. More notably
you can see Crab's original paintings that provide the otherworldly
landscapes to Stolen Babies video "Push Button," and of course the artwork
for the bands debut full length album "There Be Squabbles Ahead," which was
recorded and produced by Dan Rathbun of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum.
Which now brings Stolen Babies to...the beginning of The End.
