BABYLAND "Past Lives"
BABYLAND "Last Ave." LIVE @ DNA Lounge in San Francisco 10.5.08. Thanks to Noisescape TV!
BABYLAND embodies the
integration of electronic music with the
direct approach of hardcore and the
intensity of junk noise. Compositions
are conceptually based on the extreme
emotional elements of humankind as
reflected in our continual evolution and
search for meaning within our own
existence.
Throughout the years,
elements of synth pop, hardcore punk
rock, new wave, techno, drum & bass
and noise have all fallen prey to our
continual experimentation. We utilize
machinery twisted through misuse and
human error to aggressively address
our audience with empathy and
concern; The electronic elements and
primitive rhythmic base of the music
provides an intense clarity and opposition
to the resulting confusion and noise.
The stronghold of our existence has
always been intense live performances
which confront audiences with an
honest celebration of extreme energy,
harsh sonic and visual elements, and
experimental destruction. In other words, we take ourselves way too seriously.

It breaks my heart (selfish) to loose something so good that has been there for almost two thirds of my life. I don't quite feel lost, but I think I can see it from here. "Will they notice that your gone?" Every day.
