   About The Franklin Kite
The Franklin Kite is an rock/pop/electronic band based in Cambridge, MA. An astrophysicist and three software mavens are on a mission to create powerful and engaging rock that harnesses the expressive potential of a laptop-integrated live performance. Their sound is glitch-pop meets the Beastie Boys, the delicate melodies of Coldplay meet the infectious energy of Beck. They wrap it all up into a hot, absorbing, crowd-involved live show. The band achieved liftoff in the spring of 2005.

My only God is Science

Science will bring me back

Xyience will help me crack

Your nose is broke and runny

Blood drips down to choke you honey

The police just want my money

And who can forget the banker dweebs?

The police just want my money

The best is when you can thank your thieves

The police just want my money

See that your swift and break your chains

The police just want my money

The test is if you can shake or slave

I'm so excited about attending the Academy of Country Music Awards in Vegas this Tuesday! I wanted to introduce you to my new friend and fashion designer Nina Dewara-Tanawanich, who designed this great dress for my orange carpet walk! Nina has worked with celebrities like Miss USA 2006 Tara Conner, designing the dress she was crowned in, and Little Big Town’s Kimberly Roads! She's an amazing designer and a great person.
