According to the band, Baby Baby formed in the summer of 2009. It all started after a day at the pool. Fontez (guitar) and Grant (drums) set up a make-shift practice at their shared apartment, noise violations ensued but, there it was. Three months later, Kyle was added on bass and the band made their first EP, self-recorded in a cabin with an iMac. Fusing together styles from Black Kids, Manchester Orchestra, and Prince, Baby Baby tries to make their own sound; something new, something dancy, something fun. “We call it Fun Rock. Fused by a love for music and a love for the stage, Carrollton (Georgia) has helped make the live shows some of the best moments in our entire lives.”

“At first glance, the motley crew of Fontez Brooks (Vocals, Guitar), Kyle Dobbs (Bass), and Grant Wallace (Drums), along with newcomer Colin Boddy (Percussion) do not seem like serious musicians. It might be the fact that they are constantly shirtless, wearing only fluorescent colored short-shorts. Maybe it’s the tribal face paint that they sport at shows. Or it could be that they named their last album something as nonsensical as Wabadabadaba. Whatever the case may be, one thing is for certain, Baby Baby is very serious – about having fun.

“We don’t look serious, but in fact we are serious, we just have a very unusual way of showing it,” drummer Grant Wallace explains. “When we go to shows, we want to have a good time. Most of the time, the majority of the people are not having fun. We are here to help the audience enjoy it and have a better time.” Colin chimes in, “It’s like a pep rally!”

“Baby Baby’s inception can be attributed to the bad attitudes and overall humdrum of one too many musical acts. The boys vowed to fill the gaping void in their hometown music scene with their own disjointed blend of pop / indie / rock that eschews pompousness for awesomeness.” (Joshua Bottomley / Performer Magazine)

Baby Baby refers to their unique sound as “Fun Rock”. Money is the end product of close to eighteen months of Baby Baby shows and practices. Enjoy.

Praise for Money:

“a goofy bunch of fluorescent short wearing dudes who make music because it’s fun as hell and they want you to have a damn good time.” – Those Who Dig

“Baby Baby live is all about some neon short shorts and a brand of music they’ve coined “fun rock”— the kind of danceable, primal energy that gets both your adrenal and sweat glands pumping.” – Flagpole Magazine
