The Flobots are finally home this week but they're not arriving quietly. Along with their New Year's Eve show at the Gothic Theatre, which benefits Flobots.org, the band will be hanging out with more than 100 people from Fight With Tools street teams from across the country at the first official Fight With Tools National Conference. The street team members will be coming together to learn more about social justice, civic engagement and to plan the work for 2009 for 98 different street teams.
In case you've been wondering where Flobots have been for the past six months or so, we've got the drop: Apparently, besides cropping up periodically at various events across town such as the Westword Music Showcase this past summer and attending to the launch of their non-profit Flobots.org, headquartered in a community space adjacent to the Meadowlark, the band has been up at the Blasting Room in Fort Collins recording a new record (and getting chastised for touching the equipment, evidently)
