Comprised of members of Vivian Girls, Woods and Bossy, the Babies aren’t your average “indie supergroup”; they’re a dynamic, exciting band with their own distinct, catchy lo-fi sound that’s unlike anything produced by their other musical projects. From the jammy, sing-along “Caroline” to Cassie Ramone’s and Kevin Morby’s back-and-forth vocals on “Breaking the Law,” this Brooklyn-based band’s infectious brand of garage rock just might be one of the best things you’ll hear all year.
Recorded by Chris + Kat of Kill/Hurt at legendary DIY venue the Smell, KH008 captures the entirety of the Babies’ set from their January 2011 visit to Los Angeles.
Live at the Smell is limited to 100 copies, dubbed by Kill/Hurt onto a shiny blue C40 cassette and features artwork by Cali DeWitt of Teenage Teardrops.
"Now since I was at this show, and know how great it was, I won't go on and say how incredibly much I hate the Smell, which by the way, DOES smell, and say how fantastic this version of Breaking The Law is. Much more fast paced than on record, the Babies make this song into the most crazy, catchy singalong song that is as ramshackle as it is infectious."
