Forms In Flux Band Photo

Forms In Flux was created by Sacramento artist/musician, Crackbaby. As its name suggests – it is a band in constant change; going from a synth pop, industrial, hip hop sound and fluxing into a live band rocking stages all over Sacramento CA.

Forms in Flux started in 1999 as a collaborative recording project by Crackbaby and he has been expanding his reach through different avenues of music and art. He works with local musicians from all genres of the scene. Forms and flux had their debut on Sacramento’s Alternative Radio Station, KWOD 106.5 and were featured and interviewed on XBeats with D.J. David X.

With Forms In Flux dominating the DJ and electronic scenes, their wide demographic has enabled them prime spots in top shows with hip hop artist s such as Hieroglyphics, Souls of Mischief, and Blue Scholars, they have also shared the stage with electronic/ drum and bass producer Tha Fruitbat. Forms in Flux has performed live for benefit shows, including an Autism Awareness concert, recently on the steps of the Sacramento Capital building.Forms In Flux Logo

Earth (2003), Baby vs. Dragon (2004); The Hits (2006), and The Remixes (2008), they are now busy working on their next album: "I Plead the FIF" with world famous producer Riq Roq who has worked with artists such as The Federation, E-40, Mr. Fab and 2pac Shakur. “I Plead the FIF” features a collection of songs that will keep you dancing, and a line up of MCs that will keep you bumping.

Recent reviews have included the following: “Forms in Flux rocks the Sacramento indie-scene. Emerging from the underground music culture existing in Midtown since the early 00's, Crackbaby leads an all-out assault that pushes the lines of commercially-acceptable musical madness to new heights.” (J. Nightshade, R9 Records).
