Atomic Flea is our band of the week. Saturday, they celebrate the release of their new CD “BABADEBABA”. An interesting title for an interesting band. They also are releasing a graphic novel about the adventures of Atomic Flea which includes giant robots, penguins and how the unique CD title came about.
