At upcoming shows, you might find yourself wondering why we now have strange, multicolored thingies in our ears. Well, we done growns up. We are making the leap to using in-ear monitors in an effort to make our stage volume a little quieter. It will also allow us to hear the things we need to hear a little bit better, as we are able to change what we hear on the fly via our iPhones. Fancy, huh?

We promise this will make us sound at least 9% better, although, we’ll still probably play that damn Rick Springfield song from time to time, so try not to judge us too harshly.

And, since many famous artists, like those below, use these devices, by the transitive property we can conclude that FlashMob! will now find instant fame and fortune. Science, folks.
