The Lolly Bombs

     Michael Ivins, founding member of the Flaming Lips of 38 years wields a Bass VI with an array of guitar effects and Jules Kean armed with her turquoise Gretsch beauty and melodic vocals formed The Lolly Bombs in 2021. Their music is best described as “Passionate Pop Rock with an Edgy Twang”.  Ivins and Kean have self produced 8 singles in their home DIY style since 2021. Their full length album is expected to be released in 2025. You can find their bombastic repertoire on all streaming services. 

     The Lolly Bombs sound encompasses a wide range of musical influences blended and refracted to make movies through sound - “A Lolly Pop for your soul.” 

     In November of 2023, The Lolly Bombs were honored to play their first live performances at The Sidepony Express Music Festival in Bisbee AZ with Nathan Roberts (drums) and David Jablonski (guitar). In 2024, The Lolly Bombs embarked on their first DIY tour as a duo from coast to coast including Soul Bar Augusta GA, Kirby’s Witchita KS, Rumba Cafe Columbus OH, Spazz Fest Greenville NC among others and soon met up with the full band for shows at Healer Indianapolis IN, Nachbar Louisville KY, Resonant Head Oklahoma City OK (to name a few). Their current line up includes Mike DeCosta on drums as they embark on  their upcoming Mineral Tour. It’s their adventurous spirit and love of making music together that keeps them sharing“fuzzy sunshine music” in hopes of uniting the world in peace and love.
