about

BABERS is a best friend rock-band residing on the west coast fronted by Dana Cargioli & Lisa Haagen.

The music sits in a catchy pocket that almost pushes all the way into pop music- while serving syncopated rhythms and counter melodies that add complexity.  Rooted in the electric guitar, the songs satisfy a nostalgic craving whilst also providing a taste of something new. The dual leads have distinct voices that blend into sister-like harmonies of high emotional impact.

The high energy band provides a number of unique visual elements through their shared musicality - the band switches instruments fluidly throughout the set. A visual peak in the set involves Lisa Haagen drumming percussively on the acoustic guitar (think August Rush or Kaki King) while singing what stylistically remains a rock-pop song that builds to include the full band. 

The band first formed in Los Angeles and relocated to Portland, OR in fall of 2020. The band has spent the last couple years building a strong live tour route along the west coast, one fan at a time.

BABERS is currently recording their sophomore album which will be released in Summer of 2024.
