Flailing Idiot - "Polluted Skies" (The Bombpops cover w/ Poli van Dam)

Poli van Dam, formerly of The Bombpops, joined us on stage to sing our cover of their song Polluted Skies. Thank you Poli! Flailing Idiot has been performing this song from our very first practice sessions over 4 years ago. We love this song and performing alongside Poli was amazing! Thank you!!!
This performance was at Hotel Ziggy located on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood for FEMcore, a show with a great lineup of female fronted bands to celebrate Women's History Month. Presented by Cobalt Presents in association with Audioelectica and The Radford Media Group.

We are Flailing Idiot, a pop punk trio from North County San Diego. We are Sammie Augusto (13 years old) on vocals and guitar, Miya Schultheis (16 years old) on bass, and Cameron Trueblood (16 years old) on drums. We play a mix of originals and covers with a pop punk twist. You can listen to us on Spotify and all other streaming platforms. Flailing Idiot has opened for singer-songwriter Jax at a local show and for Bad Cop Bad Cop at the Oceanside Punk Rock Food Drive. We've performed at close to 50 festivals, fairs, and venues throughout San Diego and beyond and hope to keep the momentum going for 2024. Follow us on Instagram for up to date videos and show announcements. We have more originals coming out soon. Hope to see you around!

Ran across this while searching for what Poli is up to. Sammie's vocals and stage presence are so good at... 13 years old?! I can't even believe that. You all have really good energy and sound. Love Poli's performance and interactions also.

We have played the Bombpops cover since Sammie was 8 years old lol!! We love Poli she’s so talented

Watching this one with a big smile on my face and chills up and down my arms. I'm not sure why...but I'm digging it!
Y'all have so much fun when you're playing. Love to see it.

[@mattiabassriffs]

Congratulations for having her singing with you 👍🏼

[@flailing_idiot]

It was amazing! Poli is amazing!

[@backtoemocovers]

The drummer reminds me of Stewart Copeland from The Police. I hope to see a video of you guys playing at Coachella Festival soon. The singer is reaching those high notes without any problem and the bassist is rocking that bass like nothing. Keep making music 🎼.

[@flailing_idiot]

Thank uu! Playing some big festivals with some big names would be a dream come true

[@truebloodtheband]

such a fun night. Thanks Polly!

[@flailing_idiot]

Super fun!

[@xbob]

This was great! I hope whatever health/family issues caused Poli to drop out of Bombpops is resolved and she gets back into music. Maybe she has and I just haven't heard about it. Rock on FI!

[@flailing_idiot]
