In 2008, Kevin Morby and Cassie Ramone shared a small apartment in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn for a few months and wrote some songs. After meeting again in a house party, the two decided to start a band. The idea was to recapture the early, stress-free days of playing music before they were both in groups that had gained some success and created accompanying pressures. Despite the intention, nothing much came of the idea until the next winter when both bands again had a break. Justin Sullivan, who had played with Ramone in Bossy, began practicing with them on drums, and The Babies debuted as a three-piece in March 2009 at Dead Herring, their friends’ loft in Brooklyn. They played a few times before asking Nathanial Stark, formerly of Bent Outta Shape, to join on bass, and the full lineup’s first shows were in that summer.

The band released self-made tapes and singles for the small Wild World and Make a Mess labels before releasing their self-titled debut album for Shrimper in February 2011.They toured for much of the year, eventually replacing Stark with new bassist, Brian Schleyer.In early 2012, they left their Brooklyn home to record their second album in Los Angeles. Our House on the Hill was released on Woodsist late in the year.

In 2014, Cassie Ramone stated that the band is going to be "largely inactive" due to her focus on her own, as well as Morby's, solo careers.

There is another band with the same name:

Their debut CD album "The Babies" (Dancing Bear Records, 2003) is finally out ! In this moment, the band is on their promotional tour...

Personality
The Babies Lyrics

PERSONALITY PARTY

You say you got a feeling
you wrap me up hold tight pull me close
my hair is tangled in this feeling
stepping into the hills chandelier overdose

I'm on my back like a beetle
can't turn me on
It's an erotic kinda seething

This ain't a dance it's a full time Bela Lugosi

I can't hear you when you're breathing
You tie me up in a cold barbed wire embrace
but it's not even me you're needing
you only see yourself when we're face to face

My heart attach is a freak show
can't let you go
You only showed up for the feeding
I'll always show up for the full time basket case.

skipped on your personality party
not feeling the coke and bacardi
caked faces big teeth sunglasses
sweet rims bro throwing side glances

I'm your fait accompli
This is mission come clean

Healing, this wasn't what I had in mind to when I went to your place
And now we're hanging from the ceiling
these suckers suck til you're out cold blue in the face

You're hanging on like a leech tho
Can't let me go
And now you say it's you I'm feeding
This kind of love is full time Bela Lugosi

skipped on your personality party
not feeling the coke and bacardi
caked faces big teeth sunglasses
sweet rims bro throwing side glances

I'm your fait accompli
This is mission come clean
