Soundcheck
Kindie-Rock
Tuesday, February 20, 2007
If you think that children’s music is all purple dinosaurs and Raffi, think again. On today’s show: we look at the booming world of Kindie-rock, and the role Gen X parents are playing in its growth. Also: An update on Mardi Gras, two years after Katrina. And finally: Faux French pop band Nous Non Plus play live.
Mardi Gras Two Years After Katrina
Mardi Gras is Marching In. On Fat Tuesday, we check in from the streets of New Orleans to find out how carnival is going two years after Katrina.
Kindie-Rock
If you think that children’s music is all purple dinosaurs and Raffi, think again. Children's media blogger Amy Davis, and Little Monsters Records co-founder Kevin Salem, join us to discuss the booming world of Kindie-rock, and the role Gen X parents are playing in its growth.
Nous Non Plus
Two years ago faux French pop band Les Sans Culottes found themselves in a real life court battle. The French have a long tradition of surrendering, and it is in this tradition that Nous Non Plus (Us No More) was born. They play their 60s inspired French pop live in our studio.
Nous Non Plus is performing live at The Mercury Lounge this Saturday, February 24.
