Rock out to the biggest hits from this infectious group’s latest CD, Dark Side of the Moon Bounce. Bop to the beat while learning about the first man on the moon, the metric system, the importance of teeth brushing, and the 50 states. Clever lyrics and unforgettably catchy tunes make this a hands-down favorite for little music fans. Don’t forget to bring your shakers and tambourines! A Closer Look - About the Performers: This power trio from Fairfax, Virginia are the hot new rock stars for the under 8 set. Three young zany guys (Coach Cotton, Williebob, and Boogie Woogie Bennie – their names tell it all) have the stroller mom’s cell phones buzzin’… they write terrific songs that teach and focus the youngest audiophiles, and they are just flat-out fun! With this first visit to the Smithsonian, they can’t wait to make Discovery
theater rock—and hope you can make the Rocknoceros music party!
P.S. They will bring some CDs with them so you can learn all the Moon Bounce songs… so bring some cash ($15) and take Rocknoceros home with you! The Fans say: "These guys have reached 'rock star' status in my 2 year old's eyes! Not only do we all love the band and CD, but my 2 year old can count to ten in Spanish thanks to Coach, Boogie Benny and Willibob! … We highly recommend this CD to anyone who likes to listen to cool kid music. You won't find any Barney on this CD! Thank goodness!" "We picked [Dark Side of the Moon Bounce] up at the release party and put it in the van's CD player on the way home. That was three weeks ago, and the kids still won't let me take it out! We now have all the songs memorized, and even the two-year-old sings along. My six-year-old and four-year-old sons are really into all the space songs. Music-savvy parents will recognize various genre influences and appreciate the music and lyrics on a different level, so I actually don't mind listening to it day-in and day-out. I've even caught myself listening to it when the kids aren't in the car, or singing "Days of the Week" to myself without it driving me crazy. Definitely something the whole family can enjoy!"
