One of our new favorite reads, Zooglobble, got a sampler CD and a preview of a new show, "Yo Gabba Gabba", on Nick Jr. that he talks about in his post. However, what caught our attention was the list of bands that are scheduled to provide music or appear on camera.
Starting with The Shins, who have a song and video that will be on the show, the list continues on from there:
Mya, Sugarland, Smoosh, Cornelius, the Postmarks, Dean & Britta, Jason Falkner, Low, Jason Lytle, Mark Kozelek, among others.
From Smoosh, a duo that consists of two young sisters (Asya is 13, Chloe is 11) who make infectuous pop-rock sing, to Low, a dream-pop shoegaze outfit formed in 1993 and still hugely influential, it is definitely an intriguing list of musical acts for a kids show that starts with the magic words "Yo, Gabba Gabba."
It's lovely!!
