Have you ever heard of Rocknoceros? (It rhymes with “rhinoceros,” but with a lot more rock!) This three-man children’s band is huge in the Washington, DC area. Coach Cotton, Williebob, and Boogie Woogie Bennie perform two dozen shows a month, host a bi-weekly video podcast, and just released their third CD. Their newest album, “Pink,” follows “Rocknoceros” and “Dark Side of the Moon Bounce.” We readily confess to owning a few of the 10,000 CD’s they’ve sold over the last 4 years!
Like many children’s bands, Rocknoceros has several videos on YouTube. A few to check out are Pink (seen here):
along with Seven Days a Week and The Cannoli Adjustment. There are dozens of other YouTube videos showing both live performances and various children dancing, imitating, or singing along with Rocknoceros.
Although my kids love Rocknoceros and Robbie Schaefer — and I’m pretty sure yours will, too — your child might have another favorite performer. If that band or individual isn’t already on YouTube, ask them to add some YouTube videos. (You don’t have to mention KidDesktop and our YouTube Playlist, but we wouldn’t mind if you did!) Let us know who your child listens to, and what YouTube videos they like to watch!
