Zooglobble Recommended!: "Fun times three. This Seattle trio continues to write great songs and has a fun, energetic stage show to match. Think of them as the west coast Rocknoceros."

"2009 in Review: These kids' songs are... awesome!... There are bands you can't go wrong with, and this is one of them." -USA Today

"RECESS MONKEY: If Seattle is the new bastion of kindie rockers, then the trio of elementary school teachers - Jack Forman, Daron Henry and Drew Holloway - are the city's breakout stars." -Time Magazine

"Dan Zanes may be the godfather; They Might Be Giants, the legitimizer; and Laurie Berkner, Ralph Covert, and Justin Roberts the genre's superstars. But Recess Monkey is the heart of kids' music today." -Stefan Shepherd, Zooglobble

Recess Monkey's live shows are Beatles-influenced sing-alongs about friends, animals and SL-DOUBLE-E-P-OVERS. The Jammin Java performance will feature foot-stomping, hand-clapping, chicken-dancing romps through old favorites along with high-energy funk and new wave grooves from the brand-new The Final Funktier, including "Booster Seat," which compares a booster seat to a booster rocket and a low-gravity, high-bounce dance song called "Moon Boots." Kids and their parental units will zoom around the room with the high-energy "Jet Pack," join the Monkey Bar conga line (located everywhere), take a soapy ride at the Bubble Factory, and give that loose tooth an extra jiggle with Dr. Wiggle.
