Wanna get in the Halloween spirit?


This week's concert is something special!   Mr. Singer & The Sharp Cookies are back with another Halloween Show.   ChiIL Mama caught the whole spooky set from their Beat Kitchen show on video last year, and it was one of our all time favs.   They played not only their own well loved originals, but a host of rockin' covers that the big kids (AKA:  parents) dug just as much as the littles!   Check out their live versions of The Cramps' Goo Goo Muck, White Stripes' Little Ghost, Devil Town, Got a Monster in Me, Spider Man and more below.

Our friend, Charlie, turned into a zombie and won the Punkin' Prom costume contest at Lincoln Hall with his excellent Plants Vs. Zombies costume!   Du-Jay made him a pea shooter.

ChiIL Mama's all about sweet, sugar free treats for Halloween.   In the past, we've given out mini playing cards, stickers and tiny tubs of Play Doh, but this year trumps all of those.   We're giving out rockin' awesome Plants Vs.

ChiIL Mama's Kindie Land CD Reviews & Escalator Discount Link:
More treats...no trick.

ChiIL Mama has special pricing for David Tobocman's brand new "Escalator" CD.  Click this link to purchase the CD for just $8, which is 33 percent off of the suggested retail price!


Uplifting Escalator elevates kids' rock to new heights

ChiIL Mama had a chance to check out David Tobocman's latest kindie CD, the impressive Escalator.  This CD manages to be funny, educational, and musically compelling.   These 11 tunes will have your whole family grinning from ear to ear and jonesin' for a road trip.   Tobocman has a down home folk feel on tunes like America's Our Country and Peace Sign.   All your Little Folk and Hippy Kids will dig it.

We particularly enjoyed the creative lyrics and catchy melody on Custom Family Spaceship.   We also love The Owie Song.   Scrapes and bruises are a frequent part of any active childhood, so how cool is it that these little bumps in the road have their own super catchy song to ease the pain?!   Escalator is fast moving fun from top to bottom.   There's really not a weak link in the bunch.   

Of course we especially dig that David Tobocman's a dad, and includes his daughter, Zoe, on the CD.   Here at ChiIL Mama, we've been doing a long form video series on How Creatives Parent and How Parents Create and we love to see where those two worlds collide.   Escalator is a great example of kid collaboration and influence.   Check it out!





Here are a few things folks are saying about David’s music:

"Totally appealing" -- Stefan Shepard, Zooglobble blog

"Positively easy on the ears" -- Stephanie Mondrat, Hear It Love It Share It blog
