The Final Funktier Review

Photobucket

Recess Monkey is getting ready to release their sixth album called “The Final Funktier” on June 15. Strap on you moon boots and get ready for some fast paced, out of this world, funk grooves and drumbeats!


Recess Monkey is the acclaimed children’s music band from Seattle, WA!
…three elementary school teachers who make kid’s music that grows out of their days in their classrooms. They continue to be praised across the country for singable, dancable songs that parents enjoy as much as their kids. MIndy Thomas from SiriusXM’s Kids Place Live says, “These guys are able to tap into elementary school so well that it’s like they never left. In this never-ending nationwide talent show of kid and family music, they are most definitely at the top.” Says Stefan Shepherd of Zooglobble.com, “Recess Monkey just keeps turning out album after album with pop nuggets, as if we’d just discovered that the Beatles had recorded a ton of kids music 40+ years ago.” Cookie Magazine says, “This Seattle trio knows how to get kids excited.” This children’s music band isn’t just for kids!

I’ve been given the chance to review “The Final Funktier” with my kids. They say the CD’s music is good for kids from 3-7. It has a playtime of 34 minutes. My kids are 1, 3, and 5 and they all LOVE it. My son asks for the Elevator music CD all the time in the car. (There’s a space elevator in the middle of the album!)
Photobucket The songs on the album are:

  1. Liftoff!
  2. Moon Boots
  3. Jet Pack
  4. Science Fair
  5. Ukulalien
  6. My Brother is a Satellite
  7. Beat-Box-a-Robot
  8. Sunglasses
  9. Space Elevator Music
  10. The Galax Sea
  11. Booster Seat
  12. How Do You Build a Robot?
  13. Constellation Conga
  14. Black Hole in My Room
  15. One Tiny Light

I’m a fan of Funk music so listening to this CD is as enjoyable to me as it is to the kids. I think my favorite song is Beat-Box-a-Robot (do, do, do, do, do, do, dooo.)  The songs are all catchy and fun. I find myself singing them all the time. I lost something and started singing a line from “Black Hole in My Room.”

To catch a sneak peek of the songs on the album head on over to Recess Monkey Town. While you’re there, fan them on Facebook to hear the latest updates from the band. You can also sign up for their mailing list while you’re there. Recess Monkey is coming to the Taste of Chicago in July and I’m going to do my best to bring my kids to see them. A day on the train and listening to one of their new favorite bands?! Should be a great day!

You can pre-order  The Final Funktier through Amazon.
