"The Undisputed King of Kid Hop" (Time Out NY Kids)
Secret Agent 23 Skidoo
Releases
Make Believers
Available Now!
Secret Agent 23 Skidoo, which Time Out New York Kids magazine just named one of America's top 10 Best Bands for Kids, has just released Make Believers. The new disc, which features 39 guest artists including 10 year old MC Fireworks, is available now from Underground Playground Records, iTunes, Amazon.com and many other retailers.
The critics are raving
As these critics realize, Secret Agent 23 Skidoo
turns the typical kiddie story-song on its head by employing a level of
musical and lyrical complexity rarely seen in the family genre. Make Believers opens
with an energetic adaptation of the classic Jack in the Beanstalk
fairytale, “Magic Beans,” in which young Jack ignores the negativity
around him to forge ahead with his dreams. Other original songs offer
endless encouragement for kids to use their innate intelligence
(“Brainstorm”), bravery (“Hi-5 for the High Dive” and “Hot Sauce”), and
imagination (“Make the Future”).
Secret Agent 23 Skidoo’s albums have previously garnered acclaim in Time, People, USA Today, and
from Stefan Shepherd on NPR’s “All Things Considered.” His original
track “Cooperate” is featured on the 2012 Grammy award-winning
children’s album All About Bullies… Big and Small. 23 Skidoo
has rocked sets at Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits,The Winnipeg Folk
Festival, Irving Plaza, Legoland and The Smithsonian Institution. More
summer and fall performances will be announced soon.
