Barenaked Ladies And Their New CD For Kids
The famous multi-platinum artist Barenaked Ladies shall release Snacktime, a collection of original children’s songs, on May 6, 2008 through their recording label Desperation Records.
This album was mixed and produced by Michael Phillip Wojewoda, who also worked with the band on their debut.
“Our collective kids now outnumbered the band more than 2 to 1,” said vocalist/guitarist Ed Robertson. “We set out to make a record that would be entertaining for them, not strictly a children’s record, but a record that childeren would really enjoy. Our kids are in to all kinds of music. They love the They Might Be Giants kids recoreds, but they also love The Beatles, Fountains of Wayne, Randy Newman, Black Eyed Peas and Green Day. Making the focus about what our kids like was a trully liberating process and fun for the whole band.”
“,Besides, our biological clocks are ticking,” jokes drummer Tyler Stewart. “The medical risks associated with releasing children’s music after age 40 are well documented, and we thought it best not to put any of our lives in danger.”
