For over fifteen years Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child has been providing the soundtrack to thousands of childhoods around the country. The show plays “indie music for indie kids,” including the best of music aimed at kids like Dan Zanes, Moona Luna, Lunch Money, Caspar Babypants, and They Might Be Giants, right along side kid-friendly tracks from the likes of The Ramones, Ella Fitzgerald, Brian Eno, Andrew Bird, Fishbone, and more. One thing it’s not is your typical kids’ programming.
This week, we’re announcing the family music lineup for the KUT Festival in May, plus we’ll hear new music from Wild Child, Little Folkies, and Donkey Hodie. And a tribute to when you combine two middling fast food restaurants to create one middling fast food restaurant! It’s indie music for indie kids.
