Kidrockers Rock Out Pumpkin Fest 2009

Got kids? Like rock? Then Kidrockers is for you.

Kidrockers is an organization that brings together indie bands (and comedians) for concerts that kids and their parents will love, if rock (and comedy) is anywhere in the familial music gene. Their all-ages shows are designed to bring families together to enjoy new music. Artists perform original (not specifically made for children) songs in a manner that is both authentic and kid-friendly. Past artists include Matthew and Ira from Nada Surf, Los Campesinos!, Ra Ra Riot, The Subjects, The Jealous Girlfriends, The Spinto Band, Locksley, Chris Barron, Jeffrey Lewis, The Rosebuds, Kiss Kiss, Drink Up Buttercup, Undisputed Heavyweights, Levy, Looker, Reggie Watts, and many more. Kidrockers shows are hosted by Seth Herzog, Craig Baldo, Matt Dwyer, Greg Behrendt or Patton Oswalt.

"We love to hear great new music -- and so do our kids." says Kidrockers founder Beth Lorge.  "We want to create an opportunity for kids and parents to discover artists and get to see them play live in a fun, safe and comfortable environment."

And if you're in the NYC area, a chance to see a Kidrockers show is quickly approaching. They'll be rocking out at the Pumpkin Fest 2009 in Central Park on October 24th. Army Navy, Pretty Good Dance Moves, and LEVY and Found will be the featured bands, all whom happen to be in NYC for the CMJ Festival.

Kids and rock, together at last.
