About Baron Von Rumblebuss
Baron Von Rumblebuss Baron von Rumblebuss and his crew of Cosmusicologists have undertaken a study of the most moving music in the Galaxy aiming their discoveries at the wee of stature because kids are so big of heart, and generally less self-conscious about leaping about expressively. Songs about robots, superheroes, and falling into onion dip are a few of the kid-centric blasts of tunage that’ll take you straight to the playground. You’ll hear the lingering echoes of the Kinks and the Who, the swagger and shimmer of Powerpop merchants Big Star and the buzzy New Wave textures of Devo; there’s even a dash of funk… songs that talk directly to earth-young, without selling them (or their parents!) short. SHAKE SOME ACTION!
