Meet The Not-Its!, Seattle’s most rockin’ band making music for children. Their debut album, We Are The Not-Its!, took the kindie rock scene by storm, receiving a Fids & Kamily Music Award for one of the best family music albums of 2009—unprecedented for a freshman release. And with the buzz generated by their newest album Tag, You’re It!, it’s clear they are on a mission to make kids dance, with up-tempo, power-pop hits families love.
Featuring the vocals of Sarah Shannon (of lauded ‘90s indie-pop band Velocity Girl), The Not-Its! combine crunchy guitars with smooth, four-part harmonies, all nestled within “fantastic danceable pop gems about gettin’ fancy, birthday parties, bath time and intergalactic play dates.” The Not-Its! may also be the nation’s best-dressed kids’ band, sporting skinny pink ties and fluffy pink tutus that appeal to kids’ discerning fashion sense. Their high-energy stage performances are guaranteed to get audiences on their feet and jumping around with delight. The Not-Its! rocked the socks off Seattle’s Bumbershoot festival, New York’s Kindiefest, and PEPSapalooza at the Red Hook Bowl. They were also delighted to have the opportunity open for the Kratt Brothers (of the PBS Kids’ Show Zoboomafoo).
With the release of Tag, You’re It! this summer, it’s clear that The Not-Its! are poised to jump around even more: right onto the national stage.
We saw them at the Point Defience Zoo during their Performance. They are Awesome according to my 7 year old. we had to buy their latest album of Tag, You’re it! We all love it in the house and car. As a mom The Not It’s are teaching lessons in a fun and entertaining way! I hope to be able to buy more of their cd’s for my daughter. Keep coming up with great songs!
So glad you and your family have been ROCKIN’ out to our music! We hope to be back down that way soon….
