[livejournal.com profile] jillchristina alerted me to the coming of the awesome coolness of Kiddie Show Wonderfulness called "Yo Gaba Gaba" that is coming soon to Nickelodeon. Seriously, it looks friggin' INCREDIBLE. And as I was admiring their website, I recognized a familiar face...

a face from THE AQUABATS!!!



I consider The Aquabats to be *THE* Nerd Rock Band of ALL TIME. A super-hero team that fights crime and plays music! They're TOO COOL!

I had a minor obsession with them back in the early double-oughts, back when they looked like this:



It was the campy stuff like that which REALLY drew me in to their little world. And to think that NOW they'll be polluting the minds of our young with campy goodness?

THANK YOU, AQUABATS!

I just ran across the first video the other day and figured you had already heard about them and loved them. Their music is totally not my taste, but their campy goodness is worth watching.

SOME of their music is quite good... the stuff that sounds like 60's Beach-Movie music. But then there's the main-stream modernized stuff (like in the Fashion Zombies video) that's just kinda... meh.

They were my gateway-musicians in to the world of Psychobilly music!

Ironically, I had only heard of them from "Gwar vs the Aquabats" ;-)
