We were in Now! Magazine proving once again that media is incapable of writing about urban parents without being snide. Having said that, we 98 percent really like this article and appreciate the coverage. However, we caution the twenty-somethings who often write these articles about us “aging hipsters” (le sigh): you too shall walk this path at some point and then you will be glad there is good music for families.

We find out what it takes to be a hit with the preschool set
How did you get into the Kindie music scene?
I vowed never to make a kids’ music CD. I do adult music, well, I guess that’s just called music, and I’d been doing that for a long time. I have two little girls and over the years I just wrote a bunch of songs for them. At the beginning of 2009, I ended up a whole pile of songs that I’d written for them. Just as a goof, I just decided to make a record of them and I made that thinking I would sell it to preschools or at events. Then it quickly got picked up by Sirius XM satellite radio and National Public Radio. Within about two weeks they’d called up to ask about it. So I decided that I should actually pursue this.

Georgia, Sadie and Zoe answered a few questions for us on how I Eat Kids came to be:
Why did you want to start a band?
Originally, when we were 5 and 6, we started a band because we wanted to become famous rock stars. As we got more into it, we kept at it because we love playing as a band and performing together.

Michelle and husband Dave want to give their sons unique experiences
We’re all about sharing our passions with our kids. For Michelle and Dave, that passion is music. Their boys Kale, 7, and Desmond, 3, are well on their way to becoming serious little rockers. When Michelle found out that Brandon Flowers was coming to town, she and Dave figured it would make for a great first concert for Kale.
How did Kale get interested in Brandon Flowers?
We’re always on top of the new music and I grew up around the early punk scene in Toronto, so music’s always been a big thing for me and a big thing for Dave. We downloaded Flamingo and started playing it in the car (We’ve always got music going in the car) and Kale just loved it. When I found out he was coming, it just seemed like a great first concert to take him too.
