Kids Have a ‘Doggone’ Good Time with Launch of RAGGS Kids Club Band Video Series
Charlotte, North Carolina (PRWEB) August 10, 2004 -- Kids too
young to enjoy the rock spectacles of today are granted a full-access, backstage
pass to the jammin’ concert designed and performed just for them by the hottest
kids rock n’ roll band around: the RAGGS Kids Club Band, a real-live touring
troupe.
The brainchild of advertising executive Toni Steedman, the RAGGS
Kids Club Band integrates positive messages with fun characters – each with his
or her own personalities, qualities and differences – working together to create
a hand-clapping, toe-tapping, tail-wagging good time kids will enjoy again and
again. Their live concerts, which can seen at malls, fairs/ festivals and daily
summer shows at The Palace Theatre in Myrtle Beach, SC, can now be viewed at
home with the “RAGGS Kids Club Band Pawsuuup! Tour” music video, the first in a
new line of videos, DVDs and CDs featuring the popular band.
“RAGGS Kids
Club Band Pawsuuup! Tour” recently received The National Parenting Center’s Seal
of Approval and the iParenting Award. It is recommended for ages 2-8 and will be
available on August 17, 2004 for a suggested retail price of $12.98 for the DVD
and $9.98 for the VHS. A CD of all the terrific songs from the concert will also
be available (SRP $9.98.)
The program is approximately 55 minutes and
the DVD has an extra 40 minutes of bonus material including: four karaoke-style
songs, a meet the band section and video instructions for the band’s secret
handshake.
“Entertaining children is a great responsibility and
privilege,” says Steedman, who originally created bandleader RAGGS, an imaginary
dog, for her daughter as carpool entertainment. “Our core message is teaching
the value of music in the lives of children. We are truly committed to the
absolute highest standards of entertainment.”
Steedman strived to make
the RAGGS Kids Club Band members distinctive individuals beholden with classic
traits reshaped by contemporary interests, values and issues: RAGGS, the founder
of the band and the glue that holds it together, is a true, loyal friend;
Trilby®, the furry pink bass player and super athlete, lives by her motto TNT,
“Trilby, Not Trouble;” Pido, the big yellow surfer pup, plays the drums and
serves up healthy meals for the band; B. Maxwell Oliver, main songwriter and
keyboardist, is wheelchair-bound and never misses a minute of the action while
always instilling the power of positive thinking; and Razzles, the band’s
manager, is the brains of the group and keeps the show rockin’ and
rollin’.
Viewers will enjoy clapping and dancing along to the 50’s rock
anthem “Wag & Wiggle,” the rap-ballad TNT (Trilby’s Theme) and the soulful
“RAGGS Kids Club House.” For a change of musical pace, there’s the
Italian-themed “Funiculi Funicula;” hip-hoppers will jam to “Razzles Rap;” and
funkers can get down to the “RAGGS Rock.” The show is intermixed with music
videos of the band’s hits “Yo Yo Hey,” “Rock-n-Roll Baby” and “The Drummer With
the Dinner,” as well as backstage interviews and footage of their antics and
adventures at the beach and in New York City. It’s a non-stop musical ride the
whole family will enjoy.
Future releases include “Unleashed,” music
videos mixed with live action, which will be available in October and “Holiday
Jam,” a live-action episodic program filmed on the ski slopes of Colorado and
based on the band’s already award-winning holiday CD, is due in November. Each
release will include a DVD, VHS and accompanying musical CD.
