Those of you Tied to the '90s readers who have little ones now, and really liked quirky, literate power-pop back in the day can rejoice: Barenaked Ladies and They Might Be Giants are doing a kiddie-pop tour in conjunction with Disney.
Wait, really?
That's what this article says. Raven-Symone as the guest host? I'm there!
Barenaked Ladies recently released a children's album, entitled Snacktime, which debuted at a fairly respectable #61 on the charts back in May. And unbeknownest to me, They Might Be Giants have actually released three kids' albums: No!, Here come the ABCs, and Here Come the 123s.
Dates for the Disney Music Block Party Tour:
July 25-27 - Toms River HS, Toms River, NJ
July 29-30 - Merriweather Post Pavilion, Columbia, MD
August 1-3 - Fairmount Park, Philadelphia
August 5-6 - Rentschler Field, East Hartford, CT
August 8-10 - Toyota Park, Chicago
August 12-13 - Columbus Crew Stadium, Columbus, OH
August 15-17 - Downsview Park, Toronto
August 19-20 - Meadow Brook Music Festival, Detroit
August 22-24 - Nassau Coliseum Parking Lot, Uniondale, NY
In other Barenaked Ladies news, they're doing a cruise in February. As we've seen, cruises are quite the income stream for many '90s acts now.

I haven't heard the stuff from They Might Be Giants, but "Snacktime" from BNL has some of my favorite Barenaked Ladies songs. I'd encourage everyone to get a copy!
