Hello Music makes it to the US media! Well..not exactly the foray we had planned..

2010-07-18T17:08:00.000-07:00

I came across this article about in the Houstonpress.com- wow news really does travel lightning speed in the e-world: http://blogs.houstonpress.com/rocks/2010/07/lovable_childrens-music_perfor.php Lovable Children's-Music Performer Totally Eats It By Jef With One F, Tue., Jul. 6 2010 @ 8:00AM Rocks Off watches a lot of lovable children's characters singing endless cheerful songs about the basic virtues that make up the best of humanity. And not because we smoke a bowl each day, it's to appease our 10-month-old empress. And most of the time, programs like Yo Gabba Gabba are actually fun and fairly cool. But you can only watch so much of it before you really, really want to care and share a gun to your head. Until now, we would just cure this feeling by walking over to the computer and watching the uncensored version of the "Carving the Giant" video by Gorgoroth. Now we just watch this video of Vinnie Violin from Australian kids phenomenon Hello Music Land falling off the stage over and over and over again.

Hello Music and LICKs5D interactive cinema spectacular is set to take children’s entertainment by storm!
Hello Music Land is an amazing cinema spectacular show created by LICKs5D Productions that combines 3D interactive animation and live performance to create a world full of music, magic, comedy and mayhem.
Original, energetic and highly entertaining, it’s like nothing you, or the kids, have ever seen! After a sell-out season in Singapore, Malaysia and Australia LICKs5D is set for a highly anticipated second season in Australia touring throughout 2009. In addition to WOW-ing crowds across the South Pacific interest is now growing in Europe and the US – LICKs5D is set to become a global phenomenon!
Kids are invited to join in the performance by riding an interactive animated rainbow, play the world’s biggest game of snap and turn the pages of a movie screen sized storybook!
Host Quickles, and his band of merry instruments, Dimmie Drum, Penny Piano and Vinnie Violin, lead the magical, musical, multi-dimensional experience as they travel between the animated screen and live stage searching for Vinnie Violin’s lost BowBow. A spectacular animated “Big Finale” promises to have kids and parents singing and dancing in the aisles.

Developed by award-winning children’s entertainment team, Hello Music Land is produced by founder Karen Kim and directed by multi-talented AFI winner, Stephen Johnson (Yolngu Boy.)
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE: LICKs5D is just one of Hello Music’s creative projects aimed to introduce children to the wonderful world of music…
Creative Director Karen Kim has also been busy producing a new animation TV series, set to take part in Mipcom, Cannes October 2008. In conjunction with a rapidly expanding international fan base and recent support from Film Victoria, it is no wonder suspense is building to see what Hello Music’s next move will be!
