Gwendolyn and the Good Time Gang

I was prepared to be disappointed by the Gwendolyn and the Good Time Gang concert that my wife's friend was dragging us to. Not because I'd heard anything bad about the kids' band (in fact, I'd never head of them at all until the day before we went to see them perform) but because I have disliked every kids' band concert I've had the misfortune of attending since my kids were born. And my kids have ended up being bored, too.

Thankfully, Gwendolyn and the Good Time Gang were funny, and clever and lively. Their sly humor appealed to me, especially in songs like "I Don't Think I Like It" and Selfish Shellfish. My eight-year-old daughter doesn't like them because they aren't cool enough (she liked the Fall Out Boy show I took her to see), but my three-year-old and I know better. The are extremely cool. $11.99 on Amazon
