I was given the opportunity from Twitter Moms to review  Milkshake’s latest DVD -  Screen Play, and CD – PLAY!  Milkshake is the kid friendly rock n roll band.  They can be seen on Discovery Kids and PBS.  Most of their songs are inspired by different events in the band members lives.

For the song Happy Songs from their first CD this song was inspired by the birth of Lisa’s (the vocalist) daughter and Mikel’s (Acoustic Guitarist) son.

They are a colorful group of people, very happy and in tune with the what children are interested in.  Some of their  songs off the PLAY! album are about Bowling, Baseball and Superheros.  Lisa’s voice is very pleasant and enjoyable to listen to.  As a parent I actually enjoyed all of their songs as well.  Very catchy, I caught my self singing the songs hours after watching the DVD.  LOL!

Their videos are very colorful, which catches a child’s eye.  The band mates wear colorful clothes and certain objects in each song, whether it’s their shirts, flowers, other landscape etc. are bold and bright.

I would like to say that my son at 18 months is not interested in ANY TV.  Well except for 2 things, one being the action in Bad Boys II (LOL!) and Milkshake.  He sat and watched all of the DVD.  Now I have put on a variety of cartoons and he may look at it, but nothing has caught his interest like the videos and songs sung by Milkshake.

I am really just extremely pleased with the DVD and CD!

And don’t forget to check out Milkshake’s official website to read more about the band mates, how they got started and visit their online store for other great Milkshake products!!!
