They have toured with Yo Gabba Gabba Live and continue to perform their rock and roll puppet musical live show to sold-out audiences across the United States, including shows in Washington DC and an Amazon Music sponsored "Think about Music" show during SXSW Music festival in Austin this spring.
The Pop Ups new 11-song album, Great Pretenders Club is available exclusively from Amazon Music. The Pop Ups invite fans everywhere to join their "Great Pretenders Club" to get ideas for further singing, dancing and playing, plus earn badges for their creativity. The album was selected as one of the 10 best of 2015 by the annual Fids and Kamily critics’ poll, and the video “Bird and Rhino” was endorsed by Kids First! The new “Great Pretenders Club Special” is available for free streaming to Amazon Prime subscribers, and new music videos are posting on The Pop Ups’ YouTube channel.
Through dance-able electro-pop beats, puppetry, animation, and smart lyrics, The Pop Ups continue to engage fans with songs that will spark imagination and creativity. Great Pretenders Club is inspired by the essential role of play in childhood development. Play is deeply tied to how animals (including human animals!) learn, adapt, and socialize. The Pop Ups wrote these songs to engage children (and bears) in imaginative play as a means of exploration and learning. The Pop Ups consulted noted biologist and animal ethologist Marc Bekoff PhD to write lyrics to reflect animal behavior and the human-centered "science of play." Guest artists include GRAMMY nominated multi-instrumentalist, composer and lyricist Bernhoft and the indie band HAERTS. Children’s voices and characters from The Pop Ups’ puppet family also contribute to the joyous wall of sound. Tap into your wild creative power and see the world in a new way with The Pop Ups.
