HEB Opening In Dripping Springs

by j on July 23, 2010

It was our supreme pleasure to play for the opening of the new HEB in Dripping Springs this evening. Over a thousand people came out to tour the new store, have some Salt Lick BBQ, and listen to Family Time Rocks! The kids were great and helped us out onstage stupendously.

We got to show off our HEB banner and shakers made from recycled HEB containers. Nothing but love for HEB.

We heard back from a wonderful fan after we played Pleasant Hill Library yesterday.

THANK YOU for such a wonderful outing with our kidos today at Pleasant Hill Library!  You and your band ROCK!  Seriously, it is so amazing to listen to you guys – and so much fun for two grown adult ladies (though we are kids at heart!) an 8-year-old boy, a 7-year old girl, a 2-year old and a 1-year old to have such a rompin’, singing, dancing, smiling and laughing good time on a rainy afternoon!  It was awesome fun for all ages and genders.  You guys are great and we are so fortunate to have you here in Austin!  You and your guys are such great artists, entertainers, community people and inspirations for us all.

Keep it coming!

Jules, Kat and Kidos

Turn Down The Heat

J did this song for Ignite! a few years back. And we still need to turn down the heat of global warming by reducing our pollution.

We Rocked Dodge

by j on June 8, 2010

Family Time Rocks!

The BCRC -Breast Cancer Resource Center of Texas- threw a great party at Threadgill’s on Sunday called Welcome To Dodge For A Day, where women live with breast cancer. It was a powerful event and we rocked it powerfully. Look at Sara doing karate and being ferocious. It brought J to his knees!

Thanks to Forrest Preece for the first four pix and Joe Broccoli for the last two.

We had a great crowd out on a gorgeous day for the Houston International Festival and the kids really got into it. Thanks to the Festival for having us and Greg Kolanowski for a great bunch of photos. Here’s are a few songs and kids on the mic.

We opened with our theme song: Funky Time Rocks!

After Pirate Tae Kwon Do, the kids had some really nice things to say, but one kid proclaimed it the best song ever! Of course Sara and I loved him.

The kids got on stage and introduced themselves before dancing with us.

Family Time Rocks!
Sara played drums and Gray sang bass on Bananas!

And a fearless dad danced to Iolana.

Family Time Rocks!
We all took a pledge to not knock anybody down while dancing, but if we do, to help them up.
