Remember the Kia Sorento Super Bowl commercial last year with the sock monkey and the other toys? Remember the big orange guy that was an awesome bowler? If you don’t, show your 3 year old the video below and they’ll explain it to you. Go ahead. I’ll wait.
Got it? That’s Muno and he’s one of the characters on Yo Gabba Gabba! the freakishly popular kids show on Nickelodeon. Well, Kia Motors is sponsoring an epic live tour that is hitting 60 cities across the country and I get to take my kids!
Now, it’s been admitted that I often am slightly confused by this show, but my kids freaking love it. They watch the DVDs over and over and over and over….you get the idea. DJ Lance Rock is their hero.
Let me touch on a few key points then we’ll get to some awesomeness.
- Yo Gabba Gabba! Clubhouse is the newest DVD from Nickelodeon featuring the Yo Gabba Gabba cast. It was released on June 15th (ordered mine yesterday, yeah!) and and features performances by musical guests Erykah Badu, The Killers, Jimmy Eat World and more.
- Yo Gabba Gabba! Party in My Tummy is a book based on the popular song from Yo Gabba Gabba!, Party in My Tummy makes healthy eating fun for little ones! Lift the flaps, sing along, and find out what everyone in Gabba Land is bringing to the party!
- Yo Gabba Gabba!: Music is Awesome Volume 1” features songs from the Roots, The Shins and others.
- Yo Gabba Gabba!: Music is Awesome Volume 2 features hit songs from seasons 1, 2 and 3 including super music friends Weezer, MGMT, Jimmy Eat World and songs from the show and will be available at Target on August 24th!
Tour Info
Fresh off a triumphant sold-out tour debut in 2009, a headlining performance at The White House, a critically-acclaimed, chart-topping album, and an appearance at Coachella that garnered rave reviews from spectators and media alike, DJ Lance Rock and the cast of YO GABBA GABBA! are heading back on the road to play to enthusiastic fans on a 60-city tour across North America as Kia Motors Presents YO GABBA GABBA!

One of today’s hottest live shows for families will make stops at top theaters, arenas and amphitheaters throughout North America, scheduled to start August 27 in Bethel, NY and ending in Dallas, TX on December 12, 2010.

In addition to entertaining both the young and the young-at-heart, the Gabba gang also will participate in various community service projects aimed at building homes and hope in the cities they visit during their four month journey across North America.
