Y'Know, Key Wilde Does Also Draw...
Key Wilde was an illustrator long before he recorded music for kids. So the fact that Key Wilde and Mr. Clarke shows now have some visual accompaniment makes perfect sense. A bunch of video from their Saturday show at the 92Y Tribeca have been posted to YouTube and while the mechanics of the video aren't quite worked out (check out the mouse work on the always-awesome "Rattlin' Can" after the jump), it just makes their shows even better. Their debut album Rise and Shine comes out later this summer on Little Monster Records -- here's a surprisingly nimble "Big Pet Pig" from the album.

O Well - my 12 yr old daughter Ilona was running the mac and this was our first "live run". She had everything set up perfectly but something - no fault of hers - happened to the sequence during the show so she was clicking on the menu to try and figure out where we were and what had happened. The show must go on! All in all she did a great job and we'll nail it next time out

Oh, no, Key, I totally agree -- I'm just psyched there's visuals to go along with the music!

Thanks Stefan!
I think the visuals will really be fun once we get the tech figured out and the best way to do that is to run it live. I didn't think you were being critical and I hope I didn't sound defensive. Besides, kids are a forgiving audience and appreciate the humor in things going wrong the same way I do.
