Family Friendly: Wonder Works picks band, The Boogers, for March show
The Boogers will perform in Oak Park.
The Boogers are at it again. The rock band for “picky” kids has a new album, “Extractum Victoris.” Families can hear tunes from it when the Boogers perform at Wonder Works, 6445 W. North Ave., Oak Park, 4 p.m. Sunday, March 10.
Original songs on that new CD include, “Give Me Some Pancakes” and “The Self Esteem Movement Let Me Down.”
“The album was just released in December and it’s been named one of the top kids’ music albums by about.com’s kids’ music expert,” said Boogers’ founder Paul Crowe, better known as Crusty Booger. “It was featured on NPR’s ‘All Things Considered,’ as well.”
Crowe, who has a Ph.D. in developmental psychology, loves performing for families because, “There’s almost no pretence with children,” he said. “You see the sheer unadulterated joy. I also really love seeing the parents and the kids having a great time together.”
Tickets are $8 for members, $11 for nonmembers. Reservations are required.
