| 65 million years ago, Rockosaurus Rex was the most popular rock band of the Cretaceous period. The four members of the band - Rex the lead singer and guitarist, Spike the bassist, Screech the guitarist, and Sara Tops the drummer - had met 10 years earlier in unusual circumstances. It had been a long Mesozoic era. It was hot and tropical, animals were evolving, and the supercontinent Pangea was splitting into pieces. Rex was in search of his next meal after a long day of practicing his guitar and singing. He called to his buddy Screech, who was flying around perfecting his guitar solos, and the two carnivores went off in search of food. They spied a tasty-looking triceratops in some bushes, and started to chase her. It was Sara Tops, and she took off running as fast as she could, until she reached her drum set. She hid behind it, underneath the cymbals, so neither one of them could find her. They ran and flew right past her. When the coast was clear, she couldn't resist finding a beat and pretty soon had a great groove. Spike was grazing nearby and he heard it. He grabbed his bass, found the rhythm and joined right in with her. The awesome jam attracted Rex and Screech, who by now had eaten. There was a tense moment when those two showed back up. But instead of attacking them, Rex and Screech got out their guitars and asked if they could sing and play along too. They sounded so good together, that they promised to never eat each other. 10 years later, Rockosaurus Rex was at the height of their fame and glory. One night, the band was rockin' hard to a sold out audience of over 2,000 dinosaurs down at The Swamp Club. The music was brilliant; a wall of sound emanated from the band. Suddenly, with a bright flash, a giant asteroid tore through Earth's atmosphere and exploded against the horizon. Before anyone knew what was happening, the waves of energy from the crash collided with the wall of sound, and the band was blasted into a rift in the time-space continuum. They woke up in the year 2006. With no way to get back home, and no home to go back to, they decided to just keep on rockin'. So they went into the studio and recorded the first truly rock album for kids. They are a band from another time... They have come to rock the children of Earth... |

Dinosaur band launches debut hard rock album for kids
(Austin, TX) - Rockosaurus Rex is a kids' hard rock band of four dinosaurs - Rex (guitar, vocals), Screech (guitar), Bones (bass), and Sara Tops (drums). The debut album release, The Big Bang! , features true rock versions of 21 classic children's songs, complete with wailing guitar solos and driving percussion. The Big Bang! interprets kids' music on a grown-up level. From the Queen-inspired "This Old Man" and the instrumental metal "Pop Goes the Weasel," to the anthemic sound of "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt" and the radio-friendly pop rock "Six Little Ducks," each song is arranged and performed as a valid rock band composition. This album will appeal to parents as much as kids, especially those who are sick of the typical watered-down children's music. |
