"WOW! IN LOVE with the new disc from Mista Cookie Jar 'Ultramagnetic Universal Love Revolution'! AMAZINGLY FRESH! I listened to it twice, back-to-back ... it's THAT good!"
--Robert Drake, WXPN Kids Corner of Philadelphia

"Ultramagnetic Universal Love Revolution" is the sophomore release of the LA kindie family band, Mista Cookie Jar & The Chocolate Chips. In continuation of their first album, "The Love Bubble," the band fuses audio style and visual lyricism, tradition and innovation--uniting a rockstar excitement with the warmth of family music. The album features 13 new tracks as well as a 16 page booklet with lyrics, song by song insight by Mista Cookie Jar, as well as pictures and art on each page for the whole family to enjoy. Complete with more major Chocolate Chip anthems, such as "Inner Child Rock" & "Lover Not a Fighter," as well as fun & poetic character forays such as "Sleepwalker" & "Call Me Mista Cookie Jar," the album has an eclectic & catchy mix to delight, adrenalize, and fill your kids (and, yes, you too) with wonder.

Check out our first single of the album, Happy Place:

Here it is people!! "Happy Place" Official Music Video





Here's a little glimpse into our life here in Venice, California. All these people are our real friends. This is our real home. These are our real clothes and yes, I own all those sunglasses, lol. Our close friend filmed the video for next to nothing and much of it was shot on my iPad. We don't always smash a piƱata and it's not always sunny here, but the love and the music, you can bet, will always shine bright. We hope you enjoy!



"Happy Place" is the 1st official music video release off our 2nd LP, Ultramagnetic Universal Love Revolution (due out, May 8th!!). Filmed in Santa Monica and Venice, California, this video was inspired by our regular dinner-party-jam-sessions with some of our closest friends and family.

Gregory Brown of Gypsy Twins: Ski Like a Ninja!

Enjoy this beautiful ditty, Ski Like a Ninja, on iTunes. It's by my friend Gregory Brown of the Gypsy Twins! An ode to the late great skier, Shane McConkey.

"Inspired by Shane to always have fun, I wrote "Ski Like A Ninja" for those of us struggling to maintain our inner little-kid-on-a-pow-day priorities in life, a struggle I'm familiar with all too often...keep your spirits charging toward what you want in life, keep flying and keep laughing...support the Shane McConkey Foundation. Hope everyone enjoys the song..."

Kindiefest 2012!

Guess who's performing at Kindiefest this year.....??? Mista Cookie Jar & the Chocolate Chips! I cannot begin to tell you how excited we are! I attended the event last year and met so many amzing artist, movers, and shakers in the independent kids music scene. Where the internet seems to connect so many Kindie artists together, one gets a true sense of community at Kindiefest. I guess nothing is quite like live music or a face to face conversation, LOL. It is a true honor to be invited to perform for such a brilliant event.

We will rock the stage in Littlefield, Brooklyn Saturday, April 28. Others performing at the event include Casper Babypants (with Chris Bellew of Presidents of the United States), KBC Kids (with Kobie of US3), Gustafer Yellowgold, Dan Zanes, and many more!

For details, here is the Kindiefest website.
