Kindiefest 2010: Rocknoceros

I'm pretty sure that even though the main room at Littlefield for Kindiefest was reasonably full for the Saturday showcase by DC-area band Rocknoceros, it was probably one of the least crowded shows for the band. It typically sells out its weekly shows at Jammin' Java. So even though their set was a bit shortened by some technical difficulties, and they didn't have nearly the number of preschoolers bopping around as they typically do, they put on a good show. I was particularly struck by the economy of motion of the band, particularly Coach Cotton, who was always right on time with the percussive accents. They're, like, the Spoon of kids music.

Regarding Texas, I have lots of family in Texas and would love to be closer to them, but it's likely not in the cards any time soon. Sad, because I miss them.
Hope you'll return to the Rocknoceros community some time...
all the best,Coach
That being said, I have seen the fellows of Rocknoceros in many different venues in many different season across their homebase area, and as recently as two weeks ago. They always take the time to visit with the kids who linger after a gig - high-fives and handstamps all around, marveling over gifted artwork, and embracing any wee folk who needs a hug. There's a reason little fans come decked out in rock-alike gear. Rocknoceros is not only a local band, they are local guys who grew up here and value their audience as friends. I don't care how big they get, they'll always be *our* Rocknoceros.
As far as we are concerned, we LOVE Rocknoceros!
