So of course Lunch Money had to make a video with Belle et Bête, the puppetry troupe with whom Lunch Money ringleader Molly Ledford made a space puppet opera (or is that puppet space opera?).
The two troupes collaborated on a video for "Gingerbread Man" from Lunch Money's fine 2012 album Spicy Kid. It's cute -- the titular baked good (based on Brandon Reese's album art!) leading some of Columbia's citizens on a chase around the city. I liked it.

Kindie Week in Review: Ep. 38: The Hippopotamus is Getting Fat
My Other Other Gig: None (but look for one this week, yay!)
I'm geeked about one of my favorite bands, Lunch Money, stretching their wings (or whatever it is bands collectively stretch) and doing new things.
Especially if those new things are with puppets.
Next week is the world premiere of the space puppet musical the band has created with Belle et Bête, a South Carolina-based puppetry duo. If you are at all near the Columbia, South Carolina area next weekend (Nov. 15 & 16), please do check out the show and let this poor West Coast(-ish) guy know how it was. 'Cause otherwise I'll just have to rely on this trailer which, while it does feature Lunch Money music and puppets, won't really be like being there.
