Circus of Fleas Album Review

Perfect timing for school holidays arrived the new CD from FleaBITE entitled Circus of Fleas. Adult-friendly children’s music made right here in New Zealand that keeps my kids happy for hours. It’s a kooky CD with each song telling its own story that they are sure to remember, Especially my 7-year-old son who advised his class that he’s “never going to sit under a poo tree!”

FleaBITE was born from the producer of Fatcat & Fishface who give a distinctive kiwi flavour, which has this reviewer reminiscing of sitting, by the radio on a Sunday morning as a child waiting for Spike Milligan to entertain me. FleaBITE continues the tradition of funny, entertaining and original music for children and is perfect for those long trips in the car heading on a holiday.

Stating the album off is the Title track Circus of Fleas, which caught the ears of my kids right away, keeping them hooked for the whole CD, which is a rare miracle. Even through it’s a album targeted at children, Musically it’s a brilliant mix of rock, country, funk and even a grooving reggae beat with Call Me Up that is surprisingly catchy.

I recommend getting this CD if you want something more musically intelligent for you children that’ll keep them entertained while not subjecting them to the repetitious kids music that is out there (You know what I’m talking about).

As they say, fleaBITE is guaranteed to get under your skin and have you itching for more!

I’ll leave you with another wonderful line from my boy while listening to this album. 

“Mum, you’re my sweetie pie, Aye”? Gold!
