It’s that time again! Last week was a crazy week which prevented me from posting my weekly Rock Band Land story. As a bonus, this feature also includes a corresponding song by Rainbow Beast and the Rock Band Land band the Serpent Swimmers.

Today’s story and song seems fitting, especially for those who were greeted by Old Man Winter this week.

Artist(s): Rainbow Beast and the Rock Band Land band the Serpent Swimmers.

Title: “Ice Girl”

What’s it all about? A superheroine! Ice cream! Lava!

“Ice Girl” tells the tale of a young girl who was trapped under a frozen lake for many years, and emerges with an amazing superpower. She commits her life to helping others and her power evolves.

Ready for the song? Be prepared to be rocked with sounds reminiscent of The Kinks, the Small Faces and the Animals. This song surrounds simple pop styling with copious amounts of fuzz and plenty of riffs.

“Ice Girl” is featured on Rainbow Beast’s debut children’s album Tales from the Monstrosity Scrolls. All the songs on the album were written in collaboration with elementary-school aged kids. You can listen to clips, as well as purchase the album through Bandcamp.

TitleAlone At Home with A Bus

What’s It All About?: Brothers and sisters are home alone for the first time when a bus crashes into their house. The kids remove the bus with an ingenious invention, but must explain the domestic destruction to their parents. Below will find the story and the song.

Why is there a story and a song? The story was written in Rock Band Land, a creativity program for elementary-aged kids. The kids come together, form a band and collaborate ideas that form a story. Once the story is written, it is turned into a song and the kids participate by lending their voices for a rockstar recording produced by members of the band Rainbow Beast (who are also Rock Band Land teachers).
