Update #1: Sirius XM Album Preview and finishing the record!
Hey Folks,
Thanks so much to everyone who's already become a part of the Project. We are so psyched to get the new show out there. But first things first...
We had an amazing visit last week to Sirius XM Radio in Washington DC, where we previewed 5 songs from Radio Jungle to their National Radio audience on the Absolutely Mindy Show. She set up this hilarious call-in, inviting kids to call in and critique the tracks one by one. The kids were just spot on, including asking Jason to use more "pitches" and of course checking in to make sure that there was a rainbow in our song about colors.
We finished mixing the new record, Radio Jungle, with Andy Baldwin of Rola Pola Studios (see pic below). Mastering theese week...
10 Days Left! Kickstarter has been great so far, we are 70% there and still getting the word out.
Thanks so much!
Jacob and Jason

Project By
Connected as Jacob Stein (699 friends)
THE POP UPS began as a personal challenge for two Brooklyn musicians looking to make something that their friends could feel good about enjoying with their young families. Jason Rabinowitz and Jacob Stein set the bar high when they decided to write and record a really good album in just a week in Jason’s home studio. Calling themselves The Pop Ups, they distributed the demos to friends and were overwhelmed by the positively exuberant responses from both parents and kids.
