Album Notes

Who are the Deedle Deedle Dees?

The Deedle Deedle Dees are an educational rock band based in Brooklyn, NY. Since October 2003, the band has been entertaining family audiences with songs inspired by history and science -- "Underground Railroad," "Nellie Bly," "Rancher Ants" -- as well as simple movement-based tunes like "Play Your Hand" and "Vegetarian T-Rex." The Dees current line-up features Ulysses S. Dee (AKA Lloyd Miller, teacher) on upright bass, rhythm guitar, and vocals; Innocent Dee (AKA Anand Mukherjee, teacher) on lead guitar and vocals; Booker Dee (AKA Chris Johnson, teacher, choir director) on keyboards, banjo, ukulele, and accordion; and Otto von Dee (AKA Ely Levin, writer) on drums.

The Dees have recently finished recording basic tracks for their new album, tentatively titled Dee-Mocracy. The band's first all-American history album, Dee-Mocracy will include concert favorites like "Bring 'Em In" (about Satchel Paige) and "Little Red Airplane" (about Amelia Earhart) as well as brand-new compositions requested by fans like "Party Girl" (about Eleanor Roosevelt) and "Growl Growl" (about the 13-year-old kid who designed the Alaskan flag).
