What Would Dad Do, Dad of the Week: DJ Lance Rock


DJ Lance Rock is so cool, he was at Coachella this weekend.

If you don’t know who Yo Gabba Gabba is, or Dj Lance Rock is…you need to get with the program. DJ Lance Rock is the star of the hit preschool TV show Yo Gabba Gabba! DJ Lance Rock (Lance Robertson) is supported by a cast of colorful characters, including: Brobee, the little green one, Foofa, the pink flower bubble, Muno, the red Cyclops, Toodee, the blue cat-dragon and Plex, the yellow robot.  They all live in his magic boombox.

Wildbrain Entertainment producer of Yo Gabba Gabba are also affiliated with the goofy band the Aquabats. In a Christmas show in Pamona, CA in 201, they had DJ Lance join them, and did a little set featuring the origin of DJ Lance Rock: Here it is:

So In all honesty, I’m unsure if DJ Lance is really a dad, but in my eyes he is like a father to all of the characters that live in his boombox: Brobee, the little green one, Foofa, the pink flower bubble, Muno, the red Cyclops, Toodee, the blue cat-dragon and Plex, the yellow robot.

Here’s a little more info about DJ Lance, the Los Angeles-based musician, DJ, and actor, Lance Robertson.

Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, Robertson is a 1983 graduate of Hazelwood East High School. He was the vocalist for a local electronic band “My Other Self” in the 1990s, and he was the owner of a record store called Deep Grooves. Robertson later relocated to Los Angeles. While working a day job at Amoeba Records, he became well known in the local indie rock scene through his band, “The Raymakers”. During this time, he met Scottie Schultz of the Orange County indie pop band “Majestic”, and they eventually played a couple of shows together. Years later, when Schultz was co-creating the show Yo Gabba Gabba!, Lance was asked to serve as host.

In conjunction with appearing on Yo Gabba Gabba!, Robertson tours with The Aquabats performing kid-friendly DJ sets and dancing with the monster “cast” of the series.

DJ LANCE IS AWESOME!
