Revved Up & Ready To Rock! Video Librarian Review

Married performers Katie O'Sullivan-Borne (Princess Katie) and Steve Borne (Racer Steve) bring a quirky combo of fairy-tale ambience, puppets, skits, animation, and upbeat, positive music to this live concert for children.  Featuring Princess on vocals, Racer on guitar, "Crash" and "Space" on drums and bass, and a trio of "Merry Horn Players from the Woods, " the 10-song set in Revved Up *& Ready to Rock! includes the B-52's-style "Tell Them How You Feel" dealing with emotions, funk-based "Hot Shot" about making friends, "Hey Claire" on sharing, and the rock-ishi "Jeans!"  In addition to the tunes, the festivities include visits from puppet assistant West and dragon Peyton, dancing (two adults from the audience break into a spirited swing routine during "Holidays!"_, and clips of cartoon versions of the main duo.  The Bornes, who started out doing their routine for kids at hospitals across NYC, put on a cheerful, high-energy show that appears to be a real hit with the young audience.  DVD extras include a behind-the-scenes look at the band and a "Jeans!" animated music video.  Recommended.

Valley Kids Review of Revved Up & Ready To Rock!

Princess Katie & Racer - Steve Revved Up & Ready to Rock DVD

Princess Katie & Racer Steve are good on CD, but kids go nuts seeing them live.  They put on a goofy and fun show, complete with the titular costumes, silly jokes, puppets, and more and this live concert DVD does a nice job of capturing the shows' energy.  It's got most of the band's best songs (''Go Go Go,'' ''Tell Them How You Feel,'' etc.), lots of between-song banter with Katie (who has a background in improv theater) and the rest of the band, and an even better musical performance than usual, complete with a very tight horn section. Plus: puppets! www.princessracer.com

Celebrity Baby Blog - People.com - Reviews Revved Up & Ready To Rock!

"We have been great fans of Princess Katie & Racer Steve for quite some time now.  Their first CD, Songs For The Coolest Kids, as well as their second CD, Fast & Feisty, are favorites in our house.  We are also fortunate enough to live in New York City and can regularly attend their concerts.

For those of you who can't make it to a PKRS concert on a whim, the duo's newest DVD, Princess Katie & Racer Steve LIVE!  Revved Up & Ready To Rock! gives you a taste of what you're missing.  Featuring ten of their best songs from their first two albums, the live concert DVD also includes cool bonus features like the hilarious PKRS News feature and a behind the scenes look at the band.  This DVD is especially great for the winter months when it's too cold for your kid to run his energy off in the park.  Pop in this DVD and he'll dance his way straight to bedtime!

If you have a child who likes music, this DVD is a great investment."
