  Robert Schneider, the mind behind one of indie-rock's seminal music groups, The Apples in stereo, will be releasing his debut children's music album under the character name Robbert Bobbert for the Little Monster Records label on February 17, 2009.
  
  The album, entitled Robbert Bobbert & The Bubble Machine will  include a humorous comic book designed by artist Todd Webb, introducing kids and parents to his inventor/scientist character, Robert Bobbert.
  
  "Recording music for children is an amazing and fun experience,” Schneider explains. “It forces me to be extra creative because you are writing for an extra creative audience. Kids' ears are very tuned in to unusual sounds, so I threw many of my regular instruments out the window in order to come up with a whole new palette of colorful noises and wanted to make super-pop music that kids will like to sing along with.” Schneider tests his tunes with live audiences and his son Max.
  
  Schneider has won a huge cult following not only for his musical career including two recent performing guest appearances on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report, but also for his exceptional mathematical mind. He’s twice been a featured speaker at the Mathematical Association of America's bi-annual event MathFest and created a new "The Non-Pythagorean Musical Scale" based on natural logarithms. The Apples’ two most recent CDs for grownups - New Magnetic Wonder and Electronic Projects For Musicians, have been co-released by Elijah Woods’ Simian Records label through Yep Roc Records.

  "Bobbert’s catchy songs remind you of the Beatles in a zinged out way with a mix of the Oompa Loompas' catchy rhyming. The illustrations of Bobbert are fantastic.”
  – A Child Grows in Brooklyn

  “Even though kid music should be first and foremost about pleasing the kids, it’s a relief when some of our favorite bands put their toe into the genre so parents don’t have to hold their ears while the little ones get down.”- Babble.com

  "It's as if The Beatles and The Shins morphed into a one-man-mad-scientist-band (it's the lab coat) with a bubble machine as a sidekick.” – Out with the Kids

  In 2007, Schneider made his debut on the big screen in the Mike Myers' vehicle "The Love Guru" where he enjoyed a cameo role and producing a song for the film. The Apples in stereo's two most recent CDs for indie grownups - New Magnetic Wonder and Electronic Projects For Musicians, have been tremendous successes and are co-released through actor Elijah Wood's Simian Records, Yep Roc Records and The Elephant 6 Recording Company.
