The two John’s are having a homecoming show of sorts this weekend (July 11) at the Prospect Park bandshell where they will be performing tunes from their massively popular children’s titles, No!, Here Come The ABC’s, Here Come The 123’s, and perhaps previewing a few tracks from their forthcoming new children’s album, Here Comes Science.

“Here Comes Science” is due to hit store shelves on September 1. Like the other entries in the series, last year’s math-themed “Here Come the 123s” and 2005’s “Here Come the ABCs,” the set will be released as a dual CD/DVD, and will include music videos for each of the album’s songs.

“It’s not drastically different,” multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Linnell told LiveDaily last year about writing music for children instead of adults. “There are a lot of similarities. We bring very much the same attitude to the kids’ stuff. The main difference, I’d say, is we possibly don’t dwell on death imagery. There’s less, what we would consider, inappropriate stuff. But the typical vibe and the range of subjects are not that different.” LiveDaily.com
