The highly anticipated Yo Gabba Gabba! Live tour is about to kick off and in celebration of the occasion Filter US Recordings is releasing a second installment of indie friendly kiddie TV tunes aptly titled, Yo Gabba Gabba! Music Is Awesome! Volume 2.

Now fans can enjoy a new, super radical compilation of music featured from Seasons I, II & III, YO GABBA GABBA! MUSIC IS AWESOME! VOLUME 2 hits shelves nationwide on August 31, 2010, timed with the launch of the live tour, KIA Motors Presents YO GABBA GABBA! LIVE! THERE’S A PARTY IN MY CITY. Jam-packed with Super Music Friends & all of the songs you’ve grown to love. A deluxe edition featuring bonus songs from the hit series will also be available on iTunes. Fans can get a sampling of the record with a free download of our favorite Super Music Friends – Weezer’s track “All My Friends Are Insects” at www.yogabbagabba.com/freedownload

If you’re planning on checking out the show live, there are also some deals to be had in various cities throughout the US and Canada, though unfortunately not in NYC (at least not yet). Here’s what I know about so far:
