Bungee Jumping Cows Performances

The Bungee Jumpin’ Cows play fun, cool, hard-driving, funny, and original music. Their performance is a feast of visual imagery with wild characters, crazy costumes, audience participation and fun shenanigans. Their musically creative and lyrically clever songs encompass a wide variety of energetic styles, including rock, funk, pop, surf and rap. These talented musicians, teachers, and vocalists have pioneered a brand of kids’ music that’s not just for kids. At a BJC evening show, you’ll see a throng of kids of all ages singing and dancing at the front of the stage, while adults all around are cracking up at the lyrics and antics. This is family entertainment at its’ best (don’t tell anybody, but the songs are all educational “science rock” too).
Be warned that this six-piece rock band is not like other “children’s music”. It’s really family music, because all ages enjoy it. Their clever songs about weird, fun, intriguing and the sometimes “gross” aspects of science include such topics as: rainforest, dinosaur extinction, air cycle, frogs, rock types, chemistry of fire, laws of physics, sharks, evolution, plate tectonics, ecology, worms, bloodsucking bug friends, tornados, fungi, vultures, spiders and banana slugs.

“There is so much talent and charisma in your group. The only thing I can think of that compares with the kids’ reaction to your show is the way my sister and I reacted to the Beatles.”!
-Peter Fox, parent of a 4 & 6 year old

“By far the most successful parent-child evening event the school has ever hosted. Thank you for performing with such energy and great professionalism. Our parents discovered that their kids are ROCKERS!”
-Marian Marshall, elementary teacher
