Todd McHatton lives the life of a typical superhero, filled with love and joy and happiness. His formerly secret lair is a solar powered recording studio filled with puppets. He enjoys fruit, comic books, laughing, and dancing in circles with his children. His eyebrows are pointy. Grass Stained Twilight was his first collection of stories, pictures and poems (as far as you know) - It's also a pretty good album. His second record came out July 21st, 2010. It's called Sundays at the Rocket Park and it's awesome. The follow up, Galactic Champions of Joy, came out September 21st, 2011 and spawned the #1 hit song "I Think I'm A Bunny". He also made a download only holiday record in 2009 called Christmas Songs, and has added a new song to it each year since.

If you've visited mchatton.com you know you get to hear some songs before the "official" versions come out. Usually they're a little, sometimes a lot, rougher versions - but they might be completely rocking, so you've got that going for you.

Reviews

Todd McHatton's Galactic Champions of Joy is a wickedly addictive bouillabaisse of family-friendly kindie 'tude and old-school pop geekery, rolled into fine layers and stacked into infinity. Dadnabbit

If parts of Galactic Champions of Joy feel a little bit like a daydream, that's entirely appropriate. The imaginative life of a child can be every bit as important as the concrete day-to-day details, maybe more so, so an album that dives deep into those ideas should be valued. Most families will enjoy at least part of it, but some families will probably find this to be one of their most beloved albums. Recommended. Zooglobble
