A concert featuring dozens of sock puppets, dancing critters and high energy songs about a cereal-lovin’ vampire – have the most popular music clubs in town resorted to children’s entertainment?

No, this concert is meant for all ages, not just the kiddies.

Tonight at 40 Watt Club, the trio rock band Uncle Monsterface will open for Harry and the Potters as part of the Potterface Wizardmonster Rock Tour 2006.

This marks the first tour for the members of Monsterface, who also plan to hit Atlanta, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia before the end of the month.

Marty Allen, who said his part in the band is mainly to “jump and yell,” knows Uncle Monsterface is not your typical rock group.

“I would describe our music as the love child of Journey and They Might be Giants,” he said. “We play rock songs about things like lobsters and prairie dogs and Count Chocula.”

Other unique elements to the show include inflatable guitars and lobsters, a sock puppet show that lasts the entirety of the concert, a video projection of giant dancing prairie dogs and crazy antics with megaphones.

“We have the most fun in this band,” Allen said. “A lot of times people don’t know what to make of us at first. (It’s like) a children’s television show gone wrong.”

However, Allen said everyone usually gets really into the show and enjoys it once the initial confusion wears off.

The other two members of the band, whose first full-length album “Letter Green (I Love You)” recently came out, include Daniel Brennan on rock guitar – an electric guitar – and James Bernardinelli on the keytar – a guitar with piano keys on it instead of strings that was popular in the ’80s.

All three members know each other personally from working on an award-winning cable access TV program called “The Top Shelf Variety Show,” which featured a mix of music, film, live performances and its own brand of comedy.
