Happy Monster Band is an American television show aired on Playhouse Disney produced by KickStart Productions and Walt Disney Television Animation, with the characters and concept created by children's book author and illustrator Don Carter.
The show centers on a group of preschool-age monsters, that being Ink (voiced by Hannah Leigh in both singing and speaking), Bluz (voiced by Joe Hawley when singing, along with Jonah Lees speaking during the first season and Jake T. Austin during the second), L.O. (voiced by Zubin Sedghi while singing and Trevor Gagnon speaking), and Frred (voiced by Rob Cantor while singing and Kurt Doss while speaking), that perform songs about friendship, love, exercising, chores, and other preschool related themes.
Season 2 centers around the world, with the band touring different countries and singing about their cultures.
Tally Hall wrote and performed all the music for Happy Monster Band, though Ross Federman and Andrew Horowitz didn't perform any songs vocally.
