The Sippy Cups aren’t coy about their influences: their album cover, with the title Electric Storyland and the blacklight-ready graphics, says it all. The San Francisco-based kids' band is all about re-capturing 60s psychedelic rock, minus those un-parent-friendly drug references (“Daddy, why does the man want to be sedated?”).  If your family has a thing for Sergeant Pepper, Jimi Hendrix or Syd Barrett, Sippy Cups songs like “Magic Toast” will be right up your alley.  After the jump, download the catchy, trippy track “Springtime Fantastic,” which vaguely reminds us of Ben Folds Fives’ “Kate.” (In a good way.)
