The kids rocked their first gig. They sounded great on all eight of their songs, and things went really smoothly. The only big problem they had was Erin's drum kit sliding on the floor when she kicked the bass drum. Every once in a while, Miah would scoot over and shove her drums back to her with his foot. The silver lining is that she now knows she can drum with her legs stretched as far out as they go! We'll be sure to pack a 'drum rug' in the gear in the future.
I had every intention of posting video of their show. I even remembered to take the video camera. The only thing I forgot? A tape to put in it. I'm pretty sure it got recorded by someone who actually managed to think of everything, so I'll see if I can get a copy and post it.
What rock show would be complete without the roadie, groupie, and FOB (friend of the band)?!? The kids brought one of each! Their roadie = the friend who loaded the van for them. He has wicked spatial relations skills. Their groupie = Miah's best friend who sat in front of the PA speaker and had ringing ears all night. That's devotion, my friends. Their FOB = Alex the vocal and guitarist's best friend, who used to play with the kids at the School of Rock. Oh! I almost forgot the audience! They played for around 30 people who were at Caffe Niche to celebrate Alex's 16th birthday. Luckily for his mother, the only pedal he'll be pushing to the metal right now is his guitar pedal!
First gig down... ready for the next!

very cool. remember the little people when you are famous!!!
Looks like they did great. I'm still trying to decide if I'm brave enough to listen to their music. Who knows, if they keep going, maybe they can have a guest spot of Yo Gabba Gabba. I know the talent producer, and I think you do too...
Yeah...knowing the talent producer didn't get me on the set when my favorite band (the Ting Tings) were on the show! Drat!
They really are pretty good already... especially considering their ages. I'll hustle up some video so you can hear them :)
Good for them! They definitely look the part.
Oh, I just wish I were there! They rock!
