For Those About To Rock!
These kids go to eleven

I was lucky enough to have started music lessons in second grade. First on violin and then piano lessons. Sure it felt like torture at the time but I can not thank my mom enough for making me stick with it. Like many teenage boys, I eventually I picked up the guitar and punished my parents for creating an amateur musician. I played in bands for the next 20 years and have some amazing memories because of it.

So parents, get your kid those drums, and buy yourself some aspirin! It's worth it. Music is a great learning experience that also happens to be incredibly liberating and fun.

Los Gauchos

Check these kids from Argentina rocking out some Iron Maiden. You've got to love the little sister in this clip. Here's an interview in Esquire about Los Gauchos.

Stairway to Heaven

I really love this clip. The kid rocks even though the guitar is as big as him. Watch this amazing kid play the entire song here.

Johnny R. - Waiting for the Sun

This 8 year old plays in an all kid band called 'The Bolts." He performs the Jayhawks' song Waiting for the Sun with a sweetness no adult could reproduce.

El Cumbanchero

This family can really pick some blue grass. Any good kids jamming clip should start with a few "wait wait" moments like this one.

Japanese Battle of the Kid Bands

After watching this clip I decided I needed to move to Japan ASAP! The full length version can be viewed here and it's worth it. These kids RULE!

Don't Stop Believin'

If this clip doesn't make your day you need to see a doctor. Not technically an entirely kid band but the singer is 7 and the guitar player is 9!

And Finally...

This is not a band BUT this kid definitely rocks and will no doubt take the stage one day. Please to enjoy Evan Unchained!
