I remember there was a punk band of pre-teens in the 80s, Old Skull (sons of musicians) who did a couple albums. One song, "Homeless", had one young'un screeching "I hate you Ronald Reagan!" at the end.
More recently in the Boston area there was and is the Mystery Tramps, who were 13-16 yrs old when they put out an EP produced by Greg Hawkes of the Cars..it helped that one of their dads knew Greg. The kids played an all ages gig at a bar and grille in Salem. All went well. Over the years "all ages" gigs have given young punk/rock fans a chance to see music (but not necessarily in bars...maybe a Legion Hall...).
Buy those kids a...root...beer!

Dropkick Murphys had ‘Tessie’.
It won’t be better than ‘Charlie on the MTA’.

Book them into a Chuck E Cheese...? Too violent.
Chuck E. Cheese's is strictly for large, rival illegal alien families to brawl at their kids' birthday parties.

“Most of the good punk songs out there are about the man keeping you down. You are not a true punk band until you’ve been shut down,”

Cigarette smoke and alcohol, late night hours, drunks - how could that be detrimental to a 9 or 10 year old? lol
To: raccoonradio
