Noise, not Music

Some friends and I took our kids to the Harry Potter book release party in Harvard Square tonight. There was a free concert. The opening band was ridiculous. It was a three kids between 5 and 8 years old, who couldn't play any instruments. The older boy wailed on a bass guitar and sang off key to ~3000 people in Harvard Yard. I should mention that it really gave me flashbacks to the old days at Fender's Ballroom in Long Beach, CA. (Links to video from Fender's as I remember it and a list of shows--some of which I remember going to.)

Here's a link to their website, so you can get a flavor for their "work." Unfortunately, they were even more off-key and off-lyric tonight.
