Kiddy Bands That Weren't TOTALLY Shite...

[Dubversion]

So does no-one remember Old Skull?

i didn't till you reminded me..

 

[The Groke]

No because they made a mockery of live music. Tim's voice sounded like it never broke though, which helps their case here.

I liked a few of their tunes but I can't think of many worse live bands with more success.

that's me told.

You're not allowed to do that - that means it isn't your birthday anymore and you don't get any presents

Kitty Daisy & Lewis are bloody great..

They seem to be doing quite well now. I remember seeing them live a couple of years back in one of our local pubs. The girl who plays harmonica and sings was about 10 or 11 and Lewis was about 13. She was brilliant for 11! They were doing a mix of covers and original songs and were really great live. I had a chat with Lewis, who told me he had made/built his own slide guitar He looked like a baby Elvis. They used to have a psychobilly double bass player who looked about 15. Wonder what happened to him...too old?

It's reminded me i took a load of photos of them, but i can't remember where they are. I'll try and dig them out and post a couple.

Stinky Turner was only 15 when the Cockney Rejects started out. Do they count? If so, I vote for them.

Well no, but they were quite kiddy and aimed at kiddies.

I thought Mmm Bop by Hanson was a great pop record.

Honey Bane ended up doing some hardcore pornography before moving to the States.

 

[Orang Utan]

Who's Honey Bane? It's a brilliant name!

 

[Dirty Martini]

I saw Kitty Daisy and Lewis at Lounge On The Farm in the summer, they were indeed great.

The Cowsills did some nice bubblegum stuff in the 60s, but I think they were 17/18 at the time so I'm not sure they count. Fairly tragic end for a couple of them

 

[Brockway]

Who's Honey Bane? It's a brilliant name!

Honey Bane.

 

[Lazy Llama]

There was Period Pains who were 14 when they did their first single.

And now there's Devo 2.0, who i haven't heard but the concept sounds good....

And there was that Langley Schools Project thing with scary versions of Beach Boys etc.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

the rolling scabs

Hey hang on these sound like the guys who did the song 'James' adn they are the right age.

"Die james, james I hate you, James I'll kill you, die james die "

 

[LDR]

I saw these guys when they were about 15/16 and I was very impressed by their live show.

 

[stavros]

Daphne & Celeste, "MmmBop", Shampoo, Shonen Knife, Ash, early Destiny's Child, Ash, early Busted (although their second album was better).

I also think the first Girls Aloud album (arguably their best) was made when at least some of them were still in their teens.
