Our fascination with the entire aura of rock music can be traced back to when we were toddlers, growing up with such gems as Alvin and the Chipmunks and Gumby. Both shows were geared strongly towards the musical coordination and artistic exploration of young kids and we were hooked from the start.
Our musical journey officially began at age 11 when we saw Richard Linklater’s movie, School of Rock, for the first time. Seeing Jack Black in that role was incredibly entertaining. However, the aspect of the movie that really excited us was that the kids were the same age as we were. They were incredible both on and off the stage. We figured, if they could do it, then why couldn’t we? Not to mention, the doors of perception had been opened. All we had while growing up to that point were shitty NOW CD’s and overly-accessible media. And here Jack’s character was exposing his pupils to some of the coolest music we had ever heard. At that age, we didn’t even know it existed. Our minds were blown. We’d found our calling.
