I love it. I think it is great that they are expressing themselves in a typically young, male dominated artistic arena. I showed the article to Mrs. Lagomorph, she isn’t really a rocker at heart but she liked it and forwarded it to many of her friends.
Unfortunately the article may only be readable at that location for a few days.
How freaking timely for me. My mother (pushing 70) and sister have a group that has its first paying gig in a couple weeks. It’s not quite garage band music, more what’s termed World music, but my mother just had to go for it.
Hah! Several years ago I saw a story on one of those “news magazine” shows (Hard Copy? A Current Affair?) about punk band comprised of all senior citizens. Their ages ranged from about 52 (the female lead singer) up to 80+ (the drummer).
The name of the band? “One Foot In The Grave”.
The footage in the story showed them onstage, dressed “punk style”, the musicians thrashing away in the background while the frontwoman shrieked, “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”
Deja vú… saw the thread title and immediately thought of the “Angry Housewives” and their in-production hit single “Eat Your Fucking Cornflakes”. (Scroll down to “Angry Housewives”)
