This article originally appears on Boston Band Crush ). This story goes out to all of the local housewives reading Boston Band Crush. In a turn of cute local stories that usually appear in the town newspaper, The Barroom Heroes, no not the ones from LA, not the ones from Germany, a local band of young kids (ages 9-12) who best pick a new band name, have had their discriminatory plight covered by The Herald recently. The kids were having a tough time getting a gig because of their ages, but after The Herald ran a story, it seems that everyone is excited to give them a little stage time. They also got backstage passes to meet Dropkick Murphys and Aerosmith. Ah, to be young and repressed.

I couldn’t find a web page, photos, or music to post here, so you’ll just have to look at what the Herald has got.
