Tween Music Scene

Thursday, August 09, 2007

Soundcheck finds out what it's like to be a very young music fan in the U.S. and across the pond. First, we speak with Sam Killcoyne, the 15-year-old concert promoter behind London's inaugural Underage Festival. His event will bring 5000 teenagers -- and no adults -- to London's Victoria Park tomorrow. And later, we talk with Care Bears on Fire guitarist Sophie Kasakove and drummer Izzy Schappell-Spillman about getting a head start in punk rock. And, MTVNews.com Senior Editor Jem Aswad explains the bands, venues and parents that make up the local 'tween scene.

Guests:

Jem Aswad, Sophie Kasakove, Sam Killcoyne and Izzy Schappell-Spillman

This is cool, and scary at the same time. See all my younger days was spent trying to get into >= 18 places (and succeeding most of the time) now I gotta do the same nonsense to get hear cool music from younger people because now I'm too old.

I was born at the wrong time...

Where is this heading? Logan's Run? in that case... renew me now, please.

I am enjoying listening to your show today. Very informative as a parent of teens.
I'm curious since the tweens and teens are playing at such a young age are they taking any protective measures against helping to stem future damage to their eardrums.
