Kidrockers returns to The Echo on Sunday, Oct. 4 with performances by The Damselles, as well as Quazar & the Bamboozled.
"Kidrockers"? Yep, it's exactly what it sounds like: An afternoon show geared toward young music fans -- age 3 to 13 -- and their parents.
OK, go ahead and roll your eyes at the hipster parents forcing their kids to a rock show. But I personally think it's a pretty cool idea. First of all, exposing your kids to live music is never a bad thing (well, unless it's Miley Cyrus). And getting your kids excited about good music is never a bad thing either. Obviously you can't take your kids to a late night 21-and-over show, so this represents a rare opportunity to head to The Echo, during the day, with your young kid in tow. (Those of you without kids have no idea how liberating this sounds.)
Matt Dwyer is hosting the Oct. 4 show, which takes place from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. at The Echo (1822 Sunset). Tix are $9 in advance (here) or $12 at the door.
