Who has kids that are in a band or have been?


My son was majorly into playing in a band and recording music. He spent a lot of money (with help from dad) on equipment and recording fees. They recorded a full length cd and had an album release show. Then covid hit. All of the venues shut down. During that time, the drummer got married, the lead singer lost interest, and one member passed away from a fluke accident. My son plays lead guitar.

It was a fun time. Going to shows, etc. I figured the chances of them making it big were a long shot, but gotta try.

Anyone have stories to share?

They recorded a few low budget videos. Below is one of them. Recorded in their basement. Garrett said he was soaked in beer by the end of the video. Lol.

The sound system for my kids' band has been my home theater system since the band broke up; it all worked out well for dad and you can't beat the JBL stage monitors (horn mid/treble 15" for mains and 15"x2 for rear;12"x2 for center channel)  for movie soundtracks!

Oh and I forgot about the 18" sub with its 1500 watt amp (size of a small refrigerator), not to mention the Mackie powered mixer and Crown amp that drive the whole thing.  Great for making use of the discrete channel outs from the Oppo disc player.
