Saturday was a milestone moment for a group of neighborhood teenage boys whose passion is music. The two of them have been pursuing a life that the internet has redefined, the life of a rock musician. This lifestyle has changed dramatically from the way it was only a decade ago. In fact the passion has actually come full circle from where it was three decades ago when the punk scene was emerging.
The defining moment for these two was their involvement in a music project with the San Pedro punk-rock icon Mike Watt. His first band the "Reactionaries" recorded their first album in 1979. To commemorate 30 years since it's creation, the S.P. community formed a collection of bands to re-record the album.
These two boys were chosen to play bass and drums in two of the bands. This is a small account of their experience of being kids in a grown-up world. I found the experience to be challenging, to walk the fence between a snapshot designed and a candid moment.
