I was looking in Time Out New York's kids section for fun things to do with Olivia and we found a cool free concert at Bryant Park by a band called Starfish.
So we packed up the car and heading into manhattan. 9 month pregant women hate walking up and down subway strairs in 90 plus degree heat. Who knew.
We arrived at the park just before the band from New Jersey was about to start their set. On the nice shady part of the park there were seats set up and a row of mini chairs were set up for pint sized rockers. Sitting in the front row with the kids was a bald guy named Stingray. He was the lead singer and he had tons of energy and enthusiasm as he, Ant Farm, Dr Yes, Moose, and Grateful Dave rocked out with an hours worth of awesome music. My favorite song was the kind of Primus sounding "My name is No!"
The preschoolers were bopping around as were all their adults. They intertwined lots of references to everyone from ACDC to The Clash to Cream. It was our first taste of Kindie rock but not our last.
Check out Starfish for yourself at their website
