If you’re into rock and roll chances are The Robotix are a band whose musicians are kids you wouldn’t mind jamming with until midnight in their parents garage. Don’t let their age fool you.
“We’re pretty good,” said lead singer Angelina Baez. She may be right. Despite every member of the band being under fifteen years old the group’s popularity is on the rise. Some members have reached what some might say is celebrity status. Twelve year old Japanese guitarist Yuto Miyazawa has played on the Ellen show and rocked on stage with Ozzy Osbourne.
“I like playing in a band with kids my age,” said Miyazawa.
On drums is eight year old Logan “Robot” Gladden. He may be in elementary school but he’s a master at keeping the beat. Gladden believes it’s not just the music that makes this band unique.
“I have a lot of fun with this band because I think it’s fun that we get people from all over the world,” said Gladden.
“You sort of become a different person when you go on stage,” said guitar player Brendan James. “It’s just a major adrenaline rush.”
The Robotix have released their new single and will be releasing their new album later this year.
