I know that this video has been posted all over the web and these kids have been covered by the Post-Gazette but I wanted to post the video here in case you haven’t seen it yet.

The Pop Rocks are a group of middle school kids who formed a group while attending a summer music camp at The Davis School of Guitar Performance which is located in Harmony, Butler County. If you visit Harmony stop in and say hi to the folks who run the Bottlebrush Gallery located in downtown Historic Harmony.

These kids have a great lyrics and performance all set to the tune of Pat Benetar‘s Heartbreaker.

WYEP Rock the Block

WYEP is one of the biggest lovers of Pittsburgh. This is a radio station that has been a labor of love by some amazing Pittsburgh music lovers for many year. I am actually sitting in Oh Yeah listening to WYEP as I type this. This radio station is most definitely a cause that is worthy of your dollars and this is a great event. I attended Rock the Block in 2006 and had a great time.

$35 gets you food, drink, and an outdoor concert from Cracker and Pittsburgh’s own Donora.

WYEP Rock the Block – Saturday, September 6, 2008 8pm-Midnight

Some of my favorite food establishments will be providing the food – big Burrito Restaurant Group, East-End Food Co-Op, Enrico’s Tazza D’Oro, Harris Grill, Point Brugge Cafe.
