Rock 535

 In the genre of pop rock, 535 is a unique band. Julian Piccione and Parker Landis completed their group last year when Griffin, Parker's younger brother joined.All this sounds pretty normal until you realize that Parker is the oldest member of 535 - at only 11 years old. Parker is the lead guitarist and vocalist. Griffin, 10, plays bass guitar, which he learned when he joined, and beating away on the drums is 10-year-old Jullian, who first started playing on his dad's drum kit. These young performers first entered Bay Meadows Elementary School's talent show, but when the talent show was cancelled, the boys were invited to perform at the school's annual spaghetti dinner. Word spread that they were performing, and their first audience grew to 400 people. Friends and family were amazed after hearing them perform the hit, "Mony Mony." This launched their career as 535. Even though the boys are only 5th and 6th graders, the boys have a say in everything, and they make sure kids their age can relate to their lyrics. Right now, the boys of 535 are excited about their new CD, which contains 10 songs and a host of new material. Before the official release, promo copies were given away during shows. Kids were asking for them long before the CD was available in stores. Audiences are amazed to find that these three young rockers play their own instruments and sing live. So prepare to be blown away when you watch them perform. They have an incredible bond onstage (and off), and their highly energetic beat pumps up any crowd.
