Fri 08 Aug 2007Pre-teen spiritThe Tiny Masters of Today could be just another New York band, were it not for the fact that the members, siblings Ada and Ivan, are just 11 and 13 years old. The child rockers (and their dad) talk to Tony Clayton-LeaKid rock - it's either a huge mistake or, as David Bowie said about this band, "genius". Whichever way you look at, rock music made by people who can't make cheese sauce, sign cheques, drive a car or wear training bras is hardly an edifying treat. And yet pop music has been littered with kids from the get-go: in the early 1960s, you had 14-year-old Helen Shapiro scoring a Top 3 hit with her debut single, Don't Treat Me like a Child, and 15-year-old Lulu making it big with Shout.
