I think stueym and I are the only parent/child combos that are here independent of one another. (That is, we both submit individually on our own. It's not like Madi and JoS, where JoS records Madi's songs.)

That said, I have no children that I know about that are into music.

:P - I'm glad to see impact on the next generation, is all. Although my biological daughters are a bit young yet, they've always known me to be in the Fights, and Killer D is my recently fostered "son" - heh. Kids rock.

Eldest son's in a band http://www.officialtaylormade.co.uk/, I have know idea why he doesn't fight (he's the one with the talent after all) my step-son was in a band, but that fell apart, then he got married etc...

In fact I even once walked past a guitar so it just goes to show...?

My wife plays cajon, my step-daughters dad plays percussion for Tania Libertad (based in Mexico) though they toured Europe last year...

And I like to waffle...

My three nephews have all been in bands (locally) and I keep trying to get them to get involved fight-wise.

In fact I'm the least musical out of my entire family....??? (though that probably shows :) )

Hey, not bad! But that is possibly the third worst band name I have ever come across - and they have also mis-spelt 'available' on their web-site, in big letters. Education is important :)

I have been accused of fathering both Blue and Ruiner, of Klownhole.

Neither of these rumors are true, to the best of my knowledge.

My nephew just auditioned for a spot as in-town drummer for Nya Jade, a Bay Area singer-songwriter. Apparently she has a road band but is looking for some people for occasional in-town dates.

Haven't heard if he got the gig or not yet, but it's a start...

If we're talking about families...

My mum's sister's son(my cousin) is a drummer in a band called bigcashprizes. They're signed to an indie label, I believe.

My father's brother's son(my other cousin) is a bassist in a band called Placer. Their single is available on tesco.com ;)

Both are doing pretty well and getting about the UK on tours.

My father's sister's son is also in a band as a drummer, but he's not doing anything 'proper', that I know about.

One day we will get together and form an amazing Super Family Band.

My sister used to be a punk drummer in the lower east side. But now she's a painter.

My sister is an emo/punk thing. Who plays piano.

Must be a thing with punks and key instruments.
