Best Preteen Band

Loose Cannons

This quintet of four 11-year-olds and their 9-year-old keyboardist exploded onto the scene three years ago from Natural Ear Music Camp. Their repertoire of Texas and roots-rock plus classic Sixties songs is impressive – just listen to Daniel whoop on "Lucille." Still, it's their miniset of Roky Erickson and 13th Floor Elevators songs, recently performed for Roky himself, that make them the coolest and realest kid band around.
