I met the girls from Care Bears On Fire (think the Rugrats if they’d lived in CBGB’s) backstage after their set and asked them a few questions:

What do you think of the idea of a festival just for kids?

Izzy (drums): "Yeah, it’s awesome. I wish there was one in New York."

Do they not have anything like this in America then?

"No, not really. If they do, it’ll be like one stage, and a few bands."

Did you enjoy your set?

"Yeah, it was awesome!"

What did you think of the crowd?

"They were great. They had so much energy, not like in America, where they just stand around and watch, and then after they come and say, like, ‘That was awesome!’, and it’s like, ‘Why didn’t you move then?’"
