No Small Children

The punk-rock style band, made up of, wait for it, three elementary school-teachers, formed in 2012, after deciding it was a good idea (as you do) while on playground duty, and comprises guitarist and singer, Lisa Pimentel, drummer, Nicola Berlinsky, and bass player and singer, Joanie Pimentel.

Their latest single, I’m So Concerned, is very much like a protest song. About the single the band says:

“As three school teachers, this song is very close to our hearts. We hope that with music, we can spread love and understanding”.

The video shows school-kids looking bored and uninterested while at their desks, and the track’s edgy lyrics are sung over an almost orchestral instrumental - an earworm that stays with you long after you’ve finished listening, and you may feel compelled to play it again!

Elementary school-teachers by day, guitarist and singer, Lisa Pimentel and drummer, Nicola Berlinsky, decided to start the band while covering recess duty. A short three months later they had an EP, many gigs behind them, and an east coast tour booked. Then in October 2013, Joanie Pimentel, bass player and singer, was added to the line-up. All three were also teaching at the same school, which meant that lunch breaks became band-meetings, after-school meant rehearsals, and they toured during holidays.

In 2017, No Small Children released their single, Radio, produced by the legendary, Bob Marlette (Rob Zombie, Black Sabbath, Filter, and more), and the track has been featured on The World Famous KROQ, Los Angeles, Rock Band Rivals video game. The band’s remake of the classic Ghostbusters theme-song can be heard in the new 2016 Ghostbusters movie. Additionally, RCA Records officially released the song as a single. No Small Children also performed at the Unity Ball in Washington DC, following the Women’s March on Washington, January 21st, 2017, and were interviewed on NPR’s Weekend Edition aired January 1st, 2017.

NSC are known for their energetic, inyour-face live shows. Glamorous clothes and their self-assured command of the stage complete the picture, and may leave the audience a little hoarse at the end of the night, but also with a warm fuzzy feeling.

The band say they love being on the road, and if they ever decide to perform on this side of the pond, you could do worse than grab some tickets, drag along some friends, and have a great night out!
