Kids to rock Roasters

The Grease Monkey’s, a rock band made up of four children who attend Linglestown Elementary School, will be playing at St. Thomas Roasters tonight (Friday, Aug. 7), 8–10 pm, no cover.

Luke Diecidue, age 8, is the drummer, Jacob Diecidue, age 10, is the guitar player, Kristopher Ramstrom, age 10, is the bass player, and Kiersten Smith, age 10, is the singer.

The band has played together for the past three years, and has started scheduling gigs for large private parties, as well as playing for Relay for Life at the Susquehanna High School in June. They have a large following of fellow students, families and teachers, which was apparent at The Relay for Life performance.

The children are very professional and very talented, playing songs ranging from Vertigo, by U2, to Tick Tick Boom, by The Hives. They are directed and managed by Tom Diecidue, a professional musician himself, playing at local venues for over 25 years.
