[ Cheers and applause ]
-All right!
-That was awesome!
-Yeah!
-Wow!
Uh, thanks.
We're David, Emma, Katie,
and Daoud.
We're Bad Moves!
Cool!
We're Craig, JP, and Kelsey,
and we're good kids.
Well, thanks
for watching, kids.
Is this a club?
Did we run all the way
to the city?
Nah, this is just
our house.
We call it
the Pizza Crust Collective.
We live here -- with,
like, 15 other people.
It's cool, 'cause we all like
music and pizza.
Oh, so it's like
a forever sleepover,
but nobody tells you to
shut your mouth and go to sleep.
Sometimes
that happens.
But, yeah,
it's pretty cool.
We all help out
and share everything,
although the peanut butter
belongs to Michelle.
I mean, we could eat it,
but, you know
[ Bass-guitar note plays ]
Sorry.
It's cool.
Why don't you give it a try?
Go ahead.
[ Bass-guitar note plays ]
Cool!
But it must be impossible
to play a whole song.
You have to do that
a million times.
Yeah. I mean, did you guys
go to college
for, like, 20 years
to learn all that?
Nah. I actually picked it up
from my brother.
He played bass, and I thought
it was very cool.
Now I play guitar,
and Iam very cool.
Yeah, I was
in high-school orchestra,
but I didn't like being told
what notes to play,
so I joined a band.
I'll play a "G"
whenever I want.
[ Guitar riff ]You hear that,
Mr. Samson?!
I used to carry around
a pair of drumsticks.
Everyone called me
"Sticks."
So I was, like, a drummer
before I was a drummer.
Anyone can play.
Can we play?!
Sure. What instrument
you want to try?
[ Drums playing ]Druuuuums!
Hitting stuff,
that is what I am about.
[ Chuckles ] Okay.
Let's start with some basics.
This big one down here
is the kick.
Hy-aye![ Boom! ]
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Don't actually kick it.
Just step
on that pedal.[ Drum plays ]
All right,
now tap the snare
like you're tapping
a pencil.[ Snare plays ]
Kick, snare.
Kick, kick, snare.[ Drums playing steadily ]
Put your finger here,
and with your other hand,
pretend like your fingers
are walking on the string.
[ Bass guitar plays ]
There. You're gonna
play a power chord.
Heh. You get me.
Now strum!
[ Guitar chord plays ]
Now put
your fingers here.
Wh-Whoa.
[ Rock music playing ]
Together: Whoa!
You're playing a song.
[ Music continues ]
Really?
That's it?
Yeah. A song doesn't
have to be complicated.
It can be 18 chords
or it could be 2.
You guys,
all we need is lyrics,
and then we got
a hit single for sure!
How do you
write lyrics?
Well, you don't
needlyrics,
but if there's something
you want to express,
whether you totally
understand why or not,
it's a way you can keep it
from feeling bottled up.
Lyrics are like this
thing you want to say,
but maybe you're shy
or unsure of yourself.
But by writing those
thoughts in a song,
you can be
in control.
Yeah, sometimes your song
knows how you feel
about something
before you do.
[ Badum-tish plays on drums ]
I'm sorry.
I thought that was a setup.
Hey! You kids play another note,
and I call the cops!
I guess that's it
for the day.
[ Lights flick off ]
Oh, hey, we're actually
playing a show here on Friday.
If you come up with some lyrics,
you could play your song.
That'd be so awesome!
Just need some lyrics.
♪♪
♪♪
[ Bird screeches ]
Aah!
[ Gasps ]
Oh.
Katie: We could play
at that indoor soccer place.
They have shows there
sometimes.
Nah. It's a car
dealership now.[ Strumming guitar ]
Oh. We could play
that bowling alley.
I've seen
shows there.
Nah.
It's a diner now.
We could play in the parking lot
of that diner.
But then where would
we play kickball?
I'm boycotting
that diner.
They don't appreciate
my views on French fries.
Fries should
be bottomless.
Fries should
be bottomless!
Craig: Hey, guys!
[ Panting ]
We got some big news.
Yeah.
Check out my pants!
I chopped 'em so I got
that breezy-leg look
like you guys got.
Also, David, I thought about
what you said
about expressing
your feelings
and getting it out there
and how you can feel better,
and I wrote lyrics
for a song.
I put them on this temporary
tattoo that I won at a fair.
It's a basketball bunny.
We all want
to hear your lyrics,
but it looks like
we won't be able
to play music here
anymore.
What?
Why?
Emma: 'Cause our neighbor's
a "not-funster."
He keeps complaining
about the noise!
Shh!
We're not even that loud.[ Cymbal plays quietly ]
Shhhh!
[ Whispering ] Also, someone ate
Michelle's peanut butter,
and she is not happy.
She's not mad,
because it's everybody's,
but, you know
But -- But what about
the show?!
I feel
dis-empower-chorded.
Ugh.
It's a real bummer.
This garage
has been a sanctuary
for the local music scene
and our bikes.
I don't know where else we could
play last minute like this.
We'd need an isolated spot
where we could play
and not bother
"Old Man Grumpty Dumpty."
Yeah, I kind of need a hard
surface to put my drums on.
With a roof to protect our
instruments from the elements
and a big opening
so people can see you.
Yeah, we basically need
a garage.
Is there a garage
in the creek?
JP: No, but there's a rock
with a buncha wizards under it.
I think I know a place.
Together: Whoa!
Holy French fries,
Bad Moves!
This is so great!
I have way more room
for my drums
and room
to jump around
and more room
to do this![ Warble ]
Doesn't seem like this
old boy's too moldy, either.
Craig,
this place is awesome!
What?
I think it could
really work!
Yeah! I figured it would
fit your specifications!
What?
This is super cool,
but how are we gonna power
our instruments?
I'll take care
of you guys!
