Rock show for kids at Broad Street Cafe

What: A rock show for kids starring the Triangle's own Baron Von Rumblebuss with Redd Zeppelin and Columbia, S.C.'s Lunch Money, an up-and-coming kindie (that's independent kid music) pop rock group that has had national play on XM Kids of XM Satellite Radio. Tickets are $3. Free for those under age 2 and over age 100.

When: 4:30 p.m. Sunday. Lunch Money starts at 4:30 p.m., followed by the Baron at 5:15 p.m.

Where: Broad Street Cafe, 1116 Broad St., Durham; www.thebroadstreetcafe.com

Who goes: Toddlers to early elementary-age students as well as parents (who won't be embarrassed when they're singing their songs in the car after taking the kids to school).

What to know before you go: Tray Batson, musician, singer/songwriter and music therapist, is Baron Von Rumblebuss, who leads the band Redd Zeppelin. The Baron has been playing regular gigs at Broad Street since fall, bringing in other local kids acts, including Sandbox (www.sandbox-band.com).

Batson says they've fiddled a bit with the sound to find out what works best for the youngest rockers. But, otherwise, the concerts have gone well. "I'm just trying to network and get a kid-rock thing in the area."

Batson found Lunch Money online more than a year ago after looking for songs about trains for his kid. They exchanged CDs and agreed to play together someday. He promises a "full-on rockstravaganza" on Sunday.

Lunch Money formed in Columbia in 2003. Molly Ledford was working at a library booking acts and realized there wasn't much for kids. She was in a band already but enlisted her husband and another friend to form Lunch Money. The band's debut CD, "Silly Reflection," came out in 2004. It became a hit -- relatively speaking -- in the world of kids music.

Shortly after coming out, "Silly Reflection" was named album of the month by the Playground Radio Show in Boston, carried by The Land of Nod (a children's store affiliated with Crate & Barrel) and received top rating from Nick Jr. Family Magazine.
