"We'll be scoring heaps of chicks"

2 preteens perform with Tenacious D

WELLINGTON, New Zealand -

Jack Black turned his "The School of Rock" role into reality when he plucked two preteen musicians from obscurity and asked them to perform with his rock band.

Black played a teacher who turns his class into a rock band in the 2003 comedy, directed by Richard Linklater.

The 37-year-old actor-musician was touring New Zealand's South Island with his two-man band, Tenacious D, when he spotted the boys performing for money in central Christchurch on Monday.

Impressed, Black asked the young duo to open Tenacious D's Christchurch gig on Tuesday, according to media reports.

Drummer Max Tetley, 11, and guitarist Alex Philpott, 10, said they didn't sleep the night before the concert and had practiced their song — Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" — only about 10 times before the performance.

"We'll be scoring heaps of chicks," Christchurch's The Press newspaper quoted the duo as saying.

Those kids are awesome.

It's even more awesome if you can imagine them saying that in a Kiwi accent!   :-D

I had a heap of chicks once. It's tiring.

[Ironwood]

I know.  Seems like it's never over :  From the first spade hit on the ground, to the hole big enough to keep em, to the final crushing end where you have to put the Quicklime on 'em and shovel the dirt back in.

Tiring indeed.

Wow, this thread went dark fast.

That happens every time Ironwood's meds start to wear off.
