You've never seen kids rock out like they do to the all-female garage rock children's band The Candy Band. Boredom brought the stay-at-home moms to start the punk-influenced band, and they've been embraced by families all over metro Detroit - and beyond.

The Candy Band has played Chicago's Lollapalooza, New York City's Mamapalooza, the Motown Winter Blast, and appeared on the Fox 2 Morning Show. The band does frequent shows at schools, community centers, and libraries.

I like how the Candy Band makes nursery rhymes into FUN rock. My favorite song is "It's Raining Green." from their new albumn ~ HIGH FIVE. I'd love to see the band play again soon! Joey C (8yrs old)

The Candy Band puts on a high energy show that keeps your feet tapping to the beat. What a fantastic band for kids and parents both. Highly recommended! These talented mom's ROCK!

I saw them do an "evening show" with another local band and knew that my kids would love them. Took them to seem them at the Detroit Zoo last summer and now I have a Candy Band sticker on my car. It's all true!

My kids love to dance to the Candy Band.

I <3 Candy Band!

Thank God for Candy Band; kids these days have much higher standards for entertainment these days. Hip, witty, edgy and karmic all at the same time, CB is off-the-charts; am a HUGE fan! And so are my boys. They only wish that CB had their tunes on Guitar Hero!

Candy Band Rocks ... I've had two kids, four years apart grow up with the Candy Band and they still have fun at the shows, watching the kids younger than them ROCK OUT. Better than Barney, that's for sure!

I've seen CandyBand 43 times and I love them more with each performance! High energy and rockin' sound paired with songs you know and love. Plus original tunes that kids and parents can relate to. A must see!

High energy entertainment for the entire family. You can't resist singing along to upbeat classics like "Old Susanna" and their original songs ROCK!

Fabulous original songs as well as jazzed-up classics that keep your toes tapping and kids dancing. Concerts are a blast. CDs are nice taks-a-longs for road trips, or even listening to at home. If you get a chance, you need to check this band out!

I saw them at the DIA last year. My daughter was three and had the best time. I never saw her dance that hard in her life. Toddlers that could barely stand gave it their all as well. I resisted dancing but it was hard...other parents and grandparents could not resist. They are great for the entire family to enjoy!
