My two sons from a previous marriage, Calvin-9 and Jack-5, started a heavy metal band a little over a year ago and have been hard at work writing music and realizing their rock dream.

They were asked recently to be guests on a local live comedy show that’s done in a talk-show format, “Mid-Evenings With Jay Miller”. {Google it… I don’t have a direct link for it}.

The boys rocked so hard and even got press in the Staten Island Advance and on SILive.com.
“M&Ms are dropping all over the floor on the set of Jay Miller’s talk show. The candies were a backstage request from his last guests, 5-year-old Jack Platt and his 9-year-old brother, Calvin, aka the heavy metal band Snake Bite.
“Mid-Evenings with Jay Miller,” filmed in the back room of Martini Red, a low-lit Stapleton bar, can not claim a legit green room. So the host busts out the candy on stage after the brothers deliver a killer version of their would-be hit, “Through the Blood.”
“What were the lyrics?” he asks the boys with all earnestness.
“Oh no I can’t! Oh yes, I can! Through the blood!” answers Jack, reaching for a handful of M&Ms.
Miller, in a suit and tie behind a desk similar to Letterman’s, nods in approval. The audience eats it up: Roars of laughter erupt from the 75 viewers who have crammed into the “studio,” and from the overflow crowd of 50 watching the show on a monitor in the bar’s main room.”
