Welcome

The Kids of Widney High are a group of students from Widney High School, a special ed. high school in Los Angeles, who write and perform original songs. The group started in 1988 as a song writing class and changes as the students come and go from Widney. The students perform in the L.A. area with a band consisting of Vince Licassi-guitar, Judy Rudin-harmonica, Tony Bollas-drums, Spero Anthony-bass, and Michael Monagan-guitar.

But, as always, we need YOUR help!

YOU can help us get the word out about ACT YOUR AGE by telling friends, blogging, putting up information about the flick on your MySpace or Facebook, writing an article or two for your local alternative rag, getting on your local radio station, or doing whatever the hell else you can to let people in on the Know.
