Rooney was on the O.C. and featured nearly weekly as a POSTER on the wall of
the character "Seth Cohen".

I actually enjoyed the O.C. and looked forward to the weekly ending of the
show where they would tell you the music that had been featured that week
(at least, ONE of the artists).

So, I went to see Rooney this evening.  Actually, I also saw the Little
Ones, by hot-footing it from one venue to another, but that's another story.


Thing is, when did Rooney become poster-boys for 14 year old girls?  I'd
always assumed they'd be appreciated by chin-stroking power-pop fans in
their early/mid-30s.  But tonight's gig was like a school disco.  Have they
been on Hollyoaks/O.C. or something?  What cultural meme have I missed this
time?  Apart from me and the Mrs. the only over-30s were the parents of the
children (I kid you not...there were at least 10 parents present, stood at
the back or just outside the main room, keeping half an eye on their kids).

By the way, they were quite good, but seemed to get a bit too carried away
by the dozens of screaming girls.  A quieter crowd might have forced a more
concentrated performance.  The Little Ones were far better, and seemed
genuinely surprised by the generous and grateful (and slightly more mature)
Bristol crowd.

So what did I miss with Rooney?  O.C.?  Advertisements?

Matt.
