Members jimiv Posted July 27, 2011 Members Share Posted July 27, 2011 I see we are picking on kids, now. Since noone has the guts to confront the angry Mom-band hordes. Well, the Mom-band hordes are usually the only ones on the dancefloor for the Dad-bands, right? It's just a vicious cycle and part of a much larger scale conspiracy designed to thwart the music careers of real musicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhino55 Posted July 27, 2011 Members Share Posted July 27, 2011 Yep, I don't care for long-haired, freeky people with outta tune screaming guitars. I don't really care for Led Zepplin either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Roy Brooks Posted July 28, 2011 Members Share Posted July 28, 2011 Yep, I don't care for long-haired, freeky people with outta tune screaming guitars. How about long haired freaky people who know how to play with other musicians? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KeysBear Posted July 28, 2011 Members Share Posted July 28, 2011 You are also passive aggressive as hell. I had a friend tell me that in 2008 and it was one of the better "man up" talks I've ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blackknight Posted July 28, 2011 Members Share Posted July 28, 2011 My Dad Band is nearing our first "real gig" (except it's a fundraiser, so we're not getting paid, and I'm on the organizing committee ;-). But real in the sense that we'll be playing (hopefully) in front of more than just our spouses and kids. I've accepted the Dad Band label as a badge of honor (as I did with "geek" many years ago)! I've enjoyed all the threads here on Backstage around related topics, and definitely smile ruefully whenever I spot stereotypes that we exemplify and perpetuate. Anyway, here's our gig: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=212245885465153 and our band page http://www.facebook.com/pages/seven7h-son/284408353180?sk=wall. I've been a lurker here for a few years, and hope that I've learned a few things from the combined blood, sweat and tears of you guys out there doing it every night. I might even say that reading this board has at least in part motivated me to give this a try. Keep on rockin'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blackknight Posted July 29, 2011 Members Share Posted July 29, 2011 Forgot to mention, our event (linked in my post just above) is a "Battle Of The Dad Bands!" We have 3 bands with kids who have been part of the organization our fundraiser is supporting. Should be a rocking good time, Dad-style! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
