Seeing your childhood favourite bands with your dad

It’s soul healing I think. Went to see They Might Be Giants with my dad and cried at Birdhouse thinking about 8 year old me singing it with my dad. We‘ve also seen Belle and Sebastian and Yeah Yeah Yeahs together. He said we just need to see Avril Lavigne and Blondie now and we’ll have seen all the bands we used to cover when I was little (him on guitar me singing). Just go to gigs with your dad, the best gig companion.

Thanks for posting this btw, it caused me to notice they were playing in London last night — I usually don’t go to ££ concerts but found someone giving away a spare ticket! Singing along to “Dead” was great and the venue (Roundhouse) was very impressive

mouse Yeah, I grew up in Brooklyn so saw 'em many times but it had been quite a while! Their whole background in avant-garde performance art / jazz scenes (they were kind of the O.G. Williamsburg gentrifiers) is a little underappreciated I think

LETTING YOUR DAD PLAY YOU HIS FAVORITE MUSIC

I enjoy listening to my dad’s favorite music from when he was a teenager. Imagining him listening to all his favorite hair metal bands on a cassette player, reveling in his teenage angst makes me feel closer to him.

PEOPLE WATCHING

ive recently had the privilege to watch my dad fall back in love with music. its always been a big part if my life and its what i hope to pursue as a career, and its always been around the house. but as of late, ive noticed my dad is always playing something and he sings and dances along. its beautiful to see him enjoying something so much.
