The New Dad Rock
Episode 101 – Desert Island Bands
For the first time ever, Steve and Keith sit down face-to-face, live and in person, to record an episode of The New Dad Rock. The occasion? A thought experiment that turns into a full-on festival fantasy.
Imagine this: we charter a plane to take ten of our favorite bands to the inaugural TNDR Festival. But somewhere between takeoff and soundcheck, fate intervenes—the plane goes down… and everyone (thankfully) survives—only to find themselves stranded on the most beautiful, luxurious desert island imaginable.
With unlimited sunshine, endless margaritas, and no cell service, the music never stops. Steve and Keith argue, laugh, and daydream their way through the perfect lineup for the greatest stranded-on-an-island music festival ever.
Strap in. It’s a little bit Cast Away, a little bit Coachella, and a whole lot of The New Dad Rock.
Did you know that The New Dad Rock has swag? Coffee mugs, pillow and t-shirts in a multitude of colors and arm lengths.
