The New Dad Rock
Two college radio DJs during the 90s, hosts Keith and Steve helped expose bands like Nirvana, Pavement and PJ Harvey. They went to shows, interviewed musicians and reviewed albums for various zines and papers. They worked security at concerts and once, even did load-in for Phish. Now they’re dads. Whether you want to explore lesser-known music or take a trip down memory lane, tune in to The New Dad Rock. Join hosts Keith and Steve as they navigate the ages together, sharing their love of music across various eras and genres. Always well intentioned, often well informed, seldom boring, The New Dad Rock will expand your mind.

EP 102. Has King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard Jumped the Shark?
A Love Letter to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
Is King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard the best band in the world… or are they just really good at making us buy concert tickets?
This week, Keith and Steve swap war stories from the Gizzverse: the 2025 European Residency Tour (aka “how many nights in a row can one band melt your brain?”), the Phantom Island Orchestra Tour (spoiler: it’s as trippy as it sounds), and Field of Vision (part music festival, part interdimensional portal). We also peek into the future—yes, there’s a European Rave and Orchestra Tour on the horizon, because of course there is.
Expect love letters, a few roast notes, and at least one attempt to decide whether King Gizzard has jumped the shark, ridden the shark, or turned the shark into a concept album.
Grab your flight suit and your microtonal guitar—this one’s for the Gizzheads, the skeptics, and everyone stranded somewhere in between.
Did you know that The New Dad Rock has swag? Coffee mugs, pillow and t-shirts in a multitude of colors and arm lengths.
