If you don’t know about my dad, he’s just your typical former rock star dad, had a one-hit-wonder back in the day (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMLnDuzgkjo) and is now playing with his old high school band.

Now, you might think…”Sweet, Vanessa’s dad gets together with his buddies and plays some oldies every now and again.” You are so wrong…once a rock star, always a rock star.

My dad’s new band, The Doughboys, has twice held the title of the “Coolest Song in the World” from Little Steven Van Zandt’s Underground Garage XM station and they seriously rock out when they play live at places like the Stone Pony…they even wreck the stage when they’re done!!

If you haven’t seen my dad yet, a) you’d better not be a close friend cuz you’re slackin’ on the duties! and b) get out there and see him! He plays all over the tri-state area, in Manhattan, even up in Maine…there’s no excuses!!! Go here for a list of upcoming shows: http://www.thedoughyboysnj.com/. And here are a few coming up:

If you don’t see daylight – or nightlight rather – too often, then take like 3 seconds and grab his CD – “Is It Now?”, or even just a single or two for .99. Here’s their first “coolest song in the world” video on you tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQMTPRBz5A8&feature=related.

What about their second coolest song in the world you ask? Oooo, just wait for it!!!! I just finished designing the single cover that just hit the radio stations (recently played by Jonathan Clarke’s Q104 Show “Out Of The Box”) and you can preview/buy the song by clicking on the picture below!

enJoy!!
