Son of Dad is made up of 6 members and has an estimated fanbase of approximately 5,379,480 people - making us one of the more popular ska bands in Adelaide*. So here we are in no peculiar order....

Photobucket

BRENDAN aka "Freddy Fabrics"
Trumpet


Brendan was once described by an onlooker as "the newest member of the Son Of Dad", and is known for his trademark unsettling behavior, often following someone's anecdote with the phrase "yeah, that reminds me of the time I punched a woman in the mouth....". Brendan comes from a family with a strong medical background, as over the years they have contracted a variety of painful and hilarious diseases. Brendan himself actually worked in a lab for several years and developed a revolutionary b-enzyme that he claimed could cure baldness, before he unfortunately got drunk watching the 2002 Logie awards and lost the napkin that the calculations were written on.

CRAIG aka "Craig Commons-Class"
Sax & Vocals


A graduate of Adelaide University's "Spankalogical Engineering Academy", Craig is by far the smartest (and therefore most sensible) member of Son Of Dad, except he is unable to resist constantly yelling "THAT'S NUMBERWANG!!, during gigs, work, and even sex. Craig also used to have a small tuft of hair on his chin that any Major League Baseball player would be proud of.

Photobucket

MATTHEW1 aka "Rowdy Roddy Peeper"
Trombone


Matthew1 joins Son Of Dad after a VERY short-lived career as Rebel Wilson's personal trainer. My god, does this man hate Rebel Wilson. I mean why does anyone find her funny anyway? She's just so fucking annoying and fat. Don't even ask Matthew1 about Rebel Wilson, I certainly wouldn't. I mean you can if you really want to, I'm just saying.

Photobucket

DAN aka "Count Gutula"
Guitar & Vocals


Dan is a real "man's man" if you know what I mean (he's a homosexual). Currently living in Mount Barker, he travels to our gigs via the CBS (Country Blimp Service). Previous to playing upstroke guitar he was co-founder of 'Boost Juice' (but lost his company share during a game of "Who's finger is it?") and was also recently embroiled in a counterfeit $50 note scheme which he had cleverly set up in his garage, unfortunately this proved unsuccessful being as Dan had failed to pay any attention to the size (or indeed the colour or shape) of the $50 notes that he was attempting to duplicate, and was promptly arrested at a service station trying to pay for a full tank of petrol with a 2foot x 2foot piece of corrugated iron ("dollars" was also spelled wrong). Dan is also well-known known as a practical joker within the band, almost always carrying a live Tuna fish on hand just in case someone else happens to say "Can I borrow your tuner?". Dan almost always smells of fish.

Photobucket

MATTHEW2 aka "Wayne Mayhem"
Drums(z)


Standing a staggering 5'17", for a while now Matthew has been making people dance in his own unique way; by firing flaming bullets directly at the legs of crowd members. Matthew is banned from most venues in Adelaide and under investigation by both the firearms commission and the MFS. He received special mention in Farmer's Union's recent TV advertising campaign after purchasing 7,482 cartons of iced coffee in a single year. Matthew is now aiming to gain similar recognition from the pharmaceutical company from which he now buys Insulin. Matthew currently works for a successful solar-power company, and along with helping to power the nation with renewable energy, he one day hopes the harness the power of the sun for his own vengeful reasons.

Photobucket

TRENT aka "Crazy Dr. Beazley and his contrabulous cheese frabtraption"
Bass


Trent spent his first 3 years with the band as a stand-by caterer, usually providing us with succulent orange slices between songs, before working his way up to bass guitar maintenance supervisor. He now plays bass. He enjoys ignoring 'Fred Bassett' comic strips and for some reason has spent years perfecting a walking style exactly like that of Larry David. Interestingly, Trent is currently attempting to build a reactor that is powered entirely by cheese. It's clean, DELICIOUS energy.

*Probably not true.

InfluencesAlcohol, sugar, caffiene... Oh and probably these bands : Reel Big Fish, Big D And The Kid's Table, The Planet Smashers, Catch 22, Suburban Legends, Jeffries Fan Club, Mad Caddies, Less Than Jake, Streetlight Manifesto, Forces Of Evil, Mustard Plug
Record LabelOne that's really hard to peel off in one go.

   About Son of Dad

BIO

Son of Dad appeared on the Adelaide music scene in 2005, exhibiting their own unique display of what they interpreted as "third-wave ska"... mincing together incriminating sound grabs from interviews with members of reel big fish, and laying them over stolen dub beats. The band since encountered several lawsuits from Reel Big Fish's label, and decided that creating music more "traditionally" fitting with the ska-reggae-punk label, would be entirely more profitable, legal, and fun.

That's not, not a crime at all. Like I said, I can be with Frank today and tell him to shoot you. If he shoots you, I didn't mean to tell him, I'm just joking. Shoot Ben, huh? Just say he shot ya. Don't shoot me Frank - that's for sure, but I'm just saying if I told Frank, told you mucking around in front of the Harbour Bridge to jump off the Harbour Bridge and you jump, I don't want you to jump off the Harbour Bridge.

Since then the boys have established quite a rabid fanbase, often filling to the rafters some of Adelaide's best live venues... with drunks looking for any way out of the cold, people who think there's a cover band playing inside... oh, and those who genuinely enjoy Son Of Dad's fun, offbeat and very danceable style of music.

In 2006, Son of Dad recorded their debut EP, "Just Another Ska Band" with Jay Illman from The Brews, displaying that Son of Dad was anything but that which the title sugests. The EP was met with critical non-disdain, peer acclaim, many happy punters, and local radio stations who were more than plea$ed to give our records a spin.

2009 sees Son of Dad planning to release their second EP, an 8 track split with Adelaide psychobilly band The Hoodoo Voodoo Dolls. With very little in common, these two bands manage to forge a...working relationship.

Yes indeed, Son Of Dad are the ska band that simply everyone.
