If you were about to turn 50 and could go see five bands in concert, who would they be and why?
As the Dads discuss this conundrum, they get distracted and end up talking about Sparks. Who is Sparks? Only one of the most influential bands of the past five decades. They've inspired Joy Division, Queen and Bjork, collaborated with Giorgio Morodor, Franz Ferdinand and members of the Go-Gos, and were even name checked in a Paul McCartney video. These two inscrutable brothers from Southern California have been one step ahead of the musical zeitgeist of the time for years.
Come join The New Dad Rock and they explore Sparks. And when you're done listening to the episode, tune into their Edgar Wright-directed documentary.

Did you know that The New Dad Rock has swag? Coffee mugs, pillow and t-shirts in a multitude of colors and arm lengths.
