Wow!  What a cool dad!!  Yeah I tried feeding my son the Kinks, Replacements, Ramones etc. and he wants Justin Beiber????  or White Stripes which is ok. He's 7.  I play and produce music for bands, film and TV.  My current band is Metzger's Field - myspace metzgersfield   We are somewhat shoegazy and not everyone's cup of tea.  There's a lot of different influences going on in the music.  I haven't listened to Nick Cave in years but I dig him!  Check us out if you get a chance maybe you'll like it maybe not, that's cool.  I'm working on our second release right now which should come out at the end of the summer, 3 song EP on 7" vinyl.  That and making nic juice.
