The Young Dads, a very talented, funny duo, have a great schtick. To give you an idea here’s a list of their songs (with comments by the Young Dads):
ooh!: this song features our sexy/grossed-out pop vocal, a pop vocal that we think originally was an amusing satire of late-90s boy-band vocals but has since evolved into a thing that does not occur in nature. the groove on this song is tight.
existential crisis: young uncle david shapiro makes a cameo in this rollicking barbershop meditation on the nightmare of being.
making the pitch: you will be seduced by our hot dance moves and questionable wardrobe choices, unless you are a dude, in which case you will feel threatened in ways that you may not fully understand.
satan wants you to do bad things: thank goodness for that eighteen-month face-training course we took at the sorbonne! in all seriousness, the faces we are making during this song are even more difficult than they look. you’re all like: jesse and micah, that’s not even possible. but it is! anything is possible. go celtics.
pop accountants: this video is an early frontrunner for the “Most Under-Rated Video” award of the 2010 Videos Made By The Young Dads In A Public-Access Studio Awards (the VMBTYDIAPASAs). warning: dangerously sick groove.
i could never eat that: a freshman going to junior prom?! a freshman going to junior prom. please.
To get an even better idea have a look at the videos of them performing the above songs: http://www.youtube.com/theyoungdads
They’ll be at bar 4 tomorrow night at 9PM. 444 Seventh Avenue at 13th Street.
