Band Members: SEAN KELLY - Guitar and Vocals. Ex TISM guitarist Sean loves the smooth/cheesy songs and chatting up ladies he has absolutely no chance with. Musically he cites Warren Buffet, Stephen Hawkins and Mark Viduka as influences. By day he works in Banking where he names John Lennon and Robbie Williams as his role models. Sean lies most of the time.
GREG MURRAY – Drums. Greg spent the 80’s playing drums behind Melbourne Girlband “The Chantoozies†before abandoning his artistic credibility to play with David Bridie’s “My Friend the Chocolate Cakeâ€. A lecturer in Clinical Psychology by day Greg vigorously denies allegations he gives preferential treatment to students who carry his drum kit to and from shows.
JOHN BERTO – Lead Guitar and Vocals. A seachange in the 70’s & 80’s saw John leave his Italian folk roots in favour of Country & Western roots. He now considers himself blessed to get any roots particularly after his self-medication phase with “The Dead Liversâ€. A music teacher and session musician, John can’t really understand why any music has been written since the zenith of Rob Jolly’s “Marshall’s Portable Music Machine†in 1972.
JACK HOWARD – Trumpet, Vocals (Percussion / Keys). Jack Howard spent his formative years pursuing various cellists in several orchestras around Melbourne. He then took a huge left turn at Alburquerque and spent the next 20 years playing trumpet with Hunters and Collectors as well as Midnight Oil, The Living End and Pete Murray - not so many cellists on the scene, but still in the pursuit of something. In the last 5 years, he's released 4 CD's of his own original music, including the acclaimed "My Lucky Day". Do you see a commom theme?
ADAM JOHNSTONE – Bass and Vocals (and occasional Trombone). Having played for years in bands no-one has heard of, Adam is the true weekend warrior of The Dads. His legacy of live performance is now urban folklore amongst his peers where he shines as a beacon of excess. The rest of the time he is relatively normal.
Influences: Everything from the 1950's to now.
