Are you sitting at home in your one-bedroom apartment, sipping a lukewarm beer in a fold-out chair, blasting some classic divorced dad rock? Well, it’s time to take the night off from explaining why “music just isn’t the same anymore” and join us for a night of grungy, groany, back-when-music-was-actually-good anthems. Prepare to put your hands in your pockets, lean back, and nod along to the rocking sounds of Nickelback, Creed, Daughtry, Tonic, Hinder, Lifehouse, Papa Roach, Fuel, Three Days Grace, Staind, Puddle of Mudd, Soundgarden, Audioslave, Foo Fighters, and more. Bonus points if you loudly remind everyone you “can’t believe they don’t know this song.” Oh, and name one song from the band on your t-shirt—I bet you can’t. Best dad outfit wins prizes.
