Interview: Dad Jokes

They probably have some of the best teeshirts in the music business, but the duo who make up Dad Jokes do have a generation of lame parental gags to draw on for their wittily designed duds. The pizza loving pair have been playing together for a couple of years now (originally forming as a three-piece) and have a whole bunch of shows under their belts, around New Zealand and supporting their pals the PCP Eagles in Australia. Now Dad Jokes, aka Matthew Wall and Ian Brown, are casting their gaze further and heading to Canada to play at the epic Ottawa Explosion Weekend in June, after which they will be heading into the States, going from Seattle to LA and everywhere in between, playing shows along the way. But it takes money to travel, so the pair are putting on a fundraising gig this Friday at Auckland's Whammy Bar with support from a heap of local bands including Bloodbags and Pals. We caught up with Dad Jokes via email ahead of the show to ask them a few questions and, of course, hear their favourite dad joke....
