A collection of middle aged to older guys with day jobs, putting on Hawaiian or Flame shirts and playing classic rock at the corner bar on Friday night. Bands that play Dad Rock, usually badly.
Greasy Bob's Bar and Grill features pull tabs, Karaoke on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and Dad Bands on Weekends; one and a half stars.

A band, like Wilco, whose primary audience is comprised of dads with cool teenage kids, but who still attract enough cool teenage kids to be actually cool.
Joe: Have you heard the new Wilco CD?
Amy: No way, man. My dad still hasn't taken "Yankee Foxtrot Hotel" out of the Saab.
Lisa: Yeah. They're such a cool dad band.
