The Dads - live at the 7th Street Entry (1981)

During the first week of September 1981, Twin/Tone took the mobile recording unit and rented a bunch of video gear and recorded 15 bands live (five nights) at the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis... This video is from the show on September 8th.

My friends and I would never miss a Dad's set, once a crazy set at the Coffman Union on campus, ahh those were the days!

Some documentary brought me here. And I’m glad it did.

Ah, Duffy's! Pogoing til I snapped my neck there and at various other venues around the Twins...

So this isn't the Dads that put out a self-titled album in 1984, from Richmond. Who are they? Did they ever record anything? This live set is AMAZING!!
