dadsaretheoriginalhipster:

Your dad was into indie rock before you were and he’s made the LP’s to prove it. His band’s name was “Velvet Plaid and the Cherub Child.” They were the  Flight of the Conchords of the 70’s and their debut album “With the lights on” was pure vinyl ecstasy with a side of instrumental seduction. It was described as being a musical joy-splosion that rained auditory orgasms and made love to people’s listening holes. To hear them perform was like losing your virginity for a second time, getting it back and then losing it again. Then, late one night after killing a set at the Fillmore in Detroit, you happened. He married your mom (the vintage Florence from Florence + the Machine) and the band became a family. 

So hipsters, next time you’re dreaming of being the next Bon Iver, Mumford and Son or Fleet Foxes, remember this…

Your dad’s band was so underground that Pitchfork hasn’t even heard of him. 

Thank you to Lucian for today’s great photo.
