Hockey Dad @ Stage AE (6/13/22)

Australian Surf Rock duo Hockey Dad opened the evening of the Summer Gods Tour 2022. Billy Fleming (drums) and Zach Stephenson (vocals/guitar) formed the band in 2013 and went from performing in their parents garage to touring abroad in support of the success of their 2018 release 'Blend Inn'. More recently, they've celebrated the success of their single "Seaweed" hitting platinum status in their home country as well as being the opening act for rock veterans Taking Back Sunday and Third Eye Blind. Songs like "Good Eye" and "Join the Club" were the perfect soundtrack to a summer evening at Stage AE. The city skyline as the backdrop to the outdoor stage was the cherry on top of what was going to be something pretty spectacular.
