THE RIDER: My Son The Doctor's Top 10
Ahead of TURKEY SLAMDOWN at TV Eye this Saturday, the band shares their (predominantly peach-flavored) favorites
There is no sicker band of sweeter dudes with better bedside manner than My Son The Doctor — a rowdy gang of four best friends who sing of basements, belly buttons and (most recently)…
Which is their new single, out now via Trash Casual!
“‘Barry Bonds’ is about insecurity,” the band says of the song. “To three short Jewish boys from Northern California and our tall (and oh-so-tender) New York native drummer, Barry Bonds epitomizes all that we look in the mirror and don’t see: muscle, masculinity and fame in exploding excess.”
Or, more simply: “It’s about looking into the mirror and wanting to be someone bigger than you are. But you aren’t that person. That person is Barry Bonds.”
Grab your bats! Grab your balls! Grab your performance-enhancing drugs! (jk! plz don’t!) And meet us at TV Eye THIS SATURDAY to catch “Barry Bonds” (+ many more MSTD songs) liiiiiive when the band hits the stage for the third-annual TURKEY SLAMDOWN with Godcaster, Wetsuit, Acrylic Gesso and our recently announced, now-only-sorta-secret headliner…. FATSUG!
(We’re not saying you should read that backwards, butttt….)
Don’t wait: GRAB YOUR TIX HERE!
Even better, proceeds from the night are once again going to Make the Road NY, a 27,000-member-strong organization dedicated to “building power of immigrant, Black, and brown communities to achieve dignity & justice.”
Once you’ve secured your ticket to the Slamdown to end all Slamdowns, read on to find out what (mostly peach-flavored) things the dudes of My Son The Doctor are loving right now—
PS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MY SON THE DOCTOR’S TOP 10
1. Peach Vibe Celsius
All flavors become good after enough time, but peach vibe continues to shine brightest.
2. Salads
In between sandwich binges, a salad goes a long way. A good salad can be hard to make.
3. Ezra Klein
On the mic!
4. Raspberry Peach Celsius
The brand is known for their caffeine but underrated for their peach. Second only to Peach Vibe, Raspberry Peach is delicious in your mouth.
5. A budget hotel shvitz
You can't take the Russian and Turkish Baths on the road, but you can find a budget hotel with a small and certainly underheated sauna.
6. Tenderness
Just general tenderness is nice when it happens organically to us.
7. “君のせい (Kimi no Sei)” by the peggies
The only song all 4 of us like.
8. The 2024 Chevy Traverse
Traverse is ranked #1 for New Vehicle Quality among Upper Midsize SUVs in 2024 by J.D. Power.* Enjoy award-winning excellence from the first drive and beyond.
9. Haribo Peaches
They make a nice range of gummy candies, but Peaches stand tallest. Berries come shortly behind but we don't mess with Trolli.
10. The bands Spread Joy, Grocer, and Pure Adult
Tasty treats for your ears.
