Aston and Alex bring you episode 6!  A lengthy chat about the world of paid promotions. Is it worth it. Pros and cons. Getting jobs from fake views. Is it morally correct or not? What is the right way to go about it?  We also review the latest Red Hot Chilli Peppers album 'Return of the Dream Canteen'  And we once again touch on the lives of music dads playing music in foreign countries and how it differs from gigs back home in South Africa.

What's practice? Mouldy Guitars?
The problem with technology is that it's just so amazingly distracting, why can't we get anything done (besides our priorities of course)? The boys dive into what practice means to them (Thanks Kenny for the suggestion). Alex performs one of his best songs (Hope you enjoy Aggie) as they traverse through another episode of chats with music dads, thanks for listening!!

We've reached cruising altitude...
After much careful deliberation and planning, Alex and Aston have recorded a second episode of “Chats with Music Dads”. Having received more than two subscribers on YouTube it felt most appropriate to keep their small but much loved audience informed. They touch on their time on “The Voice SA”, the logistics of a self promoted music tour and share some nuggets of muso wisdom they picked up along the way.
