If there's a thread on ilm with this topic, I couldn't find it.

Anyway, here's a track I just heard this morning from Picture Book aka Dario Darnell and Lorne Ashley (sons of August Darnell). Song is tight, but video not for the squeamish:

Is this to include old stuff or just new stuff coming out? Not that I have anything in particular to add right now, just for future reference...

Any era, any style. This thread's a catchall.

Here's Snoop's son, Spanky Dank.

Nice track built around a cheap-sounding "Gimme Shelter"

Spanky Danky

Also, he prematurely eulogizes Bob Barker. Spanky Danky builds his tracks to not be dated, I guess.

I've heard about kids from Andy Partridge, Colin Newman and Billy Bragg all having bands (not together but that'd be cool) but haven't heard if they've released anything.

Colin Newman and Malka Spiegel's kid made music as a teen under the name Bumpy, no idea if he still does.

I like that psych/prog group that Sean Lennon is doing with Les Claypool. Not every track works and a couple of the lyrics are kinda jive, but there are a couple of really nice tunes on there. Definitely a couple of nods to old Yes in the sound. You can tell they are having fun and is way less musically willfully ugly as some of Claypools other bands. There is some nice spacey sounding guitars on there.

That's a good call, felt like that newer Claypool Lennon album was really good, nice step up from the first one.

Listening to The Goon Sax, which includes Robert Forster's son. Quite good, it's as if they had the Go-Betweens in their DNA. :-)

Graham Lewis's daughter Klara has put out a few albums of ambient/electroacoustic/musique concrète-type stuff and collaborated with Simon Fisher Turner. what I've heard hasn't made much of an impression but ymmv

One of the shows that I missed because of lockdown was seeing Automatic open for Shopping. Lola from Automatic is Kevin Haskins' daughter
