In the years since the Dirty Sock Funtime Band has been largely inactive, Mike Messer has been performing for kids both solo and with the band "The AfterSchool Special" made up of upright bassist Adam Roberts and DSFB drummer Sean Dixon. Their set lists include many DSFB songs. Stephen Jacobs founded the popular NYC based music school "Come Join the Band" (named for a DSFB song) where kids and music professionals form bands together, write songs, learn instruments and perform concerts.
