Bag of Donuts cover a wide variety of music from the 1960's through today's top of the pop, including TV shows, commercials and Movies. They are a New Orleans based band that is known for their wild stage antics, outlandish costumes and strange renditions of popular songs. Since their creation in 1988, they have entertained and "offended" thousands of people stealing their hearts and other peoples’ songs. Bag of Donuts remain a professional band with an outstanding reputation. They’ve won numerous awards throughout their animated history and perform around 100 dates a year. In March of 1999, the Donuts released their debut CD "Glazed and confused." Two years later they released their much-anticipated live CD, "Live in New Orleans," recorded at a sold out show at House of Blues.
The band is made up of four characters. John Duplantis is the easily lovable front man who can make an audience forget their worries and enter a world of sheer stupidity, hilarity, and rock and roll bliss. Kevin George is the thunder behind the storm, and has created an ingenious and comical way of utilizing a sample machine. Jonathan Hoerner is the Kiss look-alike guitarist who makes sure the crowd doesn't forget the show is rock and roll, yet comical. Jerry Christopher adds more stupidity and jaw-dropping bass playing. These four members have many years of road training and entertainment under their belts and are ready to take this project to the next level.
The Donuts must be seen to be appreciated! They are guaranteed to make an audience of all ages laugh and enjoy themselves provided the audience has beating hearts. With a little luck and lots of hope, the world will come to know these whimsical, witty, yet humble fellows. Check them out at www.myspace.com/bagofdonutsband. |
