Alice Donut Biography
Alice Donut is an alternative rock band from New York City. They formed in 1986, disbanded in 1996, only to reform in 2004. The band toured relentlessly, and then, after their 1000th live performance, the members decided to take a break to pursue other projects. Theirs is a mixture of hard rock, punk, grunge and post-punk, often punctuated with instruments. Many of the members are traditionally or even classically trained musicians, but rarely in the instruments they play in the band.
Lyrically, Alice Donut often explores depravity, domestic violence, sexuality and food, reflected in songs like 'My Life is a Mediocre Piece of Shit' and 'The Son Of A Disgruntled X-Postal Worker Reflects On His Life While Getting Stoned In The Parking Lot Of A Winn Dixie Listening To Metallica'.
Now in its 20th year, has just completed its 9th full length release, Fuzz. 2004s "Three Sisters", Alice Donut's first release after its hiatus, was recorded by the band as a four-piece (Tom Antona on vocals, Michael Jung on guitar, Stephen Moses on drums and Sissi Schulmeister on bass) before the band's complete reassembling for Fuzz when guitarist Dave Giffen (co-owner of Howler Records), stepped back in on guitar. Fuzz, recorded in Brooklyn's famed BC Studio with longtime co-producer Martin Bisi, was released on September 05, 2006. Alice Donut's melodic, guitar-heavy, odd-metered yet deeply grooved takes on the perversities, odd details, petty humiliations and sick joys of life have created a long term loyal following among indie music die-hards, industry insiders and misfit punk rockers. They've been cited as an influence by everyone from Broadway composers to performance artists, from fringe noise bangers to today's front-and-center bands. Between 1987 and 1996, Alice Donut released seven full length albums on Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles label, and 15 or so singles, EPs and odd releases through various others.
