DONUT

About Me

Brought together by an unexplainable need to rock the masses, DONUT was formed in the winter of 2001. Three long time friends, all having dabbled in various rock projects over the years, re-united on a fateful winter’s eve. They decided to catch up by throwin’ down each of their biggest and baddest ingredients that helped to create an extremely tasty melange of unweathered brainstorms and pure rock. Riff after rocking riff was spawned forming an incomparable, original sound that was appropriately named DONUT.Keith Monkman (aka-riffdaddy) provides an ultra smooth guitar sound, consistently solid enough that every time he steps to the plate he can’t help but drive it home. Marty Unger (aka-Zarto) delivers a serious dose of energy via drumstick and kick pedal that can render most ear protection useless, though can he can still funk n’ chill when required. Curtis Galbraith (aka-Goiter) serves up a huge portion of buttery bass lines accompanied by lyrical lead vocals that just won’t quit; this boy definitely brings his “A” game. Both Keith and Marty kick in some powerhouse lyrical content throughout the bands vast array of songs to help seal the deal when needed. In March of 2003 an addition was made to the DONUT family bringing guitarist Matt Harmeson (aka-Matty/Mattimus) along with his special “thickening agent” and his “supa-cool” stage presence to the group to help complete the unmistakably original sound created by DONUT.DONUT can be described as progressive, new age rock, perhaps the unclaimed love child of System of a down and Devo. The music is very listener friendly due to the humorous nature of the writing; the lyrics are more focused on sci-fi stories and good times rather than the depressed images depicted by many of today’s musicians. A wide range of influences have contributed to the music of DONUT. Soundgarden, Faith no more, Black Sabbath, Clutch, Tenacious D and Motley Crue are a few who have helped to inspire the group’s writings.Please rock responsibly……Listen to DONUT!
