Peace, Love n' Donuts

“Abbey Road is famous for that side 2 medley which includes Mean Mr. Mustard, Polythene Pam, She Came in Through The Bathroom Window and ends up with the awesome drum solo and battling monster guitars on The End. So I thought what would it be like if the entire album was a medley… with a Christmas theme? I don’t know if anyone has ever done a parody of an entire album before.”

Donuts enlisted his pals from The Fest for Beatles Fans and had faith it would all “Come Together” (the first song on Abbey Road)

“We put this whole thing together in Gintas’s living room. He has this awesome computerized musical playland in his house. Big D e-mailed us music files from Southern Indiana. He laid down a bass line and played his 12-string guitar along to a click-track. We then brought in Bob Dobro from Liverpool Legends who did his magic on keys. Gintas added drums, some bass, electric guitar, sound effects and background vocals. We recorded all the vocals in an all-night marathon recording session, finishing up in the wee hours of December 23^rd, 2008. Since there wasn’t enough time to give it a proper release for last Christmas, we’re releasing it right before Thanksgiving. It’s never too early for Christmas music when that music is your favorite Beatles’ songs!”
Donuts also honors the day after Thanksgiving and Hanukkah. Sun King becomes Retail King and Because (The Hanukkah Version) has a little Jewish boy asking an elder questions like why he doesn’t get to go to the mall to wait in line for a chance to sit on a fat man’s lap.

Donuts’ first Christmas Music Comedy album, “Wacky Winterland” has gotten national and local radio airplay on The Doctor Demento Show, Terri Hemmert’s Breakfast With The Beatles on WXRT, WLUP’s Jonathon Brandmeier Show, and WGN’s Steve Cochran Show.

Copies of Crabby Road will be available at the CD Release party on Saturday, November 21, at Donuts on Ice on December 2^nd, The Danny Donuts Holidaze TrolleyDaze Lights Tour on December 12 and online at DonutsnJoe.com/Stuff2Buy
