10 REASONS TO SEE 59 DONUTS

by Eric Radezky

10.
To hear Karl Knoop play the harmonica. He was taught by Bob Dylan you know. No, wait. That wasn't Bob Dylan. I'm thinking of someone else.

9.
On stage, lead guitarist Keith Keily becomes filled with the rage and hellfire of Satan himself and lets that energy flow into his ax. That or we just need to get him to switch to decaff.

8.
Because of all the screaming, topless female fans you'll find amongst the hoards of dozens of fans at any Donuts' show.

7.
To hear the Celine Dione-like stylings of vocalist Henry Stewart.

6.
The live, on-stage strippers (one of whom may or may not be Georgia).

5.
At $20,000 per show, the amazing psychedelic light show the Donuts use is the most expensive ever. (This is meant to dispel the rumor that the only lighting effects they could afford was a guy standing in the corner with a flash light.)

4.
Hmm... you could pay probably $125.00 to see Springsteen live at the Meadowlands this summer, or you could pay a buck twenty-five to see the donuts live at the beautiful and oh-so-spacious Spiral in New York's East Village. What would you do? Right. Springsteen.

3.
Because you never know what instruments the Donuts will be whipping out...harmonica, accordion, bagpipes, glockenspiel...

2.
For a limited time, Keith Richards will be playing with the Donuts! "How did the Donuts get Keith Richards," you ask? It's very simple, my friend: I'm lying.

...And Finally...

1.
Because ex-Donut Steve Korman vows to blow the band up on stage at a random concert event and if you go to one of their shows, maybe you will get to see it! Talk about a finale!
