Back in the 80′s I was at Fitchburg State College earning my degree in basket weaving, between bong hits, I would function as music director at the college radio station, WXPL. That is where Sonic Lobotomy started. I used to do a weekly punk radio show with the same name on the radio station….. Anyway…. there was this long haied dude who also worked at WXPL named Rick Desgres , and he became a good friend. He turned me on to all sorts of cool obscure music like Roky Erickson and the 13th Floor Elevators.
Rick had a band called the Donut Kings. That was 1986. The band is still around today. Rick and I have kept in touch through the miracle of Facebook. I decided to have Rick’s band on the show.
The Donut Kings put on a great performance of catchy originals, and some great , obscure covers. They opened up with their version of “I’m your vehicle” , a great throwback to the sexually liberated 70′s , and they did not let up after that. After the performance, we all headed down to the Beer Works for a beer soaked interview. After all these years, it was great to get The Donut kings on the show.
