Brain Donor Biography

Brain Donor are an English power trio formed in July 1999 by author/musician/occultist Julian Cope and two Spiritualized members Doggen Foster (lead guitar) and drummer Kevin 'Kevlar' Bales. Wearing full make-up in the kabuki style of early Kiss (Hotter Than Hell), the band's curious aims are said to be a desire to combine Van Halen-esque heavy metal with garage rock in the style of Blue Cheer, and Japanese bands High Rise and Mainliner. Their infamous May 2000 live debut at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall is said to have cleared the room.

The band's debut album 'Love Peace & Fuck' was hammered mercilessly by the press for its gratuitous soloing and guitar heavy production. But with the recent return of heavy metal values to underground music via re-appraissals of Blue Cheer and Sir Lord Baltimore, 'Love Peace & Fuck' has since come to be regarded by the new American Underground as something of a classic, and a US compilation of the band was released in 2005, on San Francisco's Mister E. Records. The same year, a song entitled 'Messages' from the second Brain Donor album 'Too Freud To Rock 'n' roll, Too Jung To Die', appeared in the American movie 'The Lost'.

NB: Kevlar Bales has since been replaced by new drummer Mr. E.
