Alice Donut is an alternative rock band from New York City. They formed in 1986, disbanded in 1996, only to reform in 2004. The band toured relentlessly, and then, after their 1000th live performance, the members decided to take a break to pursue other projects. Theirs is a mixture of hard rock, punk, grunge and post-punk, often punctuated with instruments. Many of the members are traditionally or even classically trained musicians, but rarely in the instruments they play in the band.
Lyrically, Alice Donut often explores depravity, domestic violence, sexuality and food, reflected in songs like ‘My Life is a Mediocre Piece of Shit’ and ‘The Son Of A Disgruntled X-Postal Worker Reflects On His Life While Getting Stoned In The Parking Lot Of A Winn Dixie Listening To Metallica’.
Now in its 20th year, has just completed its 9th full length release, Fuzz. 2004s “Three Sisters”, Alice Donut’s first release after its hiatus, was recorded by the band as a four-piece (Tom Antona on vocals, Michael Jung on guitar, Stephen Moses on drums and Sissi Schulmeister on bass) before the band’s complete reassembling for Fuzz when guitarist Dave Giffen (co-owner of Howler Records), stepped back in on guitar. Fuzz, recorded in Brooklyn’s famed BC Studio with longtime co-producer Martin Bisi, was released on September 05, 2006. Alice Donut’s melodic, guitar-heavy, odd-metered yet deeply grooved takes on the perversities, odd details, petty humiliations and sick joys of life have created a long term loyal following among indie music die-hards, industry insiders and misfit punk rockers.

Absolutely seminal influence on me throughout my teens and early twenties. (....probably explains a lot...) "Dorothy", "Egg", "For Consumer Decency", "Big Cars And Blowjobs", how come none of these are in the top ten? PS - TraumaSponge - you're right about "Tiny Ugly World"

Tiny Ugly World is absolutely one of the best songs ever written. It's like punk rock's Imagine.

Una banda de culto de los 90´. Los directos de Alice Donut son realmente de pronostico reservado, tuve la oportunidad de verles en el SBSW Festival del 93 en Austin TX. Una experiencia rompe bolas escuchar en vivo varios de los temas del disco The Untidy Suicides of Your Degenerate Children.

One of my favorite bands, ever. So different, so creative. Also good for the "Nobody has ever heard of it" cred. "Lisas father" will get you fired from work. I know this first hand.

Great, great band, probably the most underrated of the 90s. Incredible live. Tuneful, sleazy, perfect. Jane's Addiction is Alice Donut lite.

Lscanlan - Revenge Fantasies... is easy to find on CD. Every major online store will have it.

I'm pretty sure it's got something to do with them not having much on CD, or alteast that I can find :( Has anyone got revenge fantasies of the impotent on cd or know of a download as unfortunately I cannot scrobble vinyl...?

I thought they were way more popular than this. It's a disgrace how unknown they are.
