Red Dons

A punk band from Portland Oregon, The Red Dons are the continuation of the Observers. After members abruptly left the band in 2005, Douglas Burns, the Observers’ lead singer, artist, and primary songwriter teamed up with Hajji Husayn to continue on with the band. Husayn’s involvement with the Observers made this a natural pairing. Next, they added Derek Skokan (Revisions) on drums and Justin Maurer (Clorox Girls) on guitar and re-named this new line-up the Red Dons. Skokan was later replaced by Richard Joachim.

Jonny Lives!

Iggy Pop meets Al Gore. That's the best way to describe the unique and spirited work of Jonny Dubowsky, lead singer of the popular rock band Jonny Lives, and founder of Rock'n'Renew, a non-profit organization that educates youth about global warming and the sustainability of our planet. "I have seen the powerful effect of uniting people to make even the smallest earth-saving changes in their daily lives," Jonny Dubowsky says.
