Kiss My Poodles Donkey were an Australian rock band, which formed in 1991. They issued two albums, Kiss My Poodles Donkey (1991) and New Hope for the Dead (1993), before disbanding in 1995.

History

Kiss My Poodles Donkey were formed in 1991 in Sydney by Richard Berckelman on drums, Dave Bullock on percussion and samples, Glenda on bass guitar, Doug Ironside on guitar, Paul Kidney on vocals and Chris Townsend on guitar and vocals.[1][2] Australian musicologist Ian McFarlane described their sound, "a curious blend of hard rock, mutant funk, swamp-blues and free-form jazz."[1]

The band's self-titled, six-track debut extended play was issued in late 1991 via Hot.[1] All of the tracks were written by Townend.[3] McFarlane felt they "developed an adventurousness in the studio that overcame [live performance] restrictions".[1] In the next year, Glenda was replaced on bass guitar by Angela Chenowyth (ex-Stone Circle).[2]

The group released their full-length studio album, New Hope for the Dead, in October 1993.[1] Besides writing all but one track (Prince's "Gett Off"), Townend produced it at Big Jesus Burger studios, Sydney. According to McFarlane, "[it] was patchy, ranging from noisy hard rock to dreary funk".[1] Dale Harrison of Tharunka caught their performance supporting Kim Salmon and the Surrealists at the Phonecian Club in February 1995.[4] He observed, "their sound is such that it is a wholly visceral... Trance like, one has a sense of having travelled unconsciously while listening but no recollection of what has happened".[4]

Townend had formed a rock duo, Crent, as a side-project with guitarist Kent Steedman of the Celibate Rifles, in 1989.[5][6] The duo released an EP, Crent (1990), and an album, Pink Album (1993), before Steedman return to his main band the Celibate Rifles.[5][6]
