Trash Martini
Trash Martini is a Chicago based cover band playing all the hit songs you know and love from the days of 80's hair metal to the radio friendly pop rock of today. Paying close attention to detail & authenticity, Trash Martini continues to gain a loyal and growing fan base throughout the Midwest with rave reviews.
Formed in 2007 by Ral II and Erik Donner, both sons of multi-platinum recording artist, Ral Donner, who influenced such greats as Robert Plant and John Lennon, the band is made up of former members of Pop-Punkers, Atomic Gents. Sharing Lead Vocal duties, the Donner Brothers give you not one, but two First-Class Vocalists, enabling them to handle a much wider range of music than most. Both Ral and Erik play multiple instruments in the band as well, seamlessly changing from one to the next as their amazing show progresses. Along with The Donner Brothers, you have Chris E. Lange handling Bass, Vocals and Attitude and Dan Kunzer on Lead Guitar, Vocals and Keyboards. These four members have come together to bring you the greatest, most exciting party you have ever witnessed, night after night. With years of collective experience and professionalism from each member of the band, Trash Martini can work their crowd into a frenzy, then bring them back down to an intimate setting with ease, tailoring each and every show to their particular audience. Their stage presence is unparalleled by other music acts and their live show is just as visually stimulating as it is sonically. Whether it's fist-pumping Rock Anthems or melodic acoustic sing-alongs, a Trash Martini show has it all, and then some. Trash's live energy and entertainment value will leave you 100% satisfied, but still always wanting more!
