The Profile

Brain Donor is a British power trio formed by Julian Cope with guitarist Anthony "Doggen" Foster and drummer Kevin "Kev" Bales. Active mainly from 1999 to 2006, they delivered loud, fuzz-driven garage-psych and hard rock. Key releases include Love Peace & Fuck and Drain'd Boner, plus the collection Too Freud to Rock 'n' Roll, Too Jung to Die.

Members: Julian Cope (vocals, bass/guitar), Anthony "Doggen" Foster (guitar), Kevin "Kev" Bales (drums). Style: garage-psych, hard rock, stoner. Notable releases: Love Peace & Fuck (2001), Drain'd Boner (2006), Too Freud to Rock 'n' Roll, Too Jung to Die (2003).

One ecstatic review hails Brain Donor’s Love Peace & Fuck as a deranged, distorted garage-psych feast led by Julian Cope. It namechecks MC5, Stooges, krautrock, Barrett-era psychedelia, and stoner weight. Highlights include the trance-bent She’s Gotta Have It and the spacey Pagan Dawn. Verdict: a great album, delivered with joyful, noisy excess.
