Doughboys (Canadian band)

[6] Jon Asencio (aka John Bondhead) played bass and Brock Pytel was the band's drummer.

Even though the original label Restless Records had gone bankrupt a deal was arranged so that Electric Distribution in Canada and Malaco in the United States could release the album.

The band opened for Red Hot Chili Peppers on their Canadian tour after attaining the No.

After that album's release and tour Asencio left and was replaced by bassist John Deslaurier, who appeared on the subsequent 5-song EP When Up Turns to Down that features a cover of the B-52s "Private Idaho".

[9] They then recruited Daniel Rey and Dave Ogilvie to produce their major label debut, Crush, which was released in August 1993.

[citation needed] He was replaced for the remainder of the band's tour by Wiz, the former singer/guitarist for Mega City Four.

He has also composed a number of film and TV soundtracks, including work on Phil the Alien, Universal Soldier and B.R.A.T.S of the Lost Nebula.

In 2000 Kastner along with Jon Bond Head made a guest appearance on Brock Pytel's solo album Second Choice.

He also produced a number of albums, and also spent a six-month stint playing with the Besnard Lakes.

Wiz formed Serpico and Ipanema, but died in London, England on December 6, 2006 from a blood clot on the brain.

Doughboys reunited briefly in the summer of 2011 as support for the Canadian leg of a Foo Fighters tour.
