Angry Donkey

Established in November 2011, Angry Donkey started out as an acoustic duo called “Ben and Joey, Not the Ice Cream”. At the request of then owner of the Shore, Jason Baran, to have a fuller acoustic sound, Angry Donkey was formed by adding the other two founding members, Rob Lovejoy (Bass) and Arnold Libunao (Electric Drums). Playing for more than a year as an acoustic foursome, and by adding a female vocalist, Ms. Ashley Deniston, Angry Donkey began to evolve into a full-fledged rock and pop cover band. In early 2013, with the evolution of their skills, and the clamoring from an ever growing fan base, Angry Donkey was fully realized into a full-fledged cover rock and pop band with the addition of the final two members; our fabulous lead singer (Kati Caliber), and our super star rapper/keyboard player (A.J. Brandt). Angry Donkey boast an impressive list of venue partners such as: Grauman’s Chinese Theater (Hollywood), Hennessey’s (Manhattan Beach), The Lighthouse, Shore, Studio, Twelve and Highland and Morning View Studios in Malibu. Angry Donkey plays a wide range of cover songs from the 50's until the present pop hits. We have been the “house band” at Shore, formerly Studio, and expect to be the same at the new Standing Room in Hermosa Beach, playing every Saturday night. All but one member of the members of Angry Donkey calls the South Bay their home. We are South bay’s true hometown cover band!
