He grew up playing in school bands, and knows all the modal scales by heart. Singer Jonny Don’t is famous for horrendously strange lyrics — like a line he dreamed up during a recent jam session about how “everybody’s mom works at the airport.” Drummer Ken Don’t dyes his hair in bright primary colors, but says that swimming-pool green is his natural hue.

Matt Riutta on Lake Merritt- Shot for the Oakland Marathon Feature- East Bay Express

March 17, 2010 News Feature

Here are other pics from the shoot.
