HARDCORE PUNK ROCK N ROLL BOYBAND FROM HOUSTON FUCKING TEXAS

Beginning as a three-piece psychedelic / shoegaze / garage rock band, and drawing inspiration from such groups as Radiohead and the Beatles, The Døøkie Pëën Experience has taken many forms in its rich history. With the addition of vocalist Calvin Burke in the spring of 2017, the group took on a more experimental sound, though still holding true to its psychedelic roots. In May of that year, the band performed in Cleveland High School’s Battle of the Bands under the name “Pookie Dan,” a more “school-appropriate” play on the name Døøkie Pëën. Attendants of the performance heard such smash hits as “Quiet”, “Lasagna”, and “Eddie”. However, our set was cut short by the administration for “not playing what we said we were going to play” - though I suspect our music was just too avant-garde for the audience to comprehend. Døøkie Pëën was later mentioned in a short article in the Clarion (erroneously describing the group as a funk band) which praised the “experimental masterpiece” that was our set.
The fall of 2017 saw the addition of keyboardist Linus Clark, which added a much-needed structural backbone to the music and incited a shift back towards the more comprehensible psychedelic sound that we were originally intending on exploring. This time period also saw the beginning of Døøkie Pëën’s foray into film production. With the new experimentation in interdisciplinary media, we saw fit to change our name to The Døøkie Pëën Experience, in order to better represent the artistic and innovative side of our work. Considered by some to be the “golden age” of Døøkie Pëën, this era has seen the publication of such works as the Adventures of Lord Ass MacEatus series, and the inception of the Ooga Booga genre of music and comedy.
Although it may seem otherwise to the ignorant observer, The Døøkie Pëën Experience can be described as nothing other than true art. Critics dismiss the group as “a joke band” or “not serious”, even going so far as to describe Døøkie Pëën as “bad”, but they are simply too narrow-minded to truly appreciate the artistic wonder that is The Døøkie Pëën Experience. Art is supposed to make us wonder. Through different interpretations of the natural world, art forces us to contemplate the true nature of things. Combining genres, time periods, and mediums, The Døøkie Pëën Experience is truly the vanguard of the future of art.
