Wank Punter To Perform At 8th Annual "Everthing To Do With Sex Show" In Toronto
Controversial Canadian rock band Wank Punter has announced that they will be performing at the 8th annual “Everything To Do With Sex Show”, in Toronto on Saturday, October 20, 2007 on the Feature Stage. The band will also be hosting a booth on the show floor, manned by XXX Film Stars Regan Anthony and Ryder Skye, along with KSEX Radio personality Tony Batman. Wank Punter CDs, merchandise, and memorabilia, as well as photographs and autographs from the adult industry stars in attendance, will all be available to visitors at the booth.
Wank Punter is Canada’s very own rock/porn band, with two CDs worth of hard-driving rock and roll songs that are informed and influenced by the world of adult entertainment. The band, musical descendants of the outrageous Frank Zappa, are veterans of dozens of controversial shows in venues throughout Canada and the US. Fans have most recently enjoyed performances by the band on Playboy TV’s “Nite Calls with Jesse Jane”, and Wank Punter also performed live in 2006 at the legendary Sunset Strip venue Whiskey-A-Go-Go, once home to music legends The Doors and Guns N Roses.
Wank Punter’s eponymous first CD – now out of print and a collector’s item – was released in 2005 on a small, independent label. Featuring songs like “Glory Hole Gloria” and “Oh My Felicia!”, the disc enabled the band to garner attention both inside and outside the adult film world. No strangers to playing live onstage, the band performed at various adult industry expos, marketing their product at every stop and winning new fans with every live performance. Since then, Wank Punter has seen their popularity skyrocket. They now count Canadian promoter Gary Cormier – the promoter who helped to bring bands such as The Ramones and The Police to Canadian audiences for the first time – as a team member. The list of events the band has played is long, and they show no signs of slowing down. They plan to return to the studio and begin work on their third album – tentatively titled “Plain Brown Wrapper” – after their appearance at the “Everything To Do With Sex Show”.
Wank Punter’s current CD, featuring packaging that makes it look like a large condom wrapper, is entitled “Unlubricated” and is available now on itunes.com, as well as at select retailers throughout Canada. Containing songs like “Driver”, “Kirsten Price” and “Girl Like You”, it promises to be a smash hit for the group. For more information, to order the CD, or to check out samples of the band’s music, check out WankPunter.com
Toronto’s sexiest consumer show, the “Everything To Do With Sex Show” is back for its 8th year in a row. The show plans to push visitors to their sexual limits this year with a hotter, sexier, more romantic and edgier show than ever before! The show will take place at the Automotive Building at the Exhibition Place in Toronto over the weekend of October 19-21, 2007. Admittance is restricted to 19 and over. “This year,” the show’s organizers claim, ”We’ve upgraded the entertainment and have many new acts that will keep you on your toes. They’ll be a variety of exhibitors, from the latest in sex toys, lingerie, videos, and other adult products, to a multitude of other sexy products including oysters, wine, cigars, travel, health and beauty products, and everything else of interest to the romantic minded. We also have many different types of seminars to fill your cravings. This show draws in curious adults who want to explore their sexuality. We cover every topic from dirty talk to sex toys. We present sex and romance and everything to do with it, in a fun, non-threatening environment that appeals to couples and singles alike.” |

Wank Punter to Perform at Toronto's Everything to Do With Sex Show
Canada's porn-rock madmen gear up to record third album TORONTO - Porn-rock band Wank Punter is on board to perform at the 8th annual Everything to Do With Sex Show at Toronto's Exhibition Place the weekend of Oct. 19-21.
In addition to the band's show on the Feature Stage Saturday, Oct. 20, they will be hosting a booth on the convention floor throughout the event. KSEX Radio's Tony Batman, Ryder Skye and Regan Anthony will be on hand to greet fans .
Describing themselves as "Frank Zappa meets Cheap Trick over at Van Halen's place with [the] vocal sensibilities of the Beatles," Wank Punter has performed at the legendary Whiskey-A-Go-Go and on Playboy TV's "Night Calls," among other places, and has produced such porn-influenced ditties as "Glory Hole Gloria," "Kirsten Price," "Sex Worker" and "Captain Cockblock."
The Toronto-based band has released two albums since forming in 2005 — "Wank Punter" and "Unlubricated" — and plans a return to the studio following the Everything to Do With Sex Show to record a third, tentatively titled "Plain Brown Paper."
The group is also featured in the November issue of Genesis magazine in a 2-page article by Tim Case Walker, and has wrapped an appearance in a TV drama series about strippers directed by Zalman King of 9 1/2 Weeks, Red Shoe Diaries and Blue Sunshine fame.
"The band played a key role in the episode and our two dancers were offered principal speaking roles as a result," Wank Punter spokesman told AVN. "Best of all, they licensed two songs for the series with more to come." |

Naughty meets nice at the 2007 Sex Show
The 2007 Sex Show will be causing quite a stir this weekend at the International Centre, 6900 Airport Rd., with sexy seminars, seductive attire, sinful toys and much X-rated fun spread out over three days.
With hundreds of exhibitors showing thousands of high-quality products and services and tens of thousands of people expected to attend the sex-themed consumer show Friday to Saturday, sex, romance, wellness and education will be thrust into the spotlight.
Along with racy fashion shows, entertainment on the mainstage this year features the newest, wildest Toronto band to emerge onto the music and porn scene, Wank Punter.
The six-piece porn-rock band -- as seen on Playboy TV -- are set to rock the Sex Show at 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. One member in the audience will be the lucky winner of a contest running now with Dot On Shaft Guitars, a new Canadian manufacturer and distributor of quality guitars and basses -- he or she will take home a spanking-new double-neck electric guitar.
In attendance all weekend is Triple X hardcore porn star Sunny Lane, adding extra sizzle to the Sex Show. The buxom blonde starlet will be signing autographs and posing for pictures at the Wank Punter exhibit booth. She will also be introducing the porn-rock band on stage.

Do good girls watch porn?
If not – or if so – does that make them a good (or not) person?
Trying to figure out the differences is not a simple task. It's not made any easier by watching roughly seven hours of feminist porn. (Although, washing down a giant bag of frozen licorice, with a jumbo coffee, is more conducive to thought than one might think.)
The research materials came courtesy of Toronto sex shop Good for Her and resembled work that was showcased at the shop's second annual Feminist Porn Awards last Friday.
The awards honour films that involve women who are positively and actively involved in porn industry roles ranging from actresses to directors. Anyone who thinks they know what female-oriented porn looks like might be shocked at how explicit this material is. No soft lighting, medieval dresses or long-haired men on unicorns in sight. It's porn.
Or, as shop manager Chanelle Gallant says: women enjoying pleasure and creative control, working with men who don't resemble overbaked slices of Peking duck.
This Friday hundreds – perhaps thousands – of sex enthusiasts will head to The Sex Show at the International Centre, near Pearson International Airport.
The three-day event, featuring porn icon Ron Jeremy, promises workshops on everything from fitness, Tantric sex and body oils to bondage gear.
There will also be porn and it's unlikely the majority of it was created with feminist sensibilities in mind. (The chance to win free breast implants is the tip-off.)
No matter your views on porn, can't we all agree that watching a band called Wank Punter would be worth the price of admission? Come on, they're giving away a guitar.
But back to bad girls and good feminists: If your interest is piqued by mainstream pornography – where we assume women are basically props – or if you like it, does it make you anti-feminist? Not a good person?
If you get turned on by feminist porn, can you still be considered a good, or virtuous, girl?
That some pornography objectifies and demeans women is about as certain as the fact water runs downhill. How different genders process pornography, and what that says about perceptions of women, isn't quite as simple.
That's one of countless points being tackled by Dr. Bobby Noble, assistant professor in the new Sexuality Studies program at York University. The first class graduated in April; the program operates within York's Women's Studies program. Students enrolled in Noble's year-long course – nicknamed Porn 101 – take on three months of theory before their first film.
Noble says women who watch porn can sometimes be stigmatized – he explains some might see it as: "There is no way to be a good woman who watches porn."
He says it's important to recognize feminist porn isn't the only porn "good" for women, a point its creators also admit. Rather, it's just picking up on the complexities of conventional porn and turning the vantage point on its head.
Labelling mainstream, or mass-distributed, porn as "bad," or assuming the women and men who watch it are anti-feminist, is just too simple a conclusion to draw.
It's a difficult concept for some, but good women watch porn – all kinds. You're not a bad girl if it takes a few dozen films, or trade shows, to figure out what turns you off – or on – or whether you want anything to do with porn at all.
If you're worried about what people think, just call it research.

How can the land that spawned both Tina Tyler and Rush not be sexy? The Sex Show, a production of Exotica Canada to be held at Toronto's International Centre (Hall 5) on June 8 and 9, features the standard passel of porn star appearances (Sunny Lane will be cavorting onstage with "porn-rock" band Wank Punter) and adult product exhibitors, but also offers a large slate of consumer-oriented seminars, including "The Secrets of Male Multiple Orgasm" (which would get real messy real quick unless your receptacle was open-ended). Somehow the event seems friendlier than similar shows south of the border, probably because of the nearness of Gordon Lightfoot. At the very least, it seems closer to the heart. - GP

Local porn-rockers Wank Punter have taken the

our attempts to bed our targets. Grinding out solid
rock music, they will make you laugh, and their
explosive shows involve sexy ladies, provocative
pyrotechnics, and the intriguing personas and wild
costumes of all six members. And we can't forget
Sassy Fluffette, the eye candy. Having heated up
Playboy TV and Whiskey A Go-Go in L.A., Wank Punter
will rock the Opera House, 735 Queen St. E., Friday.
I think they rock, and all deserve a big O -- standing

TORONTO, Canada — KSEX Radio hosts Monica Mayhem and Tony Batman are heading to Toronto for Wank Punter's XXXmas Show at The Opera House Dec. 15.
"This is going to be a great show, and I'm fucking psyched that Wank Punter asked us to come along with them for this," Batman said. "Peter Anthony is handling the comedy warm up, and since I've been friends with him and members of WP for a while, it was a great opportunity for us to work together. Of course, when my co-host is as incredible as Monica, it sure didn't hurt that WP got her tits in the deal as well."
The Opera House is known for being a venue that holds onto all of its old-school charm, stemming from its days in the 1900s as a vaudeville theatre. Batman warned that things might get out of hand, however.
"Wank Punter is all about the sex in 'sex, drugs and rock and roll,'" Batman said. "It's perfect for Monica and I to bring along our friends from the adult industry and really heat up Toronto."
At this year's KSEX Awards, Mayhem was named the hottest KSEX Babe, while Batman received the Mike Rick memorial award.id

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. -- Which comes first? Naughty song lyrics or rampant sexual promiscuity? The mainstream media have already drawn their own conclusions, but the adult industry can make up its own mind when it attends the official after party for 'Porn Rock' band Wank Punter, this Thursday, August 10 at Tangerine in West Hollywood. You can start the evening's promiscuity at 10 p.m., when the "Pre" After Party gets started two hours before the band begins to spew its filthy lyrics a block away at The Whiskey. Confused? Just come out and party with us all.
Black Widow Talent, World Wide Entertainment, Elite Entertainment and The Floating World present "Wank Punter: The Before & After Party", from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. at Tangerine, 8788 Sunset Blvd. (at Holloway), West Hollywood, Calif.
Already confirmed for the party are Mia Rose, Tyler Faith, Wankus, Lexi Lamour, Cytherea, Rita Faltoyano, Regan Anthony, Tommy Gunn, Marcus Allen and newcomer Cocoa Shannele. Adult industry can RSVP to Ric Williams, ric@blackwidowproductions.com, to be placed on the VIP list.
Ric Williams, of Black Widow Talent (http://www.talentbw.com) and Black Widow Productions (http://www.blackwidowproductions.com), is sponsoring the party to celebrate the launch of his new talent agency. Black Widow Talent is one of the only four licensed and bonded agencies in the adult industry, and a legitimate gateway for talent seeking work within the mainstream as well it's Stormy Daniels' official mainstream booking agency. Ric will be there with Team Tyler (http://www.tylerfaith.com <http://www.officialteamtyler.com> ) and Lexi Lamour (http://www.lexilamour.com), partners from both sides of his business.
Wank Punter (http://www.wankpunter.com) is not your typical rock n' roll band. Granted, it isn't the first time sex and rock has walked the aisle of unholy matrimony, as they are rather obvious bedfellows. But, where the bands that have influenced these raucous rockers have left off, Wank Punter has dutifully taken the baton and raised the gritty, prurient quotient substantially. Porn stars: if you'd like to be on Wank Punter's list at the Whiskey, hit up pr@wankpunter.com.
There will be a media area on the terrace for photo ops and interviews, and Pamela Peaks and her TV crew will be on hand. Media interested in attending the party (and/or the Wank Punter show) should write to Terri Redor, terri@thefloatingworld.com to be placed on the list.
Terri Redor of The Floating World (http://www.thefloatingworld.com) will be at the party to turn performers on to a new webmaster site created specifically to promote porn stars' own affiliate programs (http://www.promotepornstars.com). The site launches in September. Let him know you'd like your site(s) to be included.
Tangerine (http://www.tangerine.la) is just a block away from the world famous Whiskey; you can park at either venue and attend both the band's show and the after party with ease. Valet parking is available at both venues.
Tangerine features a plush lounge-like atmosphere plus an outdoor courtyard with spectacular views of the city.

http://www.fortsaskatchewanrecord.com/story.php?id=239515
From
the Hallways of the Fort to the Small Screen
Fort Saskatchewan
Record — Her
remarkable journey has taken her from the East
Coast, Lamont, to the Fort, to the West Coast.
For Amanda Druken, who goes by the stage name
of Dark Bonita, the trek has been eventful.
"I absolutely did not think for a second when I was going to school
in the Fort that I’d be where I am now. I had no idea whatsoever," said
Druken, who now calls the Toronto area home.
"At that time I don’t think that I’d even be in Toronto."
She
and her family, that still live in Bruderheim, originally called Newfoundland
home.
"I just wasn’t
a big fan of small towns. I lived in Bruderheim
and went to school in Fort Saskatchewan. The biggest place I had ever lived
in had only 1,100 people. That got to me eventually, I thought I was too
big for small town life. I saw where everybody else was going and I didn’t
like it."
She now splits her
time between touring with the Ontario band, Wank
Punter, and operating her own business, Masquerade
Entertainment.
"I met them when
I was doing event planning for swingers clubs.
I was in a partnership with another girl doing
parties in the escort industry. I needed some help
with web hosting and that’s
how I got in touch with Marshall," said
Druken.
"He liked the
concepts that I had. Soon he decided to take it
a step further and incorporate music into the parties.
We can’t be too serious when you’re
singing about sex and porn," she said with a laugh."
You
can see Druken if you’ve got a computer starring in the
band’s
first music video, ‘South Pole Boogie’.
"I wanted
to do something that was outrageous and that pushed the limits.
By marrying porn and rock n roll I was lead to the Wank Punter
concept," said
Marshall Stack, Wank Punter’s producer.
"The song
took off on the internet and its been leading us ever since.
The demand for the song, and the music video that eventually
came out has been overwhelming."
The video for ‘South
Pole Boogie’ pays homage
to an adult film star, Mike South.
"We’re
definitely a live band you can’t really get
the full effect from listening to the CD," said
Druken.
The band’s blues – rock
sound has garnered them the attention of some big
names in entertainment including Playboy TV who
has asked them to perform live Aug. 11.
They’ll
be feature entertainers on the program Night
Calls Live, hosted by Jessie Jane.
"They sent
me a press kit. One of the things that I’m
looking for in the bands is that they can somehow
tie into the show , the theme and the content
of it," said Derek Harvie of Playboy Studios,
producers of Night Calls Live.
"The bands
play us in and out of breaks, they play whenever
guests enter and exit the show as well wrapping
up the show at the end. They act like a house
band, but they’re gone the next week. Most
of the bands we’ve had
on are up and coming bands like Mondo Generator,
and Buckcherry. As long as the bands are good and
can connect with the content of the show then we’re
good."
In addition to their
live performance the band has sold broadcast
rights to their song ‘Supersize
Me’ to the show.
"The one thing
that was cool about them was when we first talking
I was looking for a new theme song for the
show. They submitted a cool song that we didn’t
end up using, but that we use occasionally," said
Harvie.
Reality has not yet
set in for her or for the group.
"I never thought that this would get this far, especially when we started
out just to do this for parties. Now that we’ve got this far it’s
really exciting for all of us," said
Druken.
"I think that this will all surprise my friends out west. I haven’t
stayed in touch with a lot of them. I think it would surprise them to see where
I am. It’s definitely made me grow as a person. If I had stayed there I
don’t think that I’d be the person
I am today."
Her interests in her high school years
were boys.
"I didn’t think about what I’d do after - school, I was too
busy with friends, boys, and hanging out."
Amanda’s younger brother, Rodney, looks
to his sister for inspiration.
"She’s my entrepreneur. She has taught me a lot and keeps me out of
trouble," said Rodney.
"Now that I’ve seen what she has done I’ve got something to
work towards."
Her parents are both very supportive of
her.
"My Mom loves that I’m going to be on T.V. She’s really excited
about it. I think as long as I’m not in porn she’ll be supportive
of whatever I do," said Druken.
"I don’t talk to my Dad as much as I do my Mom, but from what she’s
told me he seems to think it’s pretty
cool too."
Stack told the Record that Wank Punter
will be embarking on a cross country tour
later this year.
Until then if you’re heading east this
summer you can catch them playing at the
Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto, July 29.

airing on Playboy Television, where it will air
on April 28 as part of its “Best of Night
Calls” segment.
The band’s debut CD on the RA Records label, “Wank
Punter,” is now available in retail stores,
including the Record Man, CD Plus and other retailers
and on the band’s Web site, www.wankpunter.com
and other online distributors.
Marshall Stack, said
the deal with Playboy gives the band a chance at
increased name recognition.
“Hopefully, this will amount to more sales
and stronger brand awareness for RA,” he
said, adding that his label plans to push the band
through strategic placement ads in both, mainstream
and adult-oriented media.
The band was formed in February 2005 as an effort
to mix the its love of music, comedy and porn,
the group’s Web site says. Its members are
Feedback, Drip Dry McFly, Gunnar Lingus, Joey A.
Bigapini, Discombobulator and Wonderbread.
Among their porn idols
is producer/director Mike South, of whom they
sing about in their song “South
Pole Boogie.”

Wank Punter: The
Before & After Party
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif.
-- Which comes first? Naughty song lyrics or
rampant sexual promiscuity? The mainstream media
have already drawn their own conclusions, but the
adult industry can make up its own mindwhen it
attends the official after party for 'Porn Rock'
band Wank Punter, this Thursday, August 10 at Tangerine
in West Hollywood.
You can start the evening's promiscuity at 10
p.m., when the "Pre" After Party gets
started – two hours before the band begins
to spew its filthy lyrics a block away at The Whiskey.
Confused? Just come out and party with us all.
Black Widow Talent, World Wide Entertainment,
Elite Entertainment and The Floating World present "Wank
Punter: The Before & After Party", from
10 p.m. to 2 a.m. at Tangerine, 8788 Sunset Blvd.
(at Holloway), West Hollywood, Calif.
Already confirmed for the party are Mia Rose,
Tyler Faith, Wankus, Lexi Lamour, Cytherea, Rita
Faltoyano, Regan Anthony, Tommy Gunn, Marcus Allen
and newcomer Cocoa Shannele. Adult industry can
RSVP to Ric Williams, ric@blackwidowproductions.com,
to be placed on the VIP list.
Ric Williams, of Black Widow Talent (http://www.talentbw.com)
and Black Widow Productions (http://www.blackwidowproductions.com),
is sponsoring the party to celebrate the launch
of his new talent agency.Black Widow Talent is
one of the only four licensed and bonded agencies
in the adult industry, and a legitimate gateway
for talent seeking work within the mainstream as
well – it's Stormy Daniels' official mainstream
booking agency. Ric will be there with Team Tyler
(http://www.tylerfaith.com) and Lexi Lamour (http://www.lexilamour.com),
partners from both sides of his business.
Wank Punter (http://www.wankpunter.com) is not
your typical rock n' roll band. Granted, it isn't
the first time sex and rock has walked the aisle
of unholy matrimony, as they are rather obvious
bedfellows. But, where the bands that have influenced
these raucous rockers have left off, Wank Punter
has dutifully taken the baton and raised the gritty,
prurient quotient substantially. Porn stars: if
you'd like to be on Wank Punter's list at the Whiskey,
hit up pr@wankpunter.com.
There will be a media area on the terrace for
photo ops and interviews, and Pamela Peaks and
her TV crew will be on hand. Media interested in
attending the party (and/or the Wank Punter show)
should write to Terri Redor, terri@thefloatingworld.com
to be placed on the list.
Terri Redor of The Floating World (http://www.thefloatingworld.com)
will be at the party to turn performers on to a
new webmaster site created specifically to promote
porn stars' own affiliate programs (http://www.promotepornstars.com).
The site launches in September. Let him know you'd
like your site(s) to be included.
Tangerine (http://www.tangerine.la) is just a
block away from the world famous Whiskey; you can
park at either venue and attend both the band's
show and the after party with ease. Valet parking
is available at both venues. Tangerine features
a plush lounge-like atmosphere plus an outdoor
courtyard with spectacular views of the city.
World Wide Entertainment & Elite
Entertainment can be reached for questions about
the venue, event management, etc., at elite_ent_one@yahoo.com.

circle August 9th on your calendar
Toronto -- The porn rock comedy band, Wank Punter
is scheduled to appear live on the Wanker Show
with venerable host Wankus on KSEX Radio August
9th@ 7pm. Be sure to tune in and catch the zany
action as the boys and girls ofthe band bring their
brand of debauchery and mayhem to the left coast.
Theyll be performing select tracks from their
forthcoming sophomore release entitled Supersize
Me as well as cuts from their eponymous debut Wank
Punter. And, if youve ever wondered what it would
be like touring in arock band with hot chics with
no morals, well youll just have to tune into the
show! I mean, who needs groupies when youve got
the Fluffettes!
According to lead singer Joey Bigipini, whenever
we get bored, we simply audition new girls! It
doesnt get any better than this! Feedback chirps
in: Theres a hardcore video release in there somewhere.
Its why we never leave home without a hi-def camera.
Hailing from Toronto Canada, it would seem odd
that a band well over 5000 kilometers away from
the epicenter of porn would be singing about the
porn industry with such insight and frankness.
One would think that they actuallylived or are
living the life after reading some of the lyrics
they have penned.
Upon speaking with Feedback, the de-facto leader
and founder of the band, my instincts proved correct.
Not only has he been in the adult biz for a considerable
period of time and in many capacities beginning
as a driver foran escort agency, his background
in mainstream entertainment had him experiencing
a number of intriguing situations where he sat
and watched two worlds collide.
Not that hes ready to mention any names, but hes
seen a few execs and cultural icons from the mainstream
world unwittingly expose their proclivities for
service providers of all stripes. He states, that
in and to itself provides more than enough material
for future songs.
Show date: August 9th 7pm: http://www.ksexradio.com;
