disBAND: Dog Bus

April 8th, 2009

[Find out if Dog Bus was told to disBAND - Watch online now! Here's what the guys had to say about their experience on the show...]

Oh! Hey. I didn’t see you there. My name’s Jules Mkools & I’m one half of the group Dog Bus. Recently the people who run MuchMusic wet their pants. You may be wondering why they in fact did this. Well I’m going to tell you.

After checking out our website, MuchMusic decided to film us for disBAND. We’re a hip hop group from Waterloo, Ontario that fuses dance, hip hop, crunk, rap and rock together to make amazing music that will blow your mind. Imagine if your favourite band played a show at an amusement park and it was in space with free ice cream, robots, and a flying unicorn party. That’s how our shows have been described. I’m 17 and my brother Jakey Mkspankey, the other half of the group, is 11. Yeah. That’s right.

We were so excited when we found out that we would be on the show! So excited infact, that Jakey sadly fell into a coma. The Jakey you see in the episode is actually a robot. So on the down side, because of MuchMusic my brother fell into a coma, but on the good side, at least I finally got the robot I’ve always been wishing for. Thanks! It was so fun to actually be inside of MuchMusic and meet people like Greig Nori. It was really cool to hear his feedback and hang out with him even though he did get kinda annoying when he kept asking to join our band every 2 seconds. Haha. Watch that guy; he’s gonna be big some day. We probably got some of the best reactions from the judges in the history of the show and our robot helped us tear the roof off during our performance. Thanks to everyone at MuchMusic for being so nice to us & giving us the opportunity to take the Dog Bus to television!

We’re also having a cd release party at The Starlight in Waterloo May 14 @ 7:00 and we’d love it if you came!

You can get info, shows, music, videos and tons more at our website www.myspace.com/rockindogbus
Thanks for checkin’ us out & you’re welcome for being so awesome.

- Love yours truly,
Dog Bus

  1. These guys are a disgrace to the format of the show, and the fact that they got told they had what it takes, totally takes away all credibilty from the judges. These two kids are nothing but a dumb joke. I’m sorry Much Music, but you have totally lost it.

  2. They are really talented for their age
    Juls looks like he has the personality of Jean Leloup a french Canadian legend look him up you’ll see they kind of are similar

    good luck guys you seem one the right track

  3. sucked hardcore

  4. Yo this band is the best pretty much in the history of the show!
    They’re not being serious they’re joking
    They’re songs are funny and so awesome and catchy

  5. These kids should get their own show on muchmusic!!! They’re amazing

  6. You guys were good I like you music…consider me a fan

  7. I think Dogbus is extremely talented. They definitely brought something new to the table. I loved their energy and you can tell they are doing what they love to do.

    Good-Luck DogBus…I hope all your dreams come true!!

  8. they are amazing!
    i loved them sooo much :)

    i wish i had a robot, that would be so hot, that would be so hot, if i had a robot.

  10. They are okay, it was kinda funny

  11. Dog bus is a legit band that would completly command the charts if they were given the chance and advertising. I understand why some people would believe that this band is a joke but life isn’t about seriousness and money. Its also about the perks of our daily lives. For me that perk today was this bands preformance;The band heered me up so much that i visited the muchmusic site for the first time ever.

    Fantastic preformance!

  12. They were horrible. Yeah, it was entertaining, but they can’t sing/rap for s**t.

    Much Music, what were you thinking!
    AND GREIG NORI!!!!!!! YOU ARE ACTING LIKE THEY’RE GOD!

    THEY SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  13. You either

    A) Were jealous that they could do so well
    B) Can’t appreciate the different kinds of music in the world
    C) Live in a pessimistic lifestyle
    or
    D) All of the above

    Even if all these things dont apply, you must have smiled a bit during thier preformance

  14. nice to see people enjoying music for a change.
    you guys are so talented for your age. good luck with the future.
    don’t mind the haters there just jelous.

  15. i have read the commenta and 1 or 2 of u guys are missing the point..these 2 kids are great…do u know why? cos they made me forget about all the stress i have been going through this past 2 weeks…i could not stop smiling and was glad that the song they were singing had nothing to do with sex and killing and drugs. they were real kids having fun and the judges knew that…yes hey will need a lot of cleaning up but man it was about time to see people have fun and create their own beats and songs…they made everything u heard and look how young they were. my sister who is a music critic even surprisingly liked them cos they made her smile…i think they should have their own show

  16. THEY’RE THE BESSST! IN THE GALAXY OF THE WORLD EVERRR

    By Alyssaaa on April 9, 2009 at 11:01 pm |
  17. wow, I can’t believe this. This band got the thumbs up? speechless…

    By Jordan on April 10, 2009 at 9:48 am |
  18. I agree these guys are really really bad,(i am not a racist person but this is what i say)First of all their lyrics suck, the older one can’t rap, and if u wanna be a rapper why are u in tight tops and skinny jeans????i believe people can rap if the are good like classified and eminem but these guys are a joke. the younger one jakob i think can improve and their beats are good but they know nothing anout rap also the fact that i’m a 14 year old girl and i’m better than them(not because i’m black though)but they were so bad i cant stand it and they wont make it in the industry

  19. Haters stop hating. These guys are good. Lots of potential and way better than some of the crap this show had on before. “I WISH I HAD A ROOOOOBOT”!

  20. They were good for kids but not for a sufficient level within a crumbling music industry. BE COMPLETELY HONEST using intelligence. What rapper from Canada has ever sold in the USA more than 100,000 units in the USA as well as Canada? Plus myspace plays and views usually show a sufficient amount of fans on a world wide basis on a whole.

    Much Music needs to re-due the entire show with judges who matter and know music. Every judge that they have on that show is a joke and show no sufficient determination on a credible level as being arbitrators towards knowing what good music is. I don’t believe this show will be in existence next year and only shows the truth to the ones who watch it still of a music industry that is falling in CD sales.

  21. Don’t listen to the haters. Dog Bus is awesome. Your energy and sense of fun is as infectious as your love of robots.
    I wish I had a robot.

  22. I loved them! The hook was really catchy. Their other songs on myspace are really awesome too! Finally, an entertaining young band! BIG FAN!

  23. Amazing…. simply amazing.

  24. I agree I was very confused at first and I didn’t like their music. But, even though I’m not a fan of their music, I can honestly say that these two kids deserve a lot of respect because they are true to themselves in their original artistic expression… which is something I cannot say about those looser emo/punk bands that all sound the same and that are always on the show. Good luck to dog bus and keep making music that you love.

  25. I thought these guys were amazing. They’re great performers and nobody else on DisBand has done what they’ve done. It looks like they’re actually having fun, and honestly, I think that’s what music should be about. I really do wish I had a robot and their songs are just real and upbeat… and Jules is pretty cute. =). I’ll definately be buying their album on iTunes.

  26. they were absolutely awesome and the best of all seems to be having a lot of fun…. which is definitely infectious to audience… they need to packaged up properly and marketed the right way… cause they can actually go mainstream. And i definitely wished i had a robot.

  27. I LOVE THESE GUYS SO MUCH! LOL THEY’RE THE BESSST OMG

  34. THEY SHOULD HAVE AN EFFING SKETCH SHOW OR SOMETHING YO!

    By DAVEY123 on April 13, 2009 at 4:18 pm |
  35. 100% THAT WOULD BE THE BEST

    By VINDIESELFAN on April 13, 2009 at 4:20 pm |
  36. It was certainly one of the most entertaining things I’ve seen in a long time. I busted a gut watching you guys, it was hilarious!

    The fact that you weren’t trying to be a serious band that this is the make it or break it moment in your life and just went and had fun made it awesome. The judges certainly weren’t bored with you guys sounding like everyone else and playing the same way, so congrats on the thumbs up!

    Jules MKools reminds me of a friend of mine except he doesn’t rap he just draws and says ridiculous things like you do. Keep on ridin’ the dog bus guys!

  37. The older one can kill at rapping! Have u heard they’re song “ice cream”!?
    You’re probably just a white trash loser living in a trailer park! You probably sit around eating chips and drinking koolaid all day! YOU SUCK ANDRA!

    By JESSIE on April 14, 2009 at 4:48 pm |
  38. DO IT!!!

    By JESSIE on April 14, 2009 at 4:48 pm |
  39. I COULD SEE THESE GUYS WITH DA NUMBER 1 SONG ON BILLBOARD !

  40. THEY’RE BETTER AT RAPPING THAN YOU’D EVER BE! HE CAN RAP FAST AS HELL
    Have you heard the friggin songs on their myspace!?

    By Biyhut on April 15, 2009 at 3:19 pm |
  41. I WISH THEY WERE ON DISBAND EVERY EPISODE!!!!!!!! THEY SHOULD BE ON AN OTHER EPISODE SOON TO HELP OUT OR SOMETHING!!! OR GIVE THEM THEIR OWN SHOW MAN! THAT WOULD BE RADDDDDD

  42. Ignore what the haters say. In terms of your genre, i think you do have what it takes reach the top. Alot of so-called “real” music tend to be really depressing these days and needs groups like these to bring us back to the brighter side of the industry.

  43. Well the couldn’t exactly reject the poor 11 year old.

    By Marissa on April 18, 2009 at 7:45 pm |
  44. Why would they anyways you fugly loser!? He’s sickkk at rapping!

  45. i personally think they’re good. People have been saying that they blow.But it’s just not you’re taste in music.
    They’re music is grand. :)

    By Marissa. on May 1, 2009 at 12:17 am |
  46. They Are so cool. I love them!!!♥♥♥

    By Rebecca Joe♥♥♥ on May 13, 2009 at 11:31 am |
  47. OMG i totaly love you guys! i have your song robot on my ipod!!its like 1 of my most played!:) <33

  48. they were freaking hilarious,
    they’re just a fresh annoying kick.
    I can’t say i like them but i defintely don’t hate them.
    they’re more suited like those friends on those crazy nights where we would just bs and dance like idoits.

  49. These kids rock.

    looking forward to hearing from them in the future.

    By Sarah on May 20, 2009 at 9:56 pm |
  50. GIVE THESE KIDS THEIR OWN SHOW!!! OMG THEY WERE AW3SOME!
