Who We Are…

Parental Advisory made their first public appearance in 2024, at the first annual Battle of the Bands competition in Moses Lake, WA. They lost. But they seemed to be having a good time.

After that they spent countless hours preparing for the 2025 Battle of the Bands, where they played one of the most crowd-pleasing songs of the night. But they still lost (they claim the voting was rigged, but let’s not go down that road again…)

The Father/Daughter duo has just completed their first studio album, Oganesson, a powerhouse album that can’t figure out what genre it is, but totally rocks.

Parental Advisory is family friendly (provided your family can tolerate songs about aliens, cryptids, and dealing with crazy people. The songs are fun and catchy, but they do deal with some heavy topics. I guess parents would need to be advised ;) (They do play some covers also).

They are available for booking for parties, events, or any other place you want to have a good time and then face existential crisis as you spend sleepless nights contemplating the lyrics or run on sentences. Whatever, just book them. It will be fine.

Tave Donaldson

Long long ago, in a galaxy far far away, Tave Donaldson sat at a computer thinking “Wow, I have no idea what I’m supposed to write in a bio.” Eventually, she decided to give some brief fun facts. Tave enjoys playing in Viking Percussion, her local community college’s drum line, painting, and trying really, really hard to get all A’s in school, and being on her school’s speech and debate team. Tave has been playing the drums for four years, and in that time has learned how to hit the drum correctly and keep the beat for approximately three quarters of one song.

By day, Michael works as a corporate Director, also by day he plays bass, piano, guitar, and makes strange vocalizations loosely related to ‘singing’. Michael has been a multi-instrumentalist since he was in Middle School, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth. He considers bass his primary instrument. Michael writes most of the songs for Parental Advisory, though Tave is starting to add to their repertoire. Michael also runs Pangolin Music Group, recording such famed artists as The Pangaleers and Cats with Bowties.

Michael is a husband, father, musician, and compulsive collector of musical equipment and Legos (I mean, the man owns 15 basses!)
