Davis & Gilbert's 'Generator Honey' Unseats JWT's 'Jam With Toast' at Advertising Week's Battle of the Ad Bands

In an upset that is sure to ruffle the feathers of perennial Battle of the Ad Bands winner, JWT's Jam With Toast, Davis & Gilbert -- a law firm, no less -- won last night's Battle of the Ad Bands performing as Generator Honey. The annual event, held during Advertising Week, pits ad bands against one another in a battle of musical supremacy.

For a time, McCann's More Fucking Cowbell (yes, that was the band's name) held the top slot. For the past few years, JWT has held the honor of best ad band. That changed this year when the advertising practice of the Davis & Gilbert law firm put up a band called Generator Honey which, true to the band's name, feature a couple of very talented honeys, one of whom confidently strutted the stage in a delicious mini dress and heels.

We have to say all the bands were great. It was truly awesome to see so much talent on the stage from people who do this on the side. Kudos to all for participating.

See all the pictures of all the bands here.

This Dewers Bukowski Rant Will Cause You to Question Your Life

dewars_white_label_live_true.png

Harkening and borrowing from Charles Bukowski's works, this Dewers White Label video entitled "Live True" is, despite what a Dangerous Minds commenter dubbed akin to "mixing Bukowski with that kind of fatuous glib pseudo-anthemic indie shite is like reciting Shelley over the Spice Girls," a beautiful piece of emotionally riveting work that will make you seriously question your direction in life.

There's Almost No Car in This Porsche Ad

Almost harkening the Hill Holiday-created Infiniti launch campaign in which the car was never shown, Fred & Farid Shanghai have created a print campaign for Porsche China that shows juts how difficult it is to keep up with a speeding Porsche. Even for a photographer shooting a print campaign for the brand. Witty
