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.
