Please see the guidelines for biographies of living people. Will replaced with sourced info as it is found:
Bonk's first career was as a painter and musician in the East Village, Manhattan during the 1980s. She was known for bringing together many different musicians and painters around a variety of projects, including the largest rock-n-roll band in history, known as the East Village Orchestra, which had over 100 members. Bonk was known for hosting parties and events that brought together the best of her often alienated and disaffected generation of artists and musicians, many of whom went on to become major stars in the entertainment world. Keiko Bonk had two rock-n-roll bands during her time in New York, "His Masters Voice," and "Cosmic Oven," the former of which recorded the album "Missionary" in 1984. Even after returning to her home in Hawaii, and getting re-involved in electoral politics, Keiko Bonk continued to play original music and paint. Her first band after her return was "The Monkey Wrench Gang." She played in "Keiko Bonk and Kazan (volcano)," and released a CD titled "Save the World" in 2007. Bonk's paintings continue to show in occasional shows in Hawaii and around the world.
