the new donnas record

They were also Ragady Anne for a brief period.

TAKE IT OFF

hey, whatever happened to the donnas?

As of August 2016, there is no news on the status of a new album. To date, the band's last show was in Sioux City, Iowa on June 15, 2012.

oh :(

I could've sworn I'd seen some news item a few years ago that Donna F had become a hired gun songwriter/producer ala Butch Walker, but further research indicates that was a hallucination.

This revive reminded me of my favorite Donnas memory: It was early 2003, and I was coming back to Houston from a weekend trip to Austin. I stopped at the mega Wal Mart in Brenham (the half-rural/half-suburb home of Blue Bell Ice Cream) and for some forgotten reason found myself in the electronics department. This young girl, couldn't have been more than a preteen, was begging her father, this big Toby Kieth-looking dude, to buy her a copy of Spend The Night, which--thanks to Atantic's clout--was on a listening station in the CD aisle. "They're this all-girl band, and they're really cool..." she pleaded. I don't know if she succeeded, but given all the music at that time being marketed to kids her age, all the choices she could've made, to land at the Donnas at this store in this little town was--as she said--just really cool.

xp the drummer got permanent tendonitis and retired, maybe the new drummer just didn't work out

the CD with the 1st album and the early singles remains awesome, great live band too

i guess this thread revival is the reason 3 donnas cds arrived today that i had no idea about.

well, that and a few beers of course.

no regrets, as this is fun stuff.

lol

Back in the early 2000s, my roommate (a woman) really liked the Donnas and, as a big Ramones fan, I got into them as well. Most of her friends were these douchey hipster indie guys in her graduate program and one day we were all out drinking and my friend brought up the band, since they were playing a local gig. The guys really got down on the band, all like "yeah, everybody who goes to Donnas shows are fat old pervs." It basically shamed me out of liking them at the time. Maybe I have enough distance from those losers to check them out again.

i cannot deny it i am old(ish), and a bloke.
but i care not re other peoples opinion, this is exactly the kind of band i wish i could go see.
i have exactly the same 'you perv' accusations thrown at me whenever i tell people how much i love girls aloud/kylie/britney etc ..
life is too short to give a shit.
i enjoy their music.
simple as that.

Oh yeah, that's how I feel now. There's a long list somewhere of bands that other people successfully shamed me out of liking in the past though. Not sure if I remembered to include the Donnas.
