| Rolling Stone has stated that "the Donnas offer a guileless take on adolescent alienation; they traffic in kicks, not catharsis, fun rather than rage".As The Donnas
5.Towards the end of their high school days, while they were still known as "The Electrocutes", they decided to create another band (with the same members) which they would use to play softer tunes without distorting the metal queen image of The Electrocutes.To help their fans distinguish between the two bands, they all took matching "Donna" monikers, where all of their names were Donna, and their last names were the first initial of their last name (Brett Anderson became Donna A) which they used only when performing as "The Donnas".Although they initially planned on dropping The Donnas after a while and sticking with The Electrocutes, they changed their minds after high school and stuck with the Donnas instead, while still keeping their Donna names.Experimenting with different musical styles, they underwent a variety of band names (Screen, Ragady Anne, and The Electrocutes) before settling on The Donnas.They worked with producer Darin Raffaelli for their first two albums, the first of which, simply called The Donnas, was entirely written by Raffaelli and released on his own Superteem!It was later released again on Lookout!As the band grew, they were urged to sign with a major label company.Mainstream popularity
In 2002, The Donnas released Spend the Night.The album was their mainstream break through, spawning the hit single "Take it Off" and appearances on Total Request Live, Saturday Night Live, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and The Late Show with David Letterman.In the summer of 2003, they played the main stage at Lollapalooza.In February 2005, they toured Australia with the Big Day Out music festival, playing from Sydney to Perth.The Donnas' music has repeatedly been featured in video game soundtracks.Don't Want to Know" is in the Gran Turismo 4 soundtrack also and a cover of the song was also used for Donkey Konga 2 for the Nintendo GameCube.The Donnas' music has also made various appearances in film and media.The Donnas can also be heard on Mean Girls during the end credits playing a cover of the Billy Idol song "Dancing With Myself", and they also contributed to the soundtrack of the movie Grind."Donna" pseudonym
Up until the release of 2004's Gold Medal, the band used pseudonyms.In March 2007 the Donnas released their first song from the new album, titled "Don't Wait Up For Me", and a new logo.The Donnas released their 7th studio album titled Bitchin' on September 18, 2007 on their Purple Feather Records label.Bitchin' was produced by Jay Ruston and The Donnas.The Donnas have "parted ways" with Atlantic Records.The Donnas Take The Itch Out Of Bitchin.See Copyrights for details."Are you sure you want to block this user?Minneapolis

38.North America, one of their most memorable shows ended with one of them face down on the hood of a cop car, arms behind her back, handcuffs cutting off the circulation to her clenched fists.Yes, The Donnas are for real and they are here to stay.From Palo Alto to the stages of Letterman and SNL and the pages of Rolling Stone and Billboard, The Donnas have grown to become one of the best female rock groups of all time.Some even make parole in time for the gig and bring special souvenirs from the Big House.So who are The Donnas in 2007?But there is a vast divide between the awkward tweens of the 1990s and The Donnas of the 2000s.The Donnas have entered into a new chapter of maturity and comfort in their career.We know what we want, we know how to get it, and we are ready and willing to take it.That is why most bands break up and The Donnas continue to stick together.We wanted to reach more people with this album and that inspired us to really challenge ourselves in the studio.Writing this record made me realize that I could get something good out of even the worst relationship.It makes sense to us to keep doing what we want to do and cut the crap.WRR during the broadcast when schedules allow!Sorry I cant make the Folsom show, but not without trying...Couldnt you do another gig in Cali on the 7th or 8th???Donnas should come and visit sometime?We thought your party was cool.Oh well, keep on rocking!Hey, just letting you know, you girls KICK ASS!Who can take a nothing dayand suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?Just wanted to say hello...Thanks for the add girls!!Your music is so rockin!!Good luck in the future!!Hope to see u in Stockholm next Tour CHEERS !!This is not a MySpace login page, please do not enter your MySpace login information (email address or password).Id + " Text: " + targetLink.I'm Gonna Make Him Mine (Tonight)

The Donnas perform on MTV.The Donnas were originally formed in May 1993, when all four members (all born in 1979) were still in the eighth grade together in Palo Alto, CA.Calling themselves Ragady Anne at first, they played covers of groups like R.Electrocutes about recording them.Before 1995 was out, they played their first gig as the Donnas, and released their first single under that name on Radio X.Meanwhile, they hadn't yet abandoned their identity as the Electrocutes, and in fact recorded an album called Steal Yer Lunch Money during 1996; however, it wasn't released until three years later, when Sympathy for the Record Industry acquired the rights in the wake of the Donnas' eventual success.Super*teem, using songs ghostwritten by Raffaelli.Following the release of The Donnas, the group took a week off from its senior year of high school to tour Japan.After graduation, they postponed plans for college and accepted an offer to sign with Bay Area indie Lookout, the original home of Green Day.The Donnas quickly became underground punk favorites, and even landed some attention from mainstream media like MTV.The Donnas' third album, Get Skintight, appeared in 1999 and marked the first time the band composed its material with no outside assistance.That year, they also appeared in the teen comedies Jawbreaker and Drive Me Crazy, the latter as the Electrocutes.Nonetheless, the Donnas caught the attention of major label Atlantic, who signed them up in late 2001.Launched with a new wave of publicity, the Donnas' label debut, Spend the Night, arrived in 2002 and became their first album to break into the Top 100 of the pop charts.In the summer of 2003, the Donnas played the main stage on the revived Lollapalooza tour.Create a configuration object and add the keywords to the conf.This item is not eligible for Amazon Prime, but over a million other items are.Instant Ringtones in 30 Seconds.No Credit Card Required.Why not be the first to suggest a search for which it should appear?The easiest way to shoot video reviews.Not The Best Place To Start your "Donnas" Collection...."Machine" in the search box and hit go.The album's sound is very raw.This release, however, does not really reflect those influences very well.The bands progress from this album to "R 'N' R Machine" is tremendous..."Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided to other Amazon.It's high school punk at it's best and the tracks that are recorded the worst(reminds me of The Germs first 45, maybe recorded worse!!Was this review helpful to you?The Donnas show us how the Ramones live on!Was this review helpful to you?See all 27 customer reviews...There are so many reasons to love the Donnas, and this album is one of them.Incredible CD, not a place to start
