A five-man high-energy machine, Prima Donna have only been on the scene for five years, yet in that time have knocked out over 450 shows. In 2009, the band supported Green Day for two months of sold-out arena concerts in the U.K. and Europe. Green Day invited Prima Donna in 2010 to join them again for two weeks and five countries in Asia. Their live show is a whirlwind of color, energy, bravado, volume and an avalanche of catchy, sing-along choruses. Inspired by early punk groups such as X-Ray Spex, Ramones, and Sex Pistols as well as '70s glitter such as Mott the Hoople, T. Rex and David Bowie, the group's sharp 'n' concise songwriting sidesteps any notions of the group being "retro." "Feral Children," backed by a rousing re-think of Blondie's "Rip Her to Shreds," is Prima Donna's latest single. Released on the band's own Death Records, the 7-inch vinyl release was teaser for fans waiting for a new Prima Donna album. That wait is coming to an end, as their latest LP, "Bless This Mess", will be released on Acetate Records, America's pre-eminent independent rock 'n' roll label. The new album was recorded in Oakland, CA, at Jingletown Recording, Green Day's studio, with GD's head-engineer Chris Dugan producing. Prima Donna has shared the stage with such notable acts as Turbonegro, D Generation, Girl in a Coma, the Sonics, Bellrays, Steel Panther, Backyard Babies, Glen Matlock, the Fuzztones, the Muffs, the Briefs, and literally countless other influential bands.
