There hasn’t been a band with such style, glamour and attitude, not to mention feminine flare, until now. Without further ado, presenting, The Donnas.

The Donnas first got together back in the day when they were little yearlings in eighth grade. They went by the name Ragady Anne back then, and all they cared about was proving to the boys that girl bands could rock as hard as they could.

But that was seven years ago, a lot has changed since then. They are still out to prove a point, but they do it with a lot more flare now.

The Donnas comprise a lot of musical talent and history into the band with influences like the Ramones and rock legend Kiss. They started their road to fame through their friend, Darrin Raffelli, and his record label Super*Teem. With his help in writing lyrics, The Donnas gained popularity swiftly and it wasn’t too long before they released their first single, “High School Yum Yum,” in 1995.

It only took three years for The Donnas to outgrow their record label and move on to bigger things. Look Out! Records signed The Donnas with only half an idea of what they were getting themselves into.

“We didn’t know and they didn’t know that their 1998 record for Look Out!, “American Teenage Rock and Roll Machine,” would send them into the media mainstream . . .,” as quoted from The Donnas? homepage at LookOut!Records.com.

Since then, The Donnas have produced “Get Skintight” and “The Donnas Turn 21” as well as various singles on Look Out! Records.

They are currently on their European tour with no outlook on when they are going to be playing shows in the States. But if you want to know more info on The Donnas or want to pick up some merchandise, you can check out their Web sites at: www.lookout.com and www.thedonnas.com.

The Hornet Female Band Series will continue with “Kittie” and Sacramento?s very own, “The Skirts.”
