"Maniuplator"
Mack Winston and the Reflections

There's something of a laid-back retro vibe to this keyboard driven tune from Mack Winston and the Reflections. Reminiscent of Roxy Music and T Rex, the band has made a name for themselves out in the Los Angeles area. They've played with The Donnas for the band's 15th Anniversary show this past May and will join the band again for Desert Moon 2 later this month.

"In the End"
Youthquake

It’s like a boombox recording, something that you might have expected to find on an old-school MTV Party to Go cassette. Youthquake is the project of Donnas' guitarist Allison Robertson's younger sister Emily Robertson and drummer Timothy Jimenez. "In the End" is catchy and somewhat unexpected. You can listen to this track as well as a track from Allison and Emily as their duo Elle Rae on Myspace at www.myspace.com/ellenandrae

"Rock This City"
American Bang

American Bang got a lesson in rock and roll from the ladies of The Donnas last year when they went out on the road as part of the Feather Nation Tour. "Rock This City" is a preview of the band's forthcoming LP from Warner Bros and is pure Bang. It's upbeat, featuring the bands signature riffs and of course lead singer Jaren Johnston's mile-a-minute lyrics. Check it out and some of the other tunes from our favorite Southern rockers at their Myspace page at www.myspace.com/americanbang

"New Kid in School"
The Donnas

Rock Band 2 is now available for those who happen to own an Xbox360. Those lucky gamers are now rocking out to what Donnaholics have been listening to since The Donnas released "Bitchin'" in 2007. "New Kid in School" is a bonus track and now a game tune. It's vintage Donnas, not straying far from their tried and true formula. The only notable difference this song has from very early Donnas offerings? The band has improved 10 times over. Check it out at Myspace at www.myspace.com/thedonnas

"Fly Feather Fly"
Donita Sparks and the Stellar Moments

Another Feather Nation Tour Alum, Donita Sparks and the Stellar Moments tour up the U.S. with The Donnas ending each set with a tune called "Fly Feather Fly." The song is featured on their newest album "Transmiticate" and it's really one of the highlights on their. Mix equal parts dance music with rock and roll and you'll get Donita Sparks and the Stellar Moments. Catch "Fly Feather Fly" at the band's Myspace page www.myspace.com/donitasparks
