Prima Donna (American band)

Prima Donna is a rock n roll band (music) formed in 2003 featuring singer/guitarist Kevin Preston (currently touring with Foxboro Hot Tubs, and formerly of the Skulls (U.S. Band)), Saxophonist/Keyboardist Aaron Minton, drummer David S. Field, bassist Dan Nyby, and guitarist Erik Arcane.

History

Their sound features saxophone, piano and organ, along with a guitar sound which has been described as "the best damn glampunkrock'n'roll ... Prima Donna goes for that timeless Dolls/Heartbreakers/Mott The Hoople sound and they pull it off perfectly". [http://www.lowcut.dk/026_lc/reviews/index.asp]

In May/June 2005, the band went on an eight country European concert tour with Texas Terri. In December 2005, the band played part of original Sex Pistols bassist Glen Matlock and the Philistines American tour. [http://www.cookandjones.co.uk/jukebox_transcription_glenmatlock05.htm]

In the fall of 2007, Prima Donna featured a new track from their upcoming release entitled "Soul Stripper". It can be heard on the band's Myspace.

In a video interview with Eric Blair backstage at the premiere of Punk's Not Dead (film) on May 30 2007, Prima Donna talks about how they were formed, what they're currently doing, and their future. [http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=10331094]
