The Donkeys: 
Scissor Me Cigs

“High school friends Timothy DeNardo, Anthony Lukens, and Sam Sprague first played together as teenagers, and Jessie Gulati joined the latter two musicians in a band named the Moon and Sixpence soon after graduation. The musicians eventually banded together as the Donkeys, combining a melodic foundation with elements of classic rock, country, and power pop.”

The Donkeys: 
West Coast Raga

Taking their cues from bands like Pavement, the Grateful Dead, and Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young; The Donkeys craft melodic country-rock songs inspired by their state’s warm weather and relaxed pace.

The Donkeys: 
Black Wave

 

“Like California, the real-life Donkeys (best friends from Southern California, Timothy DeNardo, Jessie Gulati, Anthony Lukens and Sam Sprague) are much more… real. If their backstory contains those top-down cars and suntanned utopian surf tableaus, it also contains the malaise and the escape fantasies familiar to all suburban kids of the 80s and 90s. Miraculously, the music manages to comfortably communicate both moods at once.”
