After Hours on CD

Young and hungry, Prima Donna is a five-man high-energy machine, and despite being on the scene for only three years, they have knocked out over 200 shows, nearly a third of which were overseas. Their live show is a whirlwind of color, energy, bravado, volume, and an avalanche of catchy, sing-along choruses. Clearly inspired by the early punk of groups such as X-Ray Specs, the Damned, and the Sex Pistols as well as '70s glitter such as Mott the Hoople and David Bowie, the group's sharp 'n' concise songwriting sidesteps any notions of the group being 'retro.' How retro can a group be if their average age is 22? Lead singer Kevin Preston also plays in the Green Day side project "Foxboro Hot Tubs"
