Prima Donna is an American rock and roll band from Los Angeles, featuring singer/guitarist Kevin Preston (formerly of The Skulls), saxophonist/keyboardist Aaron Minton, drummer David S. Field, and bassist "Lights Out" Levine. Although formed in 2003, the band did not release its first album until 2008. ==History== Their sound features a unique blend of 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". In May/June 2005, the band went on their first international tour to Europe with Texas Terri with the quickly produced album ''Kiss Kiss'', only sold at live shows, which was party remade into ''After Hours'' in 2008. In December 2005, the band played part of original Sex Pistols bassist Glen Matlock and the Philistines American tour. In a video interview with Eric Blair backstage at the premiere of ''Punk's Not Dead'' on May 30, 2007, Prima Donna talks about how they were formed, what they are currently doing, and their future. As of May 2008, Kevin Preston is also playing guitar in the Green Day side project Foxboro Hot Tubs. Rodney Bingenheimer put the Prima Donna song "Demoted" into his KROQ-FM radio show rotation on July 27, 2008. Prima Donna released their true debut album, ''After Hours'', on September 2, 2008 on Acetate Records. In the spring of 2009, Prima Donna toured the U.S. with Eddie and the Hot Rods and later with Duane Peters Gunfight. In 2009, they supported Green Day throughout its European leg of the 21st Century Breakdown World Tour. In 2010, they returned to support Green Day, throughout Asia in Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong, Seoul, Osaka, Tokyo, and Nagoya. In 2011, the band started recording the follow-up album to ''After Hours'' with producer Chris Dugan at Jingletown Recording Studios in Oakland, California. In late 2013, the band toured the U.S. and Canada supporting Adam Ant. Steven Van Zandt has featured three Prima Donna songs as the 'Coolest Song in the World This Week' on his Sirius radio channel, the Underground Garage. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prima Donna (American band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
