THE DONKEYS
     Living On The Other Side CD / LP (DOC014, released: 09/09/08)
     We would love to be able to say that the Donkeys are simply
     four California beach bums who love to surf, drink cheap beer
     and jam as the sun sets over the Pacific. The long legacy of
     music hailing from California ?from Bakersfield to the Beach
     Boys, Sweetheart of the Rodeo through Slanted and Enchanted ?
     has shaped our sense that everything and everyone "out west"
     is laid back, comfortable and cool.

     And to be fair, when it comes to the Donkeys, some of this
     mystique is true ?two of the band's members are indeed
     surfers, and all four have been known to down a six pack or
     two. But 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. Any expression of existential
     ennui ?"is this all there is?" ?is simultaneously soothed by
     an unrushed guitar lick and a harmonized twang that becomes
     almost, dare we say, meditative.

     Part of this magic comes from the fact that there's no
     artifice to the Donkeys' songs, from the matter-of-fact
     breakup blues of "Boot on the Seat" to the playful
     recollections of a late, drunken night narrated on "Nice
     Train." These are everyday lives in the postmodern world
     expressed with a deep respect for classic songs from the 70s
     through the 90s -- for spacey grooves and soulful, jangly
     swagger -- that elevates the subject matter beyond the
     ordinary. Living on the Other Side, the band's second album,
     is not meant to hit you over the head with a flamboyant single
     ?instead, imagine Ray Davies jamming with the Byrds, or a
     Gene Clark-fronted Buffalo Springfield -- and you'll get a
     sense of the tradition that informs this band.

     Living on the Other Side is about rolling down the windows,
     cranking up the stereo, and hitting the open road. Maybe
     you're running away, and maybe you're not, but either way,
     everything's going to be alright.
