The Donnas and me on PCTV.

I know I'm a broken record, but once a month I am interviewed on Park City Television's "Mountain Views" with Ori Hoffer.

I usually bring in a Utah band to play on the news and entertainment program, but on April Fool’s day this year, Ori scheduled chick punk-rockers The Donnas. After working for 15 years (they started as a band in the 7th grade, and got their big break during a talent show!!) they seemed like one of the most humble rockers I have ever met. And, by gosh they have the best hair ever! I should have asked them who their stylist was.

During my interview, I talked about 3 bands you should look into if you haven’t already:

DulceSky
This SLC band, originally from Chile, sounds like an Hispanic Bauhaus/The Cure/Depeche Mode effort. Some songs are in Spanish, and some in English. It’s an absolute treat to hear rockers such as DulceSky. They will perform live on X96 Live and Local April 20, and their new CD release party is on April 26 at Studio 600. Pick up a copy of X96 Live and Local Volume 4 at one of the X96 remotes and hear one of their songs. http://www.myspace.com/dulcesky

Allred
This is a project spawned by John Allred. Like Ben Folds, he had a band, and now his act is solo. In the vein of Dashboard Confessional and Radiohead, and speaking of Ben Folds, John will open up for the Ben Folds and Ben Lee at Saltair this Spring. http://www.myspace.com/allred

The Elizabethan Report
Holy good lord, this is amazing music! The band resides in Provo. Think Modest Mouse but harder with a chick. Professional, catchy as hell, and music you’ll want to hear over and over. http://www.myspace.com/elizabethanreport

Thanks again to PCTV for having me talk about the scene, and having me brush scarves with The Donnas!
