It’s only fitting that, while visiting Donna‘s hometown of NYC, I post the video of her electric performance in Anti-Karaoke from May 2008. Donna (formerly of Cycle Sluts from Hell, now of She Wolves) was visiting Barcelona, along with Sean Yseult (White Zombie, Rock City Morgue) and Chris Lee of Supagroup. That Monday, all of them came to AK.
The show was still in Sidecar then, and the stagnant air stunk of sweat and smoke. Donna’s furiously gritty and sleazy interpretation of the Johnny Thunders’ classic was the high point of that night. It was certainly authentic, since she knew ‘em all in the New York punk scene: the New York Dolls, The Ramones, The Dictators, Jayne County… It was a real treat to have her in the show.
Here’s a snippet of video of her current group, She Wolves, from a show we saw on Tuesday. Great voice. Great attitude.
Donna Rulez!
