We thought they were long gone, and all we had were foggy yet fond memories of how the tunes actually went." The Donnas also re-recorded five tracks, remixed one and included two alternative versions of songs from their hugely influential Lookout!

The Donnas: a four-way, equal partnership of women in friendship, art and business. A rare trust exists between these members that most bands could never dream of achieving in a similar group dynamic.
