[edit] History

Their sound features 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".[1]

In May/June 2005, the band went on an eight country European concert tour with Texas Terri. In December of 2005, the band played part of original Sex Pistols bassist Glen Matlock and the Philistines American tour.[2]

In the fall of 2007, Prima Donna featured a new track from their upcoming release entitled "Soul Stripper". It can be heard on the band's Myspace.

In a video interview with Eric Blair backstage at the premiere of Punk's Not Dead (film) on May 30 2007, Prima Donna talks about how they were formed, what they're currently doing, and their future. [3]

Prima Donna is scheduled to release their next album in summer 2008 on Acetate Records.[4]

As of May 2008, Kevin Preston is also playing guitar in the Green Day side project Foxboro Hot Tubs.
