Copyright 2014 The Donnies The Amys. All Rights Reserved.
The Donnies The Amys are a lo-fi pop band from Echo Park, CA
The band formed in 2011, when singer/keyboardist Donnie Stemp and drummer/ producer Amy Wood crossed paths while working together on Donnie's previous project, The Outdoors. Amy suggested the two of them should record some songs in her Echo Park studio and they quickly realized that they had something special.
Amy has been a drumming fixture in Los Angeles since she was 14, and has played with many local and national acts including Fiona Apple, Big Black Delta and Conway. Donnie has been growing lettuce.
The pair recorded their self-titled debut over the summer of 2011 in the midst of a Frisbee golf obsession and released the album in January of 2012. The Donnies The Amys was very well-received. So well, in fact, that the album led to a slew of dates opening for Sea Wolf and TV placements on shows like Grey's Anatomy, Suits, Reign, 16 and Pregnant and many others. They have also been featured on KCRW, Revolt TV and college radio stations across the country.
The band rang in 2014 with the release of their Stay the Same EP. They plan to release a second EP later in the year.

"The Donnies The Amys - the glorious confluence of singer-songwriter Donnie Stemp's emotive paeans and drummer Amy Wood's artful rhythms have decided to capitalize after all... The pair have already capitalized on their collaboration; their debut album (which you should have by now) is a collection of agile indie-pop that leaves you hankering for Stemp's next couplet." - Buzz Bands LA

Sorry, we've been underground. The good news is, we've been working on a European record deal and will have music and tours to announce on the continent in the coming months! America, hang in there.

Thanks for all the love, SUITS (on USA). Our song 'Drive You Home' was the closing song on last nights episode and we are getting a nice response from fans of the show. In other news, our new EP is shaping up, with one song heading to mixing right now! Stay tuned.
Our new website is live. You can see that. What you can't see is all the hours we are spending in the studio working on our next EP. Which we are, trust me. No more long frisbee games and lunches at Gigi's Peruvian Bakery.

Once again, we've got a song on Grey's Anatomy tonight! It's an 80's cover of a song called "Tenderness" (you'll know it when you heart it). It will also be up on iTunes today.
