Prima Donna

About Me

Prima Donna is a female fronted pop-rock band from the Philadelphia area. It features twin sisters Tina and Gina on rhythm/lead guitars and backing vocals, Michy on lead vocals, Steve - bass guitar and Erich on drums. Filling a void in today's music, Prima Donna is a band of substance. The music offers something old and something new. Old as in old school, the song comes first; everything is built around the song. New as in, it has a modern, edgy rock sound combined with hook oriented pop that is different enough to be called alternative. But this band doesn't wear their influences on their sleeves. And these days, that's a good thing, a stand out from the rest. The band boldly made their entry onto the indie music scene in 2003 with their first full length CD, "Not Having Fun." The CD has received rave reviews and has been played by over 200 college radio stations across the country charting in the top 10 on many including WIIT, (Chicago, IL), and KAOS, (Olympia, WA). It's also receiving internet radio airplay and commercial radio airplay on WSTW in Delaware. Prima Donna continues to develop a reputation as an outstanding live act. The band has captivated audiences playing notable venues including, the World Cafe Live, the North Star Bar, the Grape St. Pub and the Pontiac Grille in Philadelphia and Kenny's Castaways and the legendary C.B.G.B.'s in New York. The band has recently performed at the International Pop Overthrow Festivals in Philadelphia and New York.
