About Me


MyGen Profile Generator
DonkeyBox is a 4-piece rock/heavy rock band with an alternative edge. Based in London, England their sound ranges from heavy atmospheric heart thumpers to melancholic singalong anthems. Their main influences being GnR, The Chilis, Goo Goo Dolls etc.
Experienced live performers they have gigged at places from HMV Oxford Street, London to The Gardening Club, London. DonkeyBox are picking up a growing fanbase in the UK and astonishingly in the US without even having set foot there yet.
Formed in 2002, they first started out at Imperial College London and instantly appealed to a mass student population. Their songs, stage presence and spirit at gigs leaves a memorable mark on their audience. Their EP "Backstage Pass" was released in 2007 and they released their first promo video for "Crap Day" in December 2007.
