About Me |
|
| After playing in numerous bands for many years, I have finally discovered that only machines can tolerate my temperament. Therefore I named my electronic music project "Primadonahue". The great thing about bands is that, with the right chemistry, a group of individuals can become greater than the sum of its parts by compensating for each other's limitations. This project has been an undertaking devoted to overcoming my own limitations as a performer through self reliance. My current musical pursuits are "Primadonahue" (one person band), "Repulsar" (one person, one reptilian alien band) and a new remix undertaking called "Grateful for the Dead" which involves the creation of sound collages that are comprised exclusively of sampled material from dead musicians. (See my friends list.) I perform in concert settings and also as incidental music for theater, parties, soundtracks, etc. Past Projects include: "Crashdummies", "Sesamoid", "Jerungdu Theater" and more. (I've been around since the 80's... the "hay day" of Minnesota music. I probably played at the Entry before you were born.) I'm also an official celebrity endorser of Donahue Guitar Arts hand made custom art/concept guitars. www.donahueguitar.com. Added to all of this, I am a professional Graphic Designer.

Music:Member Since: 11/7/2006Band Website: primadonahue.com Band Members: Michael Donahue: Guitar, Vocals, Strap-on Drum Triggers, Loops, MIDI Sequences, Samples, Electric Kazoo, Theremin, Producer. I also often perform in "Repulsar" with my art accomplice Newt Skink. Newt employs Tibetan multi-phonic throat singing techniques and has the unique talent of singing up to five vocal tones simultaneously... each one completely off-pitch with the music. To gain a greater appreciation for Repulsar, follow the link to my web site or see the Repulsar profile on my friends list. Influences: The microchip that the aliens implanted behind my ear. Sounds Like: "...a new updated twist to the art of the 'one person band'. Unique and creative barely scratches the surface of a performance that includes home made 'art guitars' and an electric kazoo." –Jon Senum; Minneapolis Star Tribune 6/24/07 Record Label: Stucco Type of Label: Indie |
