The Donkeys are an indie rock band with a penchant for blending psychedelic sounds with the warm embrace of power pop, hailing from the picturesque coastal town of Santa Barbara, California. Formed in the early 2000s by singer-guitarist Rex Jackson and multi-instrumentalist Tommy Markland, the band's lineup has evolved over the years but has consistently delivered a rich tapestry of sound that pays homage to their '60s and '70s influences while carving out their own unique niche in the contemporary music scene. Their sound is characterized by lush guitar work, harmonious vocals, and thoughtful songwriting that resonates with listeners far beyond their coastal roots. With a discography that includes critically acclaimed albums like "Sunland" and "Rid Yourself of Time," The Donkeys have garnered a dedicated following for their captivating live performances and the band's ability to craft melodies that linger long after the music has stopped. Their music is a journey through introspective lyrics, buoyant hooks, and instrumental passages that are as much a nod to the great songwriters of the past as they are a testament to The Donkeys' inventive spirit. Over the years, they have toured with artists such as Of Monsters and Men, Ty Segall, and The Black Lips, further cementing their reputation as a live band not to be missed. Their latest projects continue to explore new sonic territories while staying true to the heartfelt, guitar-driven essence that has defined their sound from the start.
