[@NiagaraDryGingerAle]

The guitar player is great.

[@perezfecto]

Can't believe this happened 20 years ago. Man time flies and I ain't got wings

[@herr_luke87]

Rock N Roll doesn't need a bunch on people on stage. Just the correct people on stage. Powerful sound, sick drumming, great frontwoman.

[@andersbjrnsen7203]

that drummer....pure animal!

[@mickmarsbar81]

She was freakin great, wasn’t she?!

[@starrdogchamp1]

thats why she quit. shoulder injury due to bad technic

[@andersbjrnsen7203]

@@starrdogchamp1 yes, think I read that somewhere too, and she wasnt able to change her technique into something more shoulder friendly.

[@John-tr5hn]

She's a human-rights lawyer now. The lead singer is a social worker who works with old people.

[@ctfair]

Rock n’roll needs Allison Robertson. Please come home where you belong. 🙂

[@steves7896]

Where are all these girls anyways?

[@beaumontlivingston5430]

Torry was an awesome drummer. seemingly endless energy and a fun to watch.

[@realdocloco]

I totally agree, but there was a price to pay for her terrible technique - non-stop injuries. So I love to see her play, but cringe whenever she does.

[@142horizon]

@@realdocloco : Whats wrong with her technique?

[@VanGugenhiemer]

@142horizon drumming balls out like that over time is hard on the joints. The Shockwave travels up the sticks and through the arms.

[@142horizon]

@@VanGugenhiemer : Oh...Ok. I see what you mean. Her energy IS fun to watch, but is unfortunately, overexertion. Thank you for explaining🙏.

[@ashchaya7676]

@@142horizon She was a self-taught drummer. Great heart and yes, I fucking LOVE watching her go nuts doing her thing, but not holding the sticks just right led to her getting tendonitis which is what ended her career.

[@MarathonManPeatMoss]

Hard to believe this was almost 20 years ago, damn. Allison is such a talented guitarist; I wish they were all still making music together.

[@dalestrom1]

The way I feel about it is "if you can't enjoy this, wtf can you enjoy?" Beautiful girls from Cali who blast out old school 70s-80s rock and metal? I love them.

[@johnnyrotten5507]

+Dale Strom totally agree........much better to see chicks playing REAL music as opposed to monotonous computer generated dance crap.

[@jonesey251]

hotter than a stolen pistol

[@SweetMercy]

I had and still have a crush on Brett Anderson. Wow 💖

[@smmtigersports]

The most underrated band ever

[@mloftin6472]

No lie.

[@markskanyt]

A powerhouse band, unrelated to gender.

[@David77646]

@@markskanyt Thats right gender has nothing to do with it

[@AA-rc8sm]

Yeah though they were big enough to be called famous but weren't big enough for what they should have achieved.

[@jondubb35]

Yeah, not even close. But they’re a solid band.

[@rockzilla-666-]

Love their albums. It gives you always a good time to blast them to your car speakers. The energy from donna c on the drums is unbelievable. She should get married to animal from the muppet show

[@markwaite7597]

Got hooked with spend the night album....Fantastic band...regret not seeing them live 😐

[@bruceveary1758]

Much more significant band than they were ever credited for! Love The Donnas!

[@mikesanchez7386]

Torry Castellano is like straight out of my dreams, bro

[@gjackson6569]

Miss these ladies! Awesome skills by all of them. Some of the best rock riffs and kick ass tunes. Confidence, talent, energy and great songs. Couldn't ask for more.

[@harveycasey1900]

From the Eletrocutes stilling my lunch money to The Donna's stilling heart. I miss them & I hope they get back together and start kicking ass & bring rock and roll back to the masses 🤘🏿

[@MyDriver8]

Allison always delivers some great little solos. Whole band is great though.

[@nonetaken7873]

Torry Castellano is in Cambridge now, probably sitting in some chestnut paneled lecture theater listening to an old fogy talk about contract law. "Has it been 13 years? It seems like just yesterday I was on stage in Germany jamming with my girlfriends to 75,000 fans".

[@fabriziodalonzo9880]

3 losers with no taste

[@gaelbgalbar9307]

They just like Julio Iglesias lol.

[@johnny-r]

Every single thing about The Donnas was fucking awesome - but Tori on drums was on a totally different level. So sad she had arm trouble and had to retire. But she left her mark.

[@puppycat65481]

the drummer may be a beast, but she sure don't look like one!!!!!!!!!!! Love the Donnas!

[@mloftin6472]

Torry always gave the crowd their money's worth.

[@chrisbarnette7137]

Kick ass, rip roaring , Rock and Roll....

[@lesflynn4455]

They were a great party band. Playing early in the day at these huge festivals would suck a bit. Which is what the Donna's were doing here in '03. If they had any set after the sun went down it would have gone off.

[@seanmursell3206]

Stilllove the donnas, they were a tight band with great musicians. Reminded me of a modern day girlschool. Shame they didn’t last.

[@karlhess5174]

The Donnas bring IT.... sad to see everyone just standing there. I was locked in a Freightliner in the early 2K's..... sorry I missed it.........Take it off....the best girls!!!

[@pinkpanther4641]

Idiot crowd probably wanting crap rap. Europe has no taste in music. I know. They want sweaty rappers. Disgusting.

[@slowandcurious9455]

God damn that drummers a beast

[@bfeur66]

man, I wish I had gotten a chance to see them before they broke up. those chicks can rock

[@_annski_]

the best band ever!!! I LOVE THEM SOOO MUCH !!!! I'm a fan for over 10 years

[@marialeduque8827]

I'm diggin the drummer, she so hype.

Allison and that tone!!

I wish some day i can find a woman like these four. They're just perfect.

[@Scottocaster6668]

Allison's guitar tone, dam. Good stuff 👍.

[@elloco6544]

Und das Publikum steht!!! Wie angewurzelt!!! High energy power on stage. But nothing more than silence in front of these great rockin' girls. Just a few using these sounds, to make it their day...

[@xxxsmutofficialchannel2742]

i Love Tori.

[@Pulse87dotca]

Maya's my favourite, but they are all terrific!

[@kurthopkins7393]

I never really knew much about the Donna's, but they are freaking awesome!!!!!!

[@AndrewLemmings]

One of the last true rock groups to come to the mainstream. Really sad.

[@steveclem]

Spend The Night is a great album. They should of kicked on from there!!

[@timhansen4556]

Agree- really great collection of high-energy guitar-rock anthems..and that drummer!! wow...

[@davidjones5165]

Proper rock - and lookers, as good as it gets really. Wish I'd seen them live (and that I were 40 years younger when I did!). Top show.

[@ziptree]

Finally!! Glad that some of these folks understood that the only proper response to seeing a set this awesome is to RIOT!!

[@seanfeeley5985]

Take it off! Best chick tune ever

[@jeffreylarson8533]

Oh- That guitar tone! and Torry? C'mon, Girl, Rock!

They destroyed at this festival! I miss this band. En fuego!

[@steves7896]

Straight forward, no frills, HARD driven Rock n Roll, is that so hard?? Many decades later and I still can't get enough!! I don't know what mass entertainment is doing these days, but it certainly ain't this, and that just don't cut it with me. Sure wish you girls would reunite and play again!! I think Torry's about to throw a rod, giving Animal a run for his money, BADASS!!!

[@Evie170]

Love this band so much. I wish Torry was taught the correct drumming technique to avoid injuries. Then, maybe they'd still be a chance of a reunion, tour and new record.

[@robertclark6349]

She did get some lessons but the damage was done.

[@AA-rc8sm]

Yeah injuries can be overwhelming... or maybe they rocked hard enough to fuck her wrists up. All messed up on the drums. But they left sick music anyway!

[@markymarknj]

@@robertclark6349 even so, I think that they helped her play on longer.

[@PureEffinMagic]

This set was ❤‍🔥 and deserved a better crowd

[@steves7896]

Agreed! I just watched U2 at Red Rocks, 1983 before this. THAT crowd was totally and completely onboard. A 1983 U2 crowd vs a 2003 Donnas crowd (Europeans at that!), it doesn't add up.

[@jamienorris9200]

Dan Clary -- Check out a band called Cherry Bomb - They were an all teenage female rock group as well. They've disbanded and rebranded with a new replacement member and are now called "Hey Violet" . They lean more towards pop punk these days, but their drummer is a total bad ass. Just as Torry was.

[@rbilleaud]

Was sorry to see them go. Perfect example of why it's hard to make a go.of it in the music biz, particularly if you don't have major label support. They were with Atlantic for a while, but according to them, Atlantic wasn't giving them the support they needed. I guess there were some changes at the label, and that's frequently bad news for some marginal artists.

[@valerierawlins832]

LOVE THEM!!!

[@kennypayton5103]

Love this band ❤

[@williamcoombs1752]

I truly wish that the Donnas hadn't broke up 10 plus years ago because those girls knew what punk rock was about and they had a good stage presence they were a Crowd Pleaser to the Core and The Donnas were ALWAYS Pretty To Look at as well Crazy Punk Rocking Bitches a good band that got away The Donnas 4 ever!

I wanna marry The Donnas , all four of 'em !

[@TheoneGodfather]

Me too

[@IainFrame]

Yeah I really rate the Donnas. Just great rock and roll basically. Really solid for a 4 piece. Although I love Ali Robertson's guitar tone, I just love watching Torry Castellano smashing the utter crap out of her drums like she's Animal from the Muppets. Or Keith Moon, albeit admittedly not quite as level of genius. Note: I'm supremely aware of the irony that it was her very "primitive", self-taught style that caused her career-finishing shoulder injury. A real shame but phenomenal while it lasted.

[@robertawade2386]

That's exactly what I thought she reminds me of Animal from The Muppets she almost needs a cage yet so much energy

[@jrpikasso13]
