San Diego band The Donkeys have moved shop from Antenna Farm to Dead Oceans for the release of their second LP, Living on the Other Side. The record comes out September 9 and has been described as “a fun-loving, rollicking collection of catchy California-fried pop songs.” My co-worker says it sounds like The Dead.
Comprised of four beach-bum-surfer dudes, The Donkeys released their 2006 self-titled debut on Antenna Farm Records. And despite the great roster of bands they are now joining at Dead Oceans -- Dirty Projectors, Evangelicals, Phosphorescent, and, just recently, These Are Powers -- keyboardist Anthony Lukens is “excited about having a reason to travel to Texas and drink Loan Star beer.” Sweet, brah.
