The Donnies The Amys on Friday release a new EP, “Wilder Fire,” a collection of pristine pop that broods over the perilous state of our planet. It’s one of many things the L.A. duo — Donnie Stemp and Amy Aileen Wood — accomplished during the pandemic.
From slow-rapping turtles to mushroom-fueled romps to ripping up a donut shop to Macaulay Culkin (!) on a cross, here are the videos that made Buzz Bands LA’s life visually trippy in 2017.
Echo Park duo The Donnies The Amys today unveiled their new EP, “Blue Dream,” five tracks of lush indie-pop from Donnie Stemp and Amy Wood.
The debut album from indie-pop duo The Donnies The Amys – released in early 2012 – was a regrettably overlooked little gem built around the evocative singing and songwriting of Donnie Stemp and the peripatetic rhythms of drummer Amy Wood. The twosome has released the new song “Stay the Same” via VanNessa Manlunas’ video featuring […]
