what the
press is saying

Jake H. met Casey a few hours after she was born. He was disappointed she was a girl and cried. Eighteen years later, he got over it, and they started a band. A few years after that, they suckered another kid named Jake into playing bass. After shooting down Caseys idea to name the band Casey and the Jakes, they became Donora.

Jake H. plays the drums, triggers samples from his octapad, and sings backup. Casey sings and tries very hard to remember the right guitar chords to play. Jake C. plays bass and reminds Casey which key each song starts in. Together they play melodic, dance-worthy, garage rock.

Donora likes making new friends, and they have shared the stage with bands like The Ting Tings, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!, Tokyo Police Club, Elf Power, Cracker, Walter Meego, and Dressy Bessy.

Every once and a while, things happen that make other people assume Donora is a big deal. The band members of Donora do little to set the record straight. Like one time, their song "Shhh" was featured in a PostSecret Valentine's Day video that reached over 1 million hits on youtube and myspace in the week it debuted. MTV has used their music in shows like Cribs, Underaged and Engaged, and True Life. This other time, one of their songs was used in the Starz feature film Lower Learning.

Sometimes people even write nice things about them like, "I really think I'm in love with Donora" (Buzzgrinder Blog) or "How is this song not all over the radio and TV?" (ComfortComes Blog). Their song "I Think I Like You" was featured on My Old Kentucky Blog's Sirus XMU radio show, and they were even named "Young Pittsburghers to Watch in 2009" by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

That kind of stuff makes Donora blush though, so you won't find them talking about it much.

I've played the Superbowl in 2008 for in-stadium crowd of 74,000+. I'm shifting gears to get my name, face & music out there. as a vocal recording artist, songwriter, & producer. I've got my own manager, but I am seeking a professional, positive label. Any support you can give me would be much appreciated! Drop by & take a listen to a few songs, leave me a comment. Sign my guestbook, or give my fan line a call: 602.714.7625. Demand me in your city, and tell someone about me!
