Leave a CommentPsych-rockers The Donkeys just finished up a video for the recently released single ‘Dont Know Who We Are,’ off their album ‘Born With Stripes.’ Its a great sunny slow paced rock effort, with a really interesting dreamlike video, featuring piñata sculptures of the band as a gang of greasers.
The band is touring the new album like crazy, check out their schedule!
