Donzii announce upcoming vinyl compilation 'For The People' with today's release of "Disco Rosie"

DONZII ANNOUNCE UPCOMING VINYL COMPILATION FOR THE PEOPLE WITH TODAY’S RELEASE OF “DISCO ROSIE” – STREAM SIGN WITH BORN LOSERS RECORDS FOR MARCH 23 VINYL RELEASE – PRE-ORDER “DISCO ROSIE” ARRIVES ALONGSIDE OFFICIAL VIDEO – WATCH  FOLLOWS DECEMBER’S RELEASE OF DEBUT ALBUM FISHBOWL WITH GREY MARKET RECORDS

“Consisting of vocalist Jenna Balfe and musician Dennis Fuller, Donzii is an exciting new post-punk project to get behind if you haven't already.”

“Donzii is more than a band. Donzii is an experience, a convergence of energies and talents that form a rare kind of creative universe: Donzii's universe.”

On the heels of Donzii's debut LP Fishbowl comes the newly announced For The People – a collection of their first two sold out EPs repressed together on one vinyl, sandwiched between never before heard tracks. The first of these new offerings is today’s “Disco Rosie” which arrives alongside an official video. Donzii has signed with Born Losers Records for the March 23 release of their vinyl compilation – Stream “Disco Rosie” / Pre-order For The People. Aptly arriving on Valentine's Day, “Disco Rosie” is four minutes of pure musical excess that could fuel any night of strobing lights, full dance floors and swaying sweaty bodies. The official video starring the band and a collective of friends feels like a psychedelic walk through a previous decade – Watch.  Keeping things short and sweet, the band said, “’Disco Rosie’ is for lovers.”  At the end of 2022, Donzii released their Frankenstein’s monster of a debut album, Fishbowl via Grey Market Records. The 11-track project can be imagined as having a post-punk torso, a no wave arm, industrial fingers, dark ambient legs, funk feet, and everything else you can imagine, all stitched together by a band that doesn’t feel the need to pander to one specific genre. Upon its release, the album was met with praise from Notion, New Noise, Brooklyn Vegan and more. Last year also saw Donzii make their SXSW debut, dominate Miami’s iconic III Points Festival, and join Drab Majesty, Glove and Mr Twin Sister for tour dates across the US. The band’s single “Sand” was also featured in HBO’s Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin.   ABOUT DONZII Named after an Italian speedboat company—corrupted with an extra i—Donzii was started in 2015 by vocalist Jenna Balfe and musician Dennis Fuller. The tumultuous journey leading up to the band’s first full-length release included numerous lineup changes, musical rupturings, and principled denials of industry rot, but the wedded core of the band, Balfe and Fuller, have maintained a pyre that finally alights on the debut album Fishbowl. A time-bending mélange of genres, this definitive statement crystallizes the band’s post-punk vision: a unity of go-hard industrial bangers, darkly ambient balladry, and new takes on the funk traditions of No Wave.  Balfe and Fuller, both from Miami, met on an island in Biscayne Bay, the body of water separating Miami from Miami Beach. Balfe woke up in a tent and saw Fuller arriving in a boat, shirtless and donning a rainbow bandana on his head. “He had these nice vintage guitars and amps with him in the canoe,” Balfe remembers. The two spent hours picking up trash, but Balfe disappeared the next morning. Fuller didn’t see her for six months. An artist whose practice includes dance movement therapy, performance, and DJing, Balfe reappeared, and Fuller—a classically trained percussionist and film scorer—quickly fell in love. “Jenna's musical catalog is like, so much more vast than mine,” Fuller says. “It's one of the reasons I fell in love with her.”  Formed during jam sessions at a dilapidated suburban mansion from the 70s, the Donzii galaxy has included a number of supporting musicians over the years, helping to form their poly blend of electronics, bass guitar, 80s utopian guitar and Balfe’s hauntingly spirited vocals. Drawing from the combustive family dynamics of all great bands—the sometimes sexual tensions, the creative jealousies, the red-hot chemistries—Fishbowl, recorded in studios from San Francisco to Hialeah, brings back nearly all the former members. The result is 11 infectious tracks, forming a Frankenstein’s monster of a record.   Balfe’s poetic lyrics spill from many inner dimensions and intentions: “A lot of my inspiration comes from wanting people to think more deeply about being able to exist in a way that is more joyful,” she says. “Not in Live Laugh Love kinda way, but in a way that encompasses the material grossness of this chaotic life cycle with a little chuckle beneath your breath. Like watching sweet little pink flowers grow atop a pile of decaying bones and compost.”  Inspired by the full range of feelings on planet Earth, from the darkest corners to the sunniest days, Balfe and Fuller are allergic to trends but resolutely of the moment. Donzii is a therapeutic exercise in sincere and honest expression, a confrontation with demons, a celebration of getting lost. In many ways Donzii is not a normal band. But, as Balfe says, there is one rule of all great music that they follow: “We do it so people can dance.”   ### For more information on Donzii, please visit: Instagram / Bandcamp / Facebook / Twitter / YouTube / Spotify
