Born and raised in the San Fernando Valley on a steady diet of punk and glitter rock, Prima Donna are infamous on the LA scene. Their curriculum includes musical road trips with Eddie and the Hot Rods, Adam Ant, Glen Matlock & the Philistines, the Dictators, and even Green Day, who they supported on two arena tours on two continents. Front man Kevin Preston has also continued participation in Green Day side-project Foxboro Hot Tubs. While touring the US and Europe, Prima Donna was in and out of the studio numerous times. The finished product is 'Nine Lives and Forty Fives', a 11-song variety pack that displays the band's skills in the studio, and compiles some of their rarest and rawest recordings.
