CONCERT: Donna Blue (NL)

Den holländska duon Donna Blue kommer till Sverige för första gången för en spelning på Plan B i Malmö den 2 maj!

Donna Blue har med sitt noir-romantiska sound byggt upp ett följe runt om i Europa och sedan det hyllade debutalbumet Dark Roses släpptes 2022 har bandet turnerat runtom i Europa och USA. Med inspiration från bla Nancy & Lee och Serge Gainsbourg likväl som Ennio Morricone och Piero Piccioni och ett sound som transporterar lyssnaren till Côte d’Azur och 60-talets spionfilmer, skapar bandet en drömsk värld långt bortom vardagens tristess.

Donna Blue är aktuella med sitt andra album Into the Realm of Love som släpps i mars och i maj gästar de Sverige och Malmö för första gången.

“Donna Blue channel eerie Twin Peaks vibes” - CLASH

“Under the influence of john Barry, this Dutch duo plays Nancy Sinatra and Lee

Hazlewood in a dark, hazier, and cinematic atmosphere.” - Rolling Stone (FR)

Donna Blue makes you want to surrender to their noir-romantic sound. Twangy guitars and sensual vocals transport you to a hazy Côte d’Azur, or an old spy movie of the ‘60s.

Moving from a dream state to lush sensory excitement, the duo behind Donna Blue invites you into a grainy, cinematic realm. For those who accept the invitation, the reward is tantalising: the twang of jangly guitars, sensual vocals, coolness and velvet curtains concealing a mysterious parallel universe. Once you’re in, you’ll want to surrender to their noir-romantic sound.

Their music reminds one of the likes of Nancy & Lee, Serge Gainsbourg and Julee Cruise - whilst also drawing inspiration from film composers such as Ennio Morricone, Piero Piccioni and John Barry. It leads the way into bygone, or perhaps, for the poet and dreamer, future days - offering an escape from the mundane as it transports you to a hazy Côte d’Azur, or an old 60’s spy movie.

Originally hailing from The Netherlands, the group has an international outlook, touring with their band throughout Europe (gaining support from platforms such as TV channel ARTE and Clash Music, who called their songwriting ‘irresistible’), and venturing out overseas for performances in the United States. After three critically acclaimed EP’s, their debut album ‘Dark Roses’ was released in 2022.
