Donzii

Named after an Italian speedboat company- corrupted with an extra i- Miami’s Donzii was started by vocalist Jenn Balfe and musician Dennis Fuller.  Their post-punk vision is a unity of go- hard industrial bangers, darkly ambient balladry, and new takes on the funk traditions of No Wave.

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.”
