Vodka Yonic features a rotating cast of female writers from around the world — alternately humorous, sobering, intellectual, erotic, religious or painfully personal. You never know what you’ll find here each week, but we hope this potent mix of stories encourages conversation.

The Donnas are an American all-female rock band from Palo Alto, California.  They consist of Brett Anderson (lead vocals), Allison Robertson (guitar, backing vocals), Maya Ford (bass, backing vocals) and drummer/percussionist Amy Cesari (Cesari replaced Torry Castellano, who left in 2009 due to tendonitis). They draw inspiration from Ramones, The Runaways, AC/DC, Bachman–Turner Overdrive and Kiss.  After gathering a cult following in the punk scene since their 1993 debut, the band achieved major label commercial success in the early 2000s and afterward as their music mixed punk, metal and classic rock sounds.  To date, the band’s last show was in Sioux City, Iowa on June 15, 2012.

See the list here.

Bands that almost made this list include Veruca Salt, Belly, The Breeders and the many acts of Juliana Hatfield.
