After a long, terrible Winter in NYC, I can’t help but think about the West Coast. San Diego’s The Donkeys drop their latest single for “Don’t Know Who We Are” from their new album Born With Stripes. Not many bands can say that they’ve been recreated in piñata form.

So, if you’re looking for something rad to check out, the video, tunes and tourdates “after the jump”
