The Donnas will criss-cross North America behind their new album, The Donnas Turn 21, which arrives in stores on January 23rd. The twenty-eight date tour will kick off on January 27th in San Francisco with their album release party. The Donnas Turn 21 features another fourteen songs of three-chord riffage including a cover of Judas Priest 's "Livin' After Midnight."

"Our speed demons have finally turned 21," reads the Donnas' official Web site. "Instead of celebrating this rite of passage with a legal martini or a pint of Papst, the girls concocted a rowdy rock & roll debutante party with all hits and no filler."

Bratmobile will be the opening act throughout the tour with Tuuli, Selby Tigers and Mooney Suzuki also on board for select dates. For ticket information go to www.lkout.com.
