“EX-SHAKIN' STEVENS PRODUCER LAUNCHES POP CAREER AT 65!

Defying longer odds than those offered on Michael Howard winning the election, former record producer Donny Marchand is launching a bit for pop stardom... at 65.

The one-time Shakin' Stevens collaborator and Brooklyn, NY native has experienced a spectacular career in the music industry across five decades and three continents, including writing some songs for Roger Daltry, James Last and Wilson Pickett, and producing records by Gene Vincent and The Wild Angels. Now he's decided to go it alone with politicised debut single The Ice is Melting. More bizarrely - it's ace! And we believe it deserves to be heard!

As Playmusic was going to press, we only had a copy of the single, but with an album due out next month expect to hear a lot more about Donny in these pages. In the meantime, you can show support by contacting him directly via e-mail. And no, it doesn't sound anything like Shakin' Stevens.”

Songwriter/Producer Donny Marchand releases his politically incorrect album (Dinosaurs Don't Eat People).

This debut is full of, off-the-wall songs that take shots at all the absurdity in the world today,incuding the culprits who orchestrate it for their own gain,while masquerading under the guise of principles. In other words; the conduct of public affairs for private advantage.

Check out some of the weird sounds in the tracks as well.


Parousia Recrds will be releasing a new single, "Kissin' the devils Ass" by Donny, early in the new year.
