Donkey Heart is an indie rock band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The band was known for its DIY ethos and energetic live performances, which often included makeshift costumes, toy instruments, partial to full nudity, and lots of dancing.
History
Donkey Heart began as a project for Sinbad Richardson and Martin Cesar. It included an old Roland CR-5000 drum machine, a guitar, a record player, and Sinbad and Martin rapping. They performed under the name King Donkey Heart at various parties and social gatherings.
Eventually, the project evolved into a full-fledged band with the addition of Martin's friend, Neyza, and Sinbad's cousin, Austin. Sinbad became the guitarist, Neyza the keyboardist, Austin handled the drum machine, and Martin sang. The band renamed themselves Donkey Heart and played their first show together at the now-defunct Le Swimming..
The band performed regularly around Montreal, playing with bands such as The Dears, Bad Flirt, Rance Mulnix, Beaver, the Alex Chow Symphony Orchestra, Telefauna, Rocket v. Robot, Raw Madonna, Stars, The Diskettes, Pony Up!, Dead Bush, and many others.
The band performed as part of 2004 Pop Montreal,[1] where they were listed under the name Kevin Hates Us. Shortly after, the band returned to their original name, which they considered an inside joke.
By May 2005, the band was on indefinite hiatus, having performed their final show at the 2005 edition of Pop Montreal.
Members
Its members were Sinbad Richardson, Neyza Honoré C., Martin Cesar, and Austin Davis-Richardson.
