¡viva la graham!

I first wrote about Donkeyboy last July when I featured “Ambitions,” which despite an infectious chorus was a bit too somber for the club. Thankfully the Cosmic Dawn remix takes care of that for this week’s toe-tapping Saturday Spin. Download and dance!

In other Donkeyboy news, apparently the group’s record label is going to launch the quirky kids in the U.K. As quick to spoil a party as to start one, Popjustice likened the group to Alphabeat (“They’re basically the same group as Alphabeat”) when in fact the similarities are few. Let’s have a look:

• Alphabeat hail from Denmark while Donkeyboy call Norway home. They are on the same continent but they are not the same country.
• There are 6 members of Alphabeat — one female — while Donkeyboy numbers five males, technically, with Linnea Dale occasionally providing vocals. These two ladies bear little resemblance to each other in appearance or vocal ability.

And there you have it.

While you’re here, have a look at the campy, over-styled clip the record company has filmed for Donkeyboy’s global assault. I am not terribly impressed, yet honestly outside Norway the odd original clip would have scared off potential tween-age fans (ie the JLS and Miley Cyrus set).
