Donnie Barren


Donnie Barren played lead guitar for the LA rock band "City Lights" in the late 1970's/early 1980's, writing songs for the group's single and EP. Donnie ventured out on his own and released the single "I Love My Cat's Meow/Falling In Love" in March 1983, acting as musician/writer/producer/promo-man.

The tune received college airplay across the US and Germany. "Cat's Meow" hit # 1 on LA's KXLU & KCLU, and then entered KROQ's "Rodney on the Roq's" Top 10 in April, moving to # 1 for all of May/June. At the time, KROQ (FM 106.7) was the # 1 AOR station in LA and was regarded as the new music trend-setter across the US.

A few years ago we re-released these songs along with nine other tunes so people could get a taste of his music. Check out the remake of "I Think We're Alone Now", "South Side" and "Can't you See The World Through My Eyes". More recently, Donnie has been working on some guitar-oriented instrumentals. Check out "Liquid Glass" for a taste of this new direction.
