Prima Donna Rising began in the San Francisco Bay area in 1979.  They relocated to Los Angeles.  and became a mainstay on the Hollywood club circuit and began touring throughout California, and the United States.  In 1985, Prima Donna Rising recorded "loud, Louder, LOUDEST."  Surprisingly, shortly before their tour of Japan was to begin, Prima Donna Rising disbanded. 

Fast forward to January 2018, UK band JoanovArc contacted lead vocalist Kimble Ouerbacker, who at the time was working as an attorney, and asked if Prima Donna Rising would join them on a tour of the UK.  Prima Donna Rising reformed specifically for the tour but had such a good time they have continued playing, writing, and releasing new material!  They released their first single "Leading Me On" followed shortly thereafter by “Nothing To Nothing,” and most recently their symphonic version of “Time Washes Over Me.”  Prima Donna Rising has been played on over 400 radio stations world wide, both terrestrial and internet, and the band has been interviewed in the French heavy metal magazine "The Metal Mag."

Kimble Ouerbacker, Steven Sunnarborg, Tony Shubumi, Greg Collister and Hekar Rivera bring their many years of musical experience to deliver a sonic tour de force to a new generation of Rock 'n Rollers!

Prima Donna Rising played a supporting role in the cult classic, Over Exposed, which featured the band stretching the envelope by portraying a fictional band in the movie, where their main role was performing live as a band and forever searching for the leading lady!  Loads of fun!

Prima Donna Rising was high-lighted in the weekly television series, Rockin' the Bay, which featured prominent bands in the San Fransisco Bay area.
