The Donnas come from my neck of the woods, so I'll comment. The Donnas initially had some Svengali-like manager for the first (and maybe the second record). Their sound changed largely because Donna R. learned to play guitar. She's quite good in a lite-metal sort of way.
For those who want to understand the whole White Stripes thing, check out Conan tonight. The White Stripes have been the musical guest the entire week. (Though I don't think there's any danger that Meg will learn how to play drums anytime soon.)
