We are The Dollyrots. We're a rock and roll band from Los Angeles. Lead singer Kelly Ogden is a sweetheart who brutalizes her basses and sings like a thousand angels descended from Heaven. Guitarist Luis Cabezas writes with more hooks than a pirate ship, plays a mean 3-note solo, and screams along. The two of us are California transplants - originally from Florida - who moved to L.A. to live the rock 'n roll dream. We've clawed our way through 600 shows in the past 8 years on the road supporting the likes of Bowling For Soup, Buzzcocks, The Go-Gos, Paramore, and Joan Jett. Alicia Warrington is the newest Dollyrot and can hit a drum harder than men three times her size hopped up on benzedrine. She brings with her tons of experience as a professional drummer and has whipped the band into a previously unseen tightness. We all grew up children of 90's alternative rock, love 70's punk and garage, and even the occasional Tiffany song.
After a debut on Lookout Records (Eat My Heart Out) and two albums on Blackheart (Because I'm Awesome, A Little Messed Up) we decided to go independent for our upcoming release with the help of our insanely loyal fans. They pledged support through a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign that provided recording funds in exchange for locks of our hair and tons of other fun stuff. The result, The Dollyrots, is a mix of super-slick modern pop, classic three-chord punk rock, and a healthy dose of 80's new wave. All the sugary, catchy, and aggressive elements that define our band remain, while producer John Fields' spontaneous and decisive recording style creates an urgency unheard since our first album.
Our music and faces have shown up on screens big and small, placed in lots of film & TV including CSI:NY, Vampire Diaries, and Easy A. We've also been featured in ad campaigns for Kohl's and Hewlett-Packard. Plans for 2012 include releasing this new album to the masses, reaching new fans that won't know what hit 'em, and bringing The Dollyrots straight to the ears of the current fans that helped make it happen by touring relentlessly across the U.S. and abroad. We are The Dollyrots. Expect us.
