Coolest Song In The World! AGAIN! Yay!

Category: The Dollyrots

Happy February 2010!

I don’t know why…it’s just that I got to flip my calendar and I’m pretty excited about this year with the new record and stuff.. .yada yada. (I can’t believe I typed “Yada Yada.”)

The Beach Boy/Dumb single (buy it on digitally or on red vinyl HERE is you haven’t already) is doing pretty good! Little Steven chose CA Beach Boy as “The Coolest Song In The World” on The Underground Garage last week! Soooo cool! Thanks to Little Steven!

You also might have seen us play it on The Price Is Right…or heard it on KROQ when Rodney Bingenheimer’s spun it…or The Underground Garage when Drew Carey’s played it!

Yes. We’re excited. Just wait till the whole record comes out!!!! IIIIEEEEEEE!

We’ve also been spending a nice chunk of time working on ‘GirlTrash All Night Long’ the movie! Lots of fun but some very late nights! You see the movie takes place at night…one long night and so all the filming is at night… yep. There’s nothing like chasing a giant 1982 Chevy Nova around the lot of the Fonda at 5 in the morning while screaming at the tops of our lungs! A bunch of crazy scenes..it’s going to be a really fun film.  Be sure to keep your eyes peeled in the coming days for calls out for extras.  You might be able to be in some scenes with us too!

And…We just added a show for tonight in LA! Our pals from Killola needed us to fill in for them because Lisa’s too sick to chirp for you. So here are the deets. Looks like a great night…FREE show, open bar, other bands are cool! WOOOO!  What more can you ask for (that isn’t  totally illegal)!  See deets below:

Hope to see you all soon! We’re booking tour dates and have begun to add a few shows around the country so hang in there.

With whisky kisses,

Kelly & the boys!

p.s. be our pal on Facebook!

Happeeee Hollydays!

Category: The Dollyrots

Dear friends of The Dollyrots,

Merry Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Festivus, Winter Solstice, Boxing Day (etc) and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hope your 2010 is the best ever!

A few holiday tips:
Booze
Drugstores are great places to buy last minute presents
You can always pretend your sick if you need alone time
Easy on the sugar
Try to have fun
AND PLEASE!
Don’t drink and drive!

If you’re still looking for gifts I finally set up an Etsy shop, not much in it but if someone needs a scarf made by me then you’re set. You could also visit the store at Dollyrots.com or the Blackheart Records store. They have awesome new Christmas vinyl with our version of “Santa Baby!” So cool. And for the newer Dollyrots’ fans… we have “Eat My Heart Out” our first album, up on iTunes again!

I wish we had a release date or tour dates to announce but it’s not set in stone yet and I don’t want to jump the gun again! If it happens before the holiday break I’ll make an edit and post it here.

We sure love you guys! Thank you for always supporting us and regularly reminding us why we’re doing this crazy band thing! May 2010 bring happiness, healthiness and great success!

With the most sincere kisses,
Kelly (& Luis & Chris & Fuzzy & Quito!)

ps: I didn’t have time to put up my tree but this is how it looked in ‘06
Oh Christmas Tree

We choose Real.

Category: Girl in a Coma


Helllooooo
So here we are in South Carolina. Taking it easy watching trash t.v. Stallllionairesss. Ha.
Tours been interesting so far. Texas your always fun. We had Daria, our favorite Austinite, come on stage and do her thing. Too much of her thing. None the less she was fun. Dallas and Houston was another round of good times too. Over all..thank you Texas. Next stop was somewhere in Missouri. Lots of dancing, possible hallucinates being passed around among the dancers….which was causing them to break out the glow sticks. We played, we saw, we left. Met up with our new friends Black Gold in Atlanta and met a new Atlanta friend Nastassia, shes rad. Drunken Unicorn was a cool place… nice old club vibes.

Fixed the breaks in the Silver Bullet and now we are in SC. Tomorrow, The Milestone in North Carolina.
I think im getting a cold.

Jenn is shooting some video.. so we will have that soon. Im tweetin pics so join us at twitter.com/girlinacoma.

Guess what… we are working on a special treat for all of you after this tour. We are starting on it now.. and soon it will be in your hands.

More soon.

Been practicing all week.. gunna try and bust a cover out. The band- Velvet Underground.
We plan on finishing the year off with touring and a fun suprise show on New Years eve.. We will annouce where and with who later.

For this tour we are off with a band called Black Gold.. check them out here : myspace.com/blackgold. They will be coming off a tour with Neko Case. We are super excited and you can start getting your presale tickets already for some of the shows. Los Angeles Troubadour tickets are already available too. Go to the venue .. they are cheaper. It’s always usually cheaper if you buy them direct.. but if your a busy guy or girl and dont mind the extra fees.. then online is for you. We are still working on an El Paso date but all the dates are pretty much up.

This Saturday we have a free show here in San Antonio at the Market Square main plaza. Pinata Protest, Bombasta , Groupo Fasma and more will be playing too. Starts at noon and we will hit the stage at 10:00pm. Get there early going to be a rad day… Here is the flyer:

Almost time for a drumroll…

Category: The Dollyrots

Alrighty now (read it out loud like a leprechaun),
First, thanks to Joy for this pic. I wish Quito had poodle hair so I could make him look like this:
Poodle Panda LOVE
So okay. Here’s the scoop. The record is done, this you know. Just a couple knob turns up to 11 and we’ll have more info for you. We’ve decided on a title but we like to change our minds a lot so until the final version of the artwork is sent to the manufacturer and we have no other option we’re going to keep it bottled up inside. Trust me it’s not easy. And somehow we have enough songs tracked for almost two records so there will be B-sides galore. One day really REALLY soon we’ll announce the track listing, title and release date. I promise! I know I said that a week ago but it’s so close!
Until then… We’re coming up with some really neat ways to connect with you AND get you the new record. Yes, record meaning vinyl too! There’s also web re-design, marketing plans, photos and video OH stuff too. It’s a pretty busy time and we can’t wait to get you all involved. If you have any ideas feel free to speak up. Thanks for all the tour stop requests!  We’ve been making a list and will check it thrice! RAAAAAHHHHH!
I’ve also been doing my best to catch up on messages and other random stuff for you freaks. Myspace messages are finally ALL caught up but email and postcards are a whole ‘nother monster… I’m working on it. Sadly, when I switched computers I lost a pretty huge chunk of email to the Mac gremlins and as a result lost some of your notes. So forgive me. I answer everything eventually but those may be lost forever… please don’t take it personally if you’re one of the unlucky few.
One of the other things I’ve been working on is bass TAB! This one is for Gregg in Minnesota! I guess I’ll do all the songs eventually but request what you want and I’ll prioritize accordingly. If you don’t know how to play bass yet get off your butt and play along. I’ll help you. Or you can harass Luis for guitar TAB or Chris for drum lessons. Either way if you have an inkling… DO IT. Nobody’s going to do it for you and then what? HUh? Yeah. That’s what I thought. 
If you ever have questions about songs please ask away. It’s the most important part right? Why doesn’t anyone ever ask about the songs?
Nobody Wants You... Bass TAB

And I’m going to Florida next week. If you want pics check my Twitter updates! I’m teaching Quito to swim.

This Friday August 28th at The White Rabbit and our apologies

Category: Girl in a Coma

We are playing this coming Friday at the White Rabbit… its all ages with doors at 8pm .
its 12 bucks to get in.

if you paid 17 bucks from going threw detour tickets.. super super sorry.
we dont like charging a silly price to see a local band. this is our hometown and 12 is even pushing it
surcharges are kinda crazy.

we had no clue till it was brought to our attention yesterday. so if you dont have a ticket and wait till day of show you can get in cheaper. or if you wanna get it in advance then head on over to the rabbit and it will be 12 as well. the outlets that sell em will charge 17. basically if you want a hardcopy ticket its 17. crazy huh? i know. so my advice is come to the rabbit and pay to get in.

and we promise it will never be that price to see us here. unless we are opening for elvis or micheal jackson.

if you already paid it.. we are going to make it up.
love to all and see you friday

New record, randomness and show time!

Category: The Dollyrots

Current mood: electric
Category: Music

Smack!



Welly well sea saw,
The album is FINISHED! Like, mastered and everything and probably waiting to be leaked by some guy with shifty eyeballs in a vinyl duplication plant! We will announce a proper release date soon, but just think you’re going to have to wait till February and you’ll be pleasantly pleased when we tell you. It rules. We have a few extra tracks so you might get some early sneak peaks at what we’ve been up to… for sure if you’re on the street team.

Aside from making a record and playing some shows, going to shows and of course Tweeting away and doing very important business on Facebook… we’ve done some world traveling, got engaged, got bangs, have not cured Quito The Doggy Dogg’s neurosis, and had trips to the dentist. We will very soon be back to our old ways traveling around the US in the trusty van (that has a/c now), eating Taco Bell and pleasing you nightly. I will also start blogging when we’re back to work that I can tell you about. I guess I could be talking about the dentist and my hobo adventures in Italy but that’s what Twitter is for. Here’s my mandatory ultra-geek-out-shot:

There is something very exciting happening in the immediate future, for those of you in LA… We have a show on Saturday with The Muffs, Kepi Electric (ex Groovie Ghoulies!!) and the Little Medusas. It will OBVIOUSLY be a rad show. Doors are at 9:00. If you didn’t buy tickets you should probably get there by 9:00… Alex’s Bar is not that big!

Here are the deets:

Saturday! August 15th
Alex’s Bar
2913 E Anaheim St
Long Beach, CA 90804
9:00, $12, **21+**

We’re debating the set list but it looks like we’re going to play a couple we’ve never played before. One off “Because I’m Awesome” and one off the new one… named… HA! You have to wait. But only a week or so at most!

So that’s the scoop for now. It’s been nice playing house and being as “normal/World A” as we can but it’s time to get out of here and back on the road. Touring will commence in early 2010. Write back for special venue/city requests. No need if you’re in Pittsfield, MA or LaCrosse, WI… We got you!

Updates caaahming, like ARNOLD, every day, imagine the heaven we’re in!

OH and by the by…for fans of our first album…”Eat My Heart Out” is officially back up on Itunes!!!!! With 3 count ‘em three previously unreleased BONUS TRACKS from the original sessions!! Check it out HERE!:

Bites and Nibbles,
The Dollyrots
