The Dollyrots are one girl and two boys. They're a punk rock band but their CDs are very pop. Rah rah rah. Kelly is sugar sweet but mischevious and might sucker punch you if you're dumb enough to try her patience. Which she has a lot of, if she hasn't been visiting her friends Jack, Jim or Jameson (please look HERE if that reference confuses you). She likes to do girl things like grow plants and sew up her t-shirts and crochet and make strawberry cakes (you can get your very own Kelly-made scarf at her Etsy Store!!) But, she also likes to play her basses til they are sprinkled with blood and drives soo fast she's not allowed behind the wheel but can often be found playing Words With Friends on her Iphone instead. She likes to get carsick reading and send postcards from the road so send her your address (to kelly@dollyrots.com) or favorite book (really! 636 Broadway, NY, NY 10012). Please don't send it if you don't want The Dollyrots knocking on your door next tour looking for a floor and a shower. Otherwise, they will stay in one of many swanky hotels across the nation they frequently trash with burrito wrappers.

Then there is Luis... Luis is mysterious. And very smart. He is one of those guys who you meet and think maybe you'd join his cult. I hear he has his own religion, based on the Sun God so it's not really a stretch. Get with it. Ask him about it sometime; he'll tell you about freaking that room full of people out while rambling about western religion while on some weird head trip. He is also known to get feisty when he's hungry or afraid he's getting sick. Which he seems to get all the time due to a combo weak immune system/paranoid disposition. He's always wanted a medium-sized Snoopy-type dog on tour, and now has that with the band dog, Quito. Sometime down the road he'd also like a giant South American Sewage Rat and/or rabid monkey. It's really easy to get Luis to flinch, he's not crazy about people touching him. Maybe it's because he was abducted when he lived in Ecuador as a child. He likes good brit punk, music of the early 90's because it's honest and don't forget Chuck Berry and Patsy Cline. On the road he likes to read parts of books he never finishes and stare out the window. He's good to talk to.

Chris grew up in the Midwest and moved to Los Angeles from Michigan. His first band was not The Dollyrots but they were tour pals since 2004 and shared a van, barf bags, and near death experiences across the US several times. He's an all around awesome dude. One way to his heart is food; he eats nacho cheeze at least once a day even if he's in Wisconsin and it's covering tater tots. He loves his new beard, a good truck stop, talk radio, and ninjas. Grew up on East Bay stuff like Fifteen, MTX, & ye olde Green Day. He met Phyllis Diller once and she said he looked like a young Elvis Presley. Sorry ladies: he just got engaged to be hitched. Talk to Chris, you’ll like him.

The Dollyrots have a keen album BECAUSE I'M AWESOME out on Blackheart Records and a previous record, EAT MY HEART OUT, originally released through Lookout Records and just reissued with additional B-sides from the original sessions. "Because I'm Awesome" was voted Coolest Song In the World 2007 on Little Steven's Underground Garage and several tracks were featured in TV/films such as "Reaper", "Greek", "Ugly Betty", "Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants 2", and "Bring It On - Fight To The Finish". The Dollyrots are currently filming scenes for an appearance in the upcoming movie "Girl Trash! All Night Long", and the band is also in studio putting finishing touches on their 3rd full-length to be released by Blackheart Records in mid 2010. A single from LP3, "California Beach Boy", was just released on 7" vinyl alonside an appearance on "The Price Is Right". The band just finished a Spring tour with Bowling For Soup, a Summer North American tour with Buzzcocks, and is headed to the UK with Bowling For Soup in Fall 2010.
