New Album Out Now!

Our Days Mind The Tyme



Greg Shaw (R.I.P.) - Bomp! Records
Why isn't any band in America making music this beautiful?

Many questions to answer. Many answers to question.
You'll find them on the outside. Where our world is filled with
electric sunshine by day and a yellow moon by night

Ears tuned into a blend of flowering psychedelia, chemical country
and a dusty garage vibe

One way to get high is to come along for the ride.
=-=-=-=-=-=

=-=-=-=-=-=
A purple journey of love fuzz hope echo dreams ups & downs, so open your heart & follow the sound.
You can see through orange down the wiser road.
All teary eyed & gypsy dancing Au go-go tell it all like it is my friend for what's hers is mine is yours
until the end.

Quietly going about its business since 2003, The Dolly Rocker Movement has evolved through various guises and moods. The Barrett-influenced pysch-pop has traded moves with garage, surf, and wall of sound - a mixture aptly described as 'melts in your mind, not in your hand'.

Solid followings amongst the harbour city's psych underground & garage rock crowd have given the band's live shows a unique energy. After a sold-out release party at Spectrum, the debut album Electric Sunshine would go on to become Drum Media's album of the week. With Melbourne-based Off the Hip's continued backing the sophomore effort A Purple Journey Into the Mod Machine further spread the band's mantra to places as diverse as Denmark, Texas, Italy and Cronulla.

Constantly underpinning the DRM sound is the determination to produce work of authenticity and honesty. Recordings journeying from the dusty four-track have crept onto Triple J's airwaves, while the solid live show, complemented by Dandy Lyon's charismatic 'shoe shuffling' and a rhythm as 'tough as nails', have seen the band continue to grow its reputation.

Mid-2008 saw the guys head into the studio with a slightly different goal, to polish the sound as well as capture it. The fruits of these endeavours were offered late '08, with the double-a-side A Sound for Two warming things up for the third full-length album Our Days Mind The Tymes in early 2009. This is only the beginning of the next step in the Dollys' journey.

    Cool, Gabe hooked up The Silver Moon Uprising with the Dollys. Frowning Clouds should be next to hook up, they were another gig-mate of the Dollys whom I checked out, VERY good stuff.

    I haven't had a stable Internet connection for the past few months. In the coming weeks I should have immediate access to the Internet and I will try to do my best and update all of my groups as much as possible.

    Well, the new layout for last.fm completely ruined my original layout of the group page. I can no longer have the description on the left hand side which had album art, links to websites, artist info and such. The group picture is tiny now which really sucks. I miss the way the group looked like previously.
