Hey there last.fm'ers,
If you don't already know who Rolla is, read the following:
Rolla has arrived safely and is currently residing in Connecticut , USA, Earth. The team, founded by guitarist/vocalist Fuzz (Deep Banana Blackout, Tom Tom Club) and guitarist/vocalist Carrie , was sparked by a spur-of-the-moment collaboration that delighted the fans who were in attendance to see Fuzz perform an acoustic set supporting Dickey Betts (Allman Brothers Band). Fuzz and Carrie were so sure their mission had a purpose now, they decided to record and tour as an acoustic duo bringing them together with acts such as Blues Traveler and Indigenous.
After a year of performing and writing, they recruited upright/ electric bassist David Shuman (The Lillys) and drummer Marc Balling , to form Rolla. David, Marc and Fuzz worked previously on their jazz release, B'gocK! which is why Fuzz saw it fitting to include these musicians to complete the sound Carrie and he were looking for.
The result was Rolla - a combination of Fuzz and Carrie's introspective lyrics and unpredictable harmonies with the organic textures of a jazz rhythm section that just wants to play rock and roll (don't they all).
Rolla is currently touring to support the release of their debut album, La La Land
