Dollhouse

In March of 2003, at the legendary 100 Club in London, four scrappy young Swedish rockers decided to hang around the stage door and hand their 7" single to the bass player of their favourite band -- come hell or high water. After much begging and pleading, they emerged victorious and spilled onto Oxford Street very, very drunk, very happy, and for some unknown reason, completely naked. The weeks that followed changed the lives of Dollhouse forever. Their hero, Michael Davis of the MC5, brought their record back home to the U.S., gave it a listen, and before they knew it, Dollhouse had a manager (Angela Davis of Svengirly Music), a U.S. record deal (Dim Mak Records), and Michael Davis producing their record. The debut full length by Dollhouse is titled "The Rock and Soul Circus." The record is jam packed with real-deal rock and roll. Screaming guitars, soulful guitars, screaming vocals, soulful vocals, it all melds into an intoxicating experience that Michael Davis himself describes as "What the MC5 wished we could sound like. Maybe the fact that we didn't grow up in the 1990s in a small town in Sweden was the problem." During the recording of The Rock And Soul Circus, friends Lisa Kekaula (The Bellrays), Lars Strouberg (International Noise Conspiracy), Dante Adrian (Starlight Desperation), and Sam Velde (Bluebird), popped into the studio to add their two cents (or at least some background vocals). Davis himself backed the band on a killer version of the MC5's "Human Being Lawnmower." The end result is energy, timing, an onslaught of wah-wah, rock and soul, and the feeling that a revolution is starting right outside your door. The Rock And Soul Circus is sure to become the record that you will want for the soundtrack of your life story.
