The Dolly Rocker Movement - The Only One

 

The other day I ran into a band with the right peculiar band name "The Dolly Rocker Movement", the band is based in Sydney, Australia. Formed in 2002 by singer and guitarist Daniel Poulter, the Australian line-up includes Poulter, Ricky Drabsch (bass), Martin Walters (keyboards) and Christopher Rudge (drums). "The Dolly Rocker Movement" is a rock band with a T-Rex inspired neo-psychedelic pop touch spiced with true influence of late 60's garage/psychedelia, freakbeat & west coast folk. Kinda cool, must i say. The group has released three full-length albums through independent Australian record label Off the Hip.

The group has played with such acts as The Black Keys, The Lime Spiders, The Stems and The Lovetones. The band has had material showcased outside of Australia on various releases, including Northern Star Records’ three Psychedelica compilations, and the Greek Peace Frog and Lost in Tyme zines. In 2009 Denmark-based label Bad Afro announced it would release their third album, Our Days Mind the Tyme, in all non-Australian territories. That's the album were we are going to pick todays tune from.

In late 2009, Poulter travelled to Los Angeles to start demo recording new solo and band material with producer Rob Campanella. There, the band was reformed to include Poulter, Jimmy Sweet (formerly bassist of Hot Hot Heat), Emily Stoia (keyboards), and T.J. McDonnell (drums).

As of 2012, the band has announced its intention to record new material in Australia.

And yes, you can find this beauty printed on Vinyl!

Todays tune "The Only One" is taken from "Our Days Mind the Tyme" Release in 2009.

Foster The People - Pumped Up Kicks

This band visited Stockholm Sweden at Debaser Medis last week.
Apearently they were quite popular, (i never heard about em) Debaser was full this evening and the audience was singing along and seemed to like it.

I took some pics from the gig, here they are.

The vocal guy, Marc Foster had a terrible cold, coughing back stage, Really good that they went through this gig with this, they are not like certain other artists that cancelled a full arena..cough cough no name said.

Foster the people is a indie band from the States plays sorta atmospheric, psychedelic, and dance-oriented pop, they started up in 2009.
Foster was struggelin around doing commercial jingles and then he started up the band and had a break through with this tune, Pumped Up Kicks in 2010.
In May 2011 they released the debut album "Torches".



Ladys and Gents, here is Foster the people.

Peace, Thetania
