Not A Star In Sight So We Wished On A Satellite!

dollyrotten — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 03:01:49 +0000

Here’s our newest music video for “Satellite” one of our favorites from our self-titled and Kickstarter-funded 2012 album.

We wanted this vid to have a more lo-fi look and feel, taking a ton of influence from 90′s alternative rock and going against the grain of the super-crisp “HD pop video” approach. We wanted to keep it dreamy. At its heart “Satellite” is about longing and space. We felt like the California desert in it’s sparseness, Joshua trees, and other-worldly landscape would be a perfect backdrop. We had a blast working with producer/director Helmut Roethel in the sunny chilly windy dusty desert!

As we type we’re headed to Austin, TX for our 8th South-By-Southwest and playing a few other dates as well! Behind the drum kit on this run is Aixa Vilar, you might know her from Go Betty Go!

Howdy Darlins,

We would like to formally invite you to visit us in Kelly’s apartment this Thursday Feb 28th at 5:30 PST for an acoustic performance of your favorite Dollyrots’ love songs (as voted on by our fans at Facebook)! You can watch from anywhere, WORLDWIDE. Only a limited # of tickets are available for this one-time performance… which means there will be plenty of room in the chat room for you to talk to us throughout the show. And to top it off tickets are pay-what-you-want so you’ve got nothin’ to lose! The show sold out at the last minute last time so if you’d like to watch don’t wait until it’s too late. Tix here!

The past couple weeks have been crazy busy and exciting… we filmed 2 music videos for songs off The Dollyrots! One for “Starting Over Again” and one for “Satellite”. They may not be considered ‘singles’ but, hey, they’re two of our favorites so we did it anyway! There’s some behind the scenes stuff in the video update below if you want a sneak peek.

AND in a couple weeks we’re headed on a Southwestern US Tour to Austin, TX for SXSW! It will be our 9th time at the festival and our 1st trip through TX this year! We’ll have the dates up any day now.

Don’t forget… to have fun…much more coming soon!

Hootie Hoo!

04.05.13 Is that The Dollyrots on an advert for The Masters on BBC?

dollyrotten — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 01:54:01 +0000

Yep! That’s our song “Because I’m Awesome” on a BBC ad!! Believe it or not we didn’t know about the placement until our Twitter feed started going crazy with the mentions so thanks for letting us know UK pals. When we wrote the song we never imagined it finding a place alongside Tiger Woods. We think it’s pretty neat… watch below…
