Soho Dolls

The bands electric influences have conspired to create a multi textured debut which shows their love of rock and roll, electro, glam,’77-British punk, jazz and hip hop.  “All these extremes make our music ribbed. We don’t fit easily into pigeon-holes – not in music and not in life. We feel our generation has been cheated. Modern life has conspired to make us dumb, numb and un-questioning. We want people to tap into their primal senses again: lust, anger, love, fear, happiness and humour. Lyrically and musically the songs on this album express all of these feelings and instincts.” says Maya the bands lead singer.

The bands first to singles, Prince Harry and Stripper caused enough of a stir to reach #7 and #12 in the UK indie charts.  These were followed by last years classic ‘No Regrets’, which won acclaim from the Fly to Clash and NME.

Soho Dolls have just completed a 34 date headline UK tour to promote their debut album Ribbed Music for the Numb Generation. The album was produced by Robert Harder (Sunshine Underground, Whiteley, Polar Bear) and Steve Lyon (Depeche Mode and the Cure) and has received rave reviews from the NME, Art rocker and a myriad of online music magazines.

Soho Dolls UK profile increased considerably after they supported Daft Punk and the Klaxsons at the London and Leeds O2 Wireless festivals last summer.  The bands powerful and energetic live performances were broadcast on British TV. Popular UK music webzine likemusic.com listed their London performance as one of the top 12 festival highlights of 2007 alongside the Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys and Daft Punk. Soho Dolls also played the Secret Gardens Party festival and the NME reported that they were one of the top 5 bands on the bill alongside The Noisettes and New Young Pony Club.
