   About House of Blue Dolls
Born out of love and frustration, the House of Blue Dolls are an Oxford based band formed by drummer Dario Derma Lena at the end of 2005. He hand picked the most talented musicians he had played with, to create fresh, audacious and original music. Thanks to their wide and diverse musical experience, the Blue Dolls form a band that is altogether something too different and exciting to be easily labelled. The bands music combines a facility for rock music, with a taste for funky and Latino grooves as well as an appreciation of jazz and contemporary classical music, leading to a unique sound. After having collectively written a large amount of original material, the Dolls hit the studio in May 2006 to record their first demo together with Richard Haines at the Dungeon Studios (Radiohead, Supergrass). The result is a reflection of the groups diverse tastes and musical backgrounds, and thats just what can be expected from the Dolls: exciting and vibrant, with a unique yet universal style. With tracks such as Knock on Hollywood, Chevy 51, Tangore and Corpo Rita, this first effort presents a new twist to rock music thanks to Latino flavoured vocals, razor sharp guitar riffs, mammoth drums arrangements and bubbling bass lines. The House of Blue Dolls are now focusing on hitting the road in order to translate all their musical goodness into a monster stage show at venues in Oxford and the rest of England. The House of Blue Dolls have finally arrived! The band wants to achieve musicality and pleasure in both us players and the listeners. Clever music that can make you dance as well as sing, without loosing its musical brilliance.



Thanks to Max Warner for the photos and to Suki for the lovely artwork!
