BARB WIRE DOLLS

AFTER 600 SHOWS ACROSS 18 COUNTRIES L.A.’S BARB WIRE DOLLS ARE SET TO TOUR UK/EUROPE/USA & RECORD NEW STUDIO ALBUM AT SONIC RANCH

Barb Wire Dolls is a female-fronted street rock band based in Los Angeles, California. The band consists of Isis Queen (vocals), Pyn Doll (guitar), JayJay Doll (bass) and Krash Doll (drums). With all four band members originally from Greece, Barb Wire Dolls formed at The Ikarus, a remote artist commune on the island of Crete. With Greece in political turmoil and bankruptcy, fate and destiny intervened when Rodney Bingenheimer of L.A.’s KROQ (the first DJ in the U.S. to play Ramones, Blondie, Guns N’ Roses, Nirvana) discovered the band and started playing the bands’ EP non stop. Bingenheimer invited the Greek band to perform in Hollywood and within a few weeks Barb Wire Dolls sold everything they owned and moved to Venice Beach in Los Angeles. Surfing/skateboarding icon of Greece, Pyn Doll, put his professional surfing career on hold and something magical happened: “Grecian imports Barb Wire Dolls have taken the Sunset Strip by storm” writes the Roxy Theatre as their U.S. debut show at the famed venue sold out. “Barb Wire Dolls are the most important punk invasion to the U.S. since the Sex Pistols” writes PMP as the band ignited and spearheaded a new music scene on the once-wild streets of LA. “There is a buzz on the streets of LA, it’s loud, it’s nasty and it’s hitting the region like a tornado. Their music, live show is so refreshing and full of an energy the Punk scene needs desperately” (Big Wheel). After selling out and packing monthly residencies in the LA area from the Viper Room, On The Rox, to the Doll Hut, Barb Wire Dolls headed out to conquer the rest of America.

In June 2011 they released their 3rd music video to the single “Bottle of wine”, a roadmovie, that had been produced in Los Angeles by Minimal Cinema. Also was their song “Rad masturbation” chosen as soundtrack for the trailer of the documentary “Anton Perich – a breathless ride of a generation” that shows exclusive and yet unpublished material about THE FACTORY, the scene around Andy Warhole and the legendary Studio 54.
Shortly after Pandora’s Bliss found their match in producer Jason Rubal (Robert Smith, The Cure, Amanda Palmer) who produced their second Longplayer “Oh Glorious Serenity” in fall 2011 at Seventh Wave Studios in Harrisburg, USA. After post-production in Cologne in 2012, a two months tour that took them to Japan and the US in spring 2012, the album was released in October 2012 with their new found label Radar Music.
