BECAUSE I’M AWESOME - THE DOLLYROTS
Punk-poppers the Dollyrots are gaining momentum via modern millennium tools: branding, baby. When launched in 2002, the song “Feed Me, Pet Me” found its way into an ad for Hewlett Packard. Now signed to Joan Jett’s Blackheart Records, the title track from second album “Because I’m Awesome” leads Kohl’s back-to-school campaign. Lead singer Kelly Ogden, guitarist/ keyboardist Luis Cabezas and drummer Chris Black have plenty of star quality to seduce teens: Imagine Avril with a giggly sense of humor. Lyrically, “Awesome” professes a lengthy laundry list of self-aggrandizing character merits, as a gargantuan cascade of guitars and percussion embrace the frenzied track. A group with gusto on the verge of discovery.
