The Cherry Dolls have announced a run of September tour dates in support of their debut album, Viva Los Dolls, out now through indie rock label, Golden Robot Records, with shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Geelong, Brisbane and the Gold and Sunshine Coasts.
An explosion of filthy primordial guitars, liquid rhythms and primal voodoo jams, The Cherry Dolls are the pied pipers of those in search of the endless party and the eternal weekend. With two critically acclaimed EPs under their belt and more broken guitar strings and tour damaged gear than they’d care to recall, the Dolls have delivered their biggest sonic missile, debut album Viva Los Dolls.The record channels primal despair fuelled by thunderous riffs and frustration distilled into a tightly coiled full length that explodes from the speakers. A phenomenon in their hometown of Melbourne as one of the biggest live draw cards, the band have been making waves nationally with an ever increasing fan-base packing out sweat soaked venues and taking cues from The Cherry Dolls’ lyrical maelstrom of star crossed lovers, broken hearts and hitting the bottle until dawn. Taking the malevolent riffs of The Stooges, the cocksure self-assuredness of The Strokes and the swagger of The Rolling Stones, the band have been hitting stages strutting their stuff with everyone from Spiderbait to The Delta Riggs, British India, DZ Deathrays to UK punk rockers Palma Violets.

Clocking up two years of unrelenting gigging and recording, with previous releases all picking up significant Triple J, community radio and commercial airplay, The Cherry Dolls have given more than fair warning of their promise as one of Australia’s most electrifying bands, with Viva Los Dolls another statement that these boys are not to be forgotten.
The Cherry Dolls are Joshua Aubry, Jakob Kagan, Thomas van der Vliet, Brendan West, and Jim Stirton.
