Sohodolls are a British electro group from London, England. The group was formed in 2003 and, following various line-up changes, currently (as of March 2008) includes Maya von Doll (vocals), Toni Sailor (guitar) and Weston Doll (keyboards). These members are joined by other musicians on stage.
The band - whose name is sometimes punctuated with a space as Soho Dolls - have described their sound as a cross between "decaying and desperate glamour" and "savagery and sex".Their debut album Ribbed Music for the Numb Generation was released through A&G Records in September 2007.
Biography
Sohodolls were formed in London, England, in 2003 after Maya Von Doll recruited Toni Sailor (Sailor Doll) after he attended a performance at the Rhythm Factory.
The band's first two singles caused enough of a stir to reach #7 and #12 in the UK indie charts released on Poptones - Alan McGee's record label. These were followed by another release of "Stripper", "No Regrets" and then "Right and Right Again", which won acclaim from The Fly to Clash and NME. They began writing and recording their debut album in 2006 with producers Robert Harder (Babyshambles, The Sunshine Underground) and Steve Lyon (The Clash, Depeche Mode). In October 2006, the band released a download-only single, "No Regrets", which the NME reviewed as an 'utterly magnificent slab of haughty electro-sleaze which makes Peaches sound as predatory and erotically charged as KT Tunstall. Let them get frosty on your ass – it is winter after all.'
Throughout 2006, Sohodolls attracted more attention - touring with She Wants Revenge during July, performing at Playboy's Moscow Playboy party in August, The Big Issue's 15th-anniversary concert in September, and 2 UK tours as well as international dates in LA, Istanbul, Germany and Italy.
Their debut album, Ribbed Music for the Numb Generation, was released on September 24 2007, preceded by the single "Right and Right Again" and supported by an extensive 35-date headline tour of the UK.
Their 2006 single "Stripper" was used in popular TV show Gossip Girl when one of the main characters, Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) stripped to it in episode "Victor, Victrola", which aired on 7 November 2007 on CW. The band was again featured in Gossip Girl when their song "I'm Not Cool" played during the episode "In The Realm Of The Basses" when Blair confronts Chuck in the Victrola club.
Tour
As well as having toured the UK 7 times the band have also played in Japan, Korea (International Rock Festival at Pusan Beach), Moscow, Los Angeles, Istanbul, Rome, Berlin, Paris, Barcelona, Vienna, Brussels, Hamburg, Madrid, Piza, Cologne, Oslo, Munich, Weinheim, Frankfurt, Freiburg and have toured widely in the UK, often playing towns off the beaten circuit. They have also toured with/supported IAMX, Ladytron, Klaxons, Daft Punk, Vive La Fete, She Wants Revenge, The Magic Numbers, Hanoi Rocks and Apoptygma Berzerk. They were also asked by My Chemical Romance to support them on their first UK tour, but as they had just sacked their manager, he did not tell them until a year later.
To promote the release of their debut album Ribbed Music for the Numb Generation, Sohodolls embarked on their biggest tour to date. Starting at Hoxton Bar & Grill, London, on 4 September, 2007, they headlined 34 venues across the UK.
