I’m writing this blog entry late at night… I’m tired and it’s been a long week.
I'm super into Doll & The Kicks -- enough so that I come out to all their LA shows when their in town from Brighton, UK. Enough to REALLY, REALLY want them to come back and do another session, even though we've done two with them already. Enough to pass their music on to our friends and friends of friends. The rest of the guys from the RAWsession team were at this Doll & the Kicks session and they are both wholly capable of writing this entry themselves… They were both at the band's performance in LA at Key Club too, there for the band's first RAWsession a year ago. Hell, they were both almost got lost on The Tube in London just to catch a late night show!… but I guess THIS IS THE POINT -- I like these guys so much that I'm staying up super late to write this even if it means NO SLEEP (till Brooklyn!?).
- That is to say that they won me over with their first session and now?
I loved having them in our new studio more the second time because we were aware that they were going to bring the intensity and we were well equipped to handle it. And by intensity, I mean, first and foremost, the sheer power of Doll -- this girl is amazing and I challenge any working artist to compete with her vocals or intensity. She is a virtuoso; from McLovin to Morrissey, real recognize real and talent recognizes talent. As for the rest of the band - Chris (drums), Matt (guitar), Olivier (bass) - they're spot on, take after take, with no mistakes and no rest. Doll & The Kicks are, simply put, a machine -- a sexy, talented, rockadelic, machine of awesomeness!!!
That being so eloquently conveyed, let me back away and introduce our latest session (and one of my personal favorites) Doll & The Kicks.
Doll, Kicks-- If you read this, "Blimey, I think the videos looks aces and you were absolutely brilliant. The bee's knees if you will. Anyone that says otherwise is bullocks."
