The Living Dolls

About Me


MyGen Profile Generator
Imagine yourself running amongst purple flower factories and fields of blue strawberries. Imagine witches flying through the air. Imagine (just do it), a saftey pin tree and orange clouds raining tears. imagine rats whispering in your ears.
Your slowly getting an idea of the world the living dolls reside in. Part beguiling world full of color and part light blue nightmare. A place where lions mew like kittens and winged,fire breathing kitty cats are bent on your destruction.
From our inception we wanted to make the music we love and share it with like minded people, whether that means someone who downloads a song, comes to a show, or playing with a band shares our love of Power Pop and Mod Culture from the 1960s, 1970s and early 80s. We love to help build back a mod scene in Los Angeles so if any of you dig what we do and would like to be a part of it, then by all means, let us know! We can't be the only mod band in Los Angeles can we? Let's find each other and put on some shows. Let's have fun making music we love!
