And the project took a start since then.At first, they did some cover versions of The Pokers, Sublime and Bad Manners. And as time went on, they started writing their own songs. With a help from the former saxophonist, they had managed to create some pleasing tunes. The obstacles that they had faced in writing songs started to fade out and it had become a very enjoyable experience for they could express the creativity that longed to be realized. Songs by songs were written. This came with hard work and full dedication. Yet the band still needed a name. Two names came up. Dancing Dolls and Dirty Dolls. The later was chosen for it represents the kind of music the band plays to this very day, which is easy listening and romantic kind of SKA.
