The Doormats

About Me


These four young women are Bulgaria's hottest!
They will enrapture you with harmonies
performed like no other.
Lament with them as they share with you
their struggle with capitalism, chauvinism, and
... finding size 17 cowgirl boots.
Four girls, one guitar,
and woeful country music.

The Doormats have been performing since 2005, at various pubs and events around Adelaide, including a noted series of shows for The Adelaide Fringe 2007. They also regularly perform at private parties...
Here's a REVIEW of their show as part of
the Fringe Festival in Adelaide in 2007:

"Being confronted by four men in green leopard-print two-piece cowgirl outfits, hairy bellies exposed and white tissue paper protruding from their brassieres, is an experience in itself. Add to that some Eastern European flavour, the Village People and a cowgirl fetish and you have yourself one of the potentially strangest shows at this year’s Fringe - The Doormats. With aspirations to headline WOMADelaide 2008, the four Bulgarian ‘cowgirls’ known as The Doormats have heightened expectations. Somehow I don’t think their off-key harmonies and occasional breaks of baritone voice in amongst an attempt at high pitched femininity will be looked upon by the WOMADelaide committee as musical genius. Rather, this cabaret slash country musical slash drag queen show is bizarre and tacky. But, it is knowingly so and somewhere through their flawed accents and corny acting, you can’t help but sit with the smallest of smirks. Hardly a show to queue up for, but certainly an experience, you’ll truly feel as if you have stepped into an outlandish parallel universe." Kerry Loyson - Rip It Up 923 March 2007, Adelaide.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 13/01/2008
Band Members:

SCARY sings and whistles

BABY AAYIXA sings and plays guitar

DIZZY sings and plays trombone,
but as we don't let do the latter too often,
she's been practising the ukelele...

SPORTY sings and pouts

Influences:

All influences of The Doormats
have been gracefully provided by
The Bulgarian Ministerial Secretary
Of Mechanised Farming
And Cultural Development...
But since their arrival
in the capitalist country of Australia,
there has been repeated rumours
of them taking certain liberties with that...

Sounds Like:

It has been said that The Doormats
sound FAR BETTER than they look...

The Doormats do not agree
with that statement...
