Biography
a.k.a. a short recap from the start to where we are today
The first steps of Anydoll were taken three years ago when Madd and
Chris wiped the dust of their recording equipment and as a result, the
long slept creativity was awaken, bringing life to melodies and lyrics
and finally turning them into songs.
Madd and Chris soon realized that these songs were made for a real
band to play and to perform. Drummer, bassist and keyboardist were on
the shopping list. "We need a band, and we need it fast!"
The burning need to enjoy music in all its forms drove Madd and Chris
to contact Frankie who didn't hesitate when he was given the chance to
join the band. Suddenly, Anydoll had got at least five times more
brains. Next was the bassist Jester, who surprisingly didn't need a
lot of persuasion in order to join the group. In a way, he was already
in.
Sharlene "the born performer" was found singing on top of a grand
piano and fortunately for all of us, she accepted the offer to be a
member of Anydoll. There it was, one of the mellowest singing-voices
ever heard.
Our first ep When the Lines Are Broken came out at spring 2007. Single
Wash Away the Grief was next in line. It was published at late fall 2007.
After the single, a wind of change started to whirl in streets and alleys.
It was time for Jester to choose a different direction, which didn't include
the band. After that, it was just the four of us.
Luckily Madd didn't hesitate to grab his good old friend, the bass. We
made a decision to move forward and to move even faster. The new songs
were almost done. And from those songs became our latest ep, Everything's
Fine?, published at spring 2008.
And what else about this year? You will hear us, you will see us, you
will feel us.
That's a promise.
