Instruments Harmony vocals, guitar, bass, Vox Continental kbds and drums

Albums Two self released EPs, track on ORG records compilation.

Press Reviews "The Lollies are one of the best new bands in Britain, and they're not even British! ... casually brilliant and savagely witty" - The NME "exquisitely mannered indie pop with witty intelligent lyrics" -The Independant
