Artist description The New Kings of Rock and Roll (Elvis has been dead a long time, and we figured the position was open). We use fully-tuned guitars, bass and drums to create noise. Then we sing over that noise. It's kind of neat, you should try it.

Music Style A bit of everything...EXCEPT funk, groove, rap, hip-hop, synth-pop, goth, glam, bubble-gum, r&b, metal, industrial, techno, dance. None of that. Everything else, though.

Musical Influences Beatles, Elvis Costello, Big Star, and other purveyors of finely-crafted pop music

Similar Artists Imagine Ringo Starr beating Peter Frampton over the head with a bunch of Badfinger 8-tracks. We don't sound like that, but it's an amusing mental image, yes?

Artist History Dotgirl's roots go back to the early '90s, when members Jim McMillan and Martin Burch played in The Large Hungarians. Dotgirl began in 1997 as a trio, became a quartet and was re-named Boxman in 1999, and re-assumed the name Dotgirl later that same year, for reasons that we COULD tell you, but then we'd have to kill you.

Instruments Guitar, bass, drums, piano
