The Dolly Rocker Movement - The Only One

The other day I ran into a band with the right peculiar band name "The Dolly Rocker Movement", the band is based in Sydney, Australia. Formed in 2002 by singer and guitarist Daniel Poulter, the Australian line-up includes Poulter, Ricky Drabsch (bass), Martin Walters (keyboards) and Christopher Rudge (drums). "The Dolly Rocker Movement" is a rock band with a T-Rex inspired neo-psychedelic pop touch spiced with true influence of late 60's garage/psychedelia, freakbeat & west coast folk. Kinda cool, must i say. The group has released three full-length albums through independent Australian record label Off the Hip.

The group has played with such acts as The Black Keys, The Lime Spiders, The Stems and The Lovetones. The band has had material showcased outside of Australia on various releases, including Northern Star Records’ three Psychedelica compilations, and the Greek Peace Frog and Lost in Tyme zines. In 2009 Denmark-based label Bad Afro announced it would release their third album, Our Days Mind the Tyme, in all non-Australian territories. That's the album were we are going to pick todays tune from.



In late 2009, Poulter travelled to Los Angeles to start demo recording new solo and band material with producer Rob Campanella. There, the band was reformed to include Poulter, Jimmy Sweet (formerly bassist of Hot Hot Heat), Emily Stoia (keyboards), and T.J. McDonnell (drums).

As of 2012, the band has announced its intention to record new material in Australia.

And yes, you can find this beauty printed on Vinyl!


Todays tune "The Only One" is taken from "Our Days Mind the Tyme" Release in 2009.
