( link to TPR video page ) Someone mentioned on facebook how the much better the sound should have set up, and I would have to agree. It's not like this was a cable access show. Knowing how The Dollyrots sound live this is clearly an audio issue (you can't even hear Luis) and not the band's fault. You can see the sound issues reflected on their faces but what can anyone do at that point? If I've learned anything watching American Idol, the star contenders just roll right through it 150% and a smile. Exposure is Exposure is Exposure and this is still good exposure.

The Dollyrots took this picture on their first visit to the Price is Right show, sitting in the audience with the hope to be picked to "Come on down!".  As far as I know that didn’t happen but this band knows how to network and promote when it comes to TV appearances (HP printer commercial, appearing as the murder suspects in an episode of CSI: NYC, a nationwide Kohls commercial) and the talent to back it up. Tomorrow (Friday 01.14.2010) tune in to the Price Is Right on CBS to see a special gig promoting their new album coming out soon on Joan Jett's Blackheart records. You can stream the first single California Beach Boy and Dumb here . I personally like Dumb better. Very few local bands I would vouch for and The Dollyrots are one of them. Honestly, a very sweet, talented bunch of folks working their way up. I count myself lucky to have come into contact way back in 2003/2004 and fully expect them to hit it big. website / myspace

So whilst shopping at Kohls for basic dress clothes for my non-existent job, I couldn't help notice that they have pretty decent in-store music (Nouvelle Vague for example) playing and not surprising, up pops The Dollyrots ' song Because I'm Awesome . I heard about Kohls using the song for a commercial but without cable I had yet to view it and duh, didn't think to look online until this morning. Nice to see a local band of good people and one time staple of Kiss or Kill make some money. Oh they're in the beginning and then in the audience at the end. So here it is: DollyRots Kohl's Commercial I was reading the press release and they're called a "teen rock band" (well they do look young...) and have upcoming commitments to appear on a college based show called "Greek" (ABC Family) and on "Sauce," (FUSE) some kind of variety show*. Already completed: HP commercial, episode of CSI NY. Next stop I could see them making: Conan...
