In 2015, the Barb Wire Dolls have burst onto the scene as Los Angeles’ newest punk rock sensation, with a run of successful residency shows at the Whisky-A-Go-Go and appearances elsewhere in Southern California. Following the March residency, Barb Wire Dolls dominated the Rainbow Bar & Grill’s anniversary event in April and then embarked on a nationwide US tour, spreading the revolution to the masses and delivering their brand of Greek-rooted, LA-inspired street punk. With the power of their live show at an all-time high, Barb Wire Dolls will once again invade the Whisky-A-Go-Go and rule the Sunset Strip, every Monday through the months of July and August.
Aside from their own on-stage dynamics featuring the unparalleled voice and antics of enigmatic frontwoman Isis Queen and the musical precision of Pyn Doll (guitar), JayJay Doll (bass) and Krash Doll (drums), Barb Wire Dolls are also known to present great local supporting lineups for all their residency shows, filled with bands hand-picked by them. Their summer run at the Whisky will bring to the stage Metal Assault-approved bands such as Tartar Control, Glam Skanks, Others and The Dramedy. Barb Wire Dolls will begin their set at 9:30, but there is plenty of incentive to arrive early and stay late at these shows, free for ages 21 and over.
Rock ‘n roll on the Sunset Strip is not dead, and Barb Wire Dolls are most certainly going to prove it this summer. Attendance at all shows is very strongly recommended.
