The Dollz were featured in the film "THE CULT OF CINDY" (a film about Cindy Jackson)
which was shown coast to coast in the USA on Tuesday night
17th February 2004.
THE DOLLZ - BIOG: (3/11/2002)
The Dollz began life as an idea of Cindy Jackson's, to put a band
together and get back into music. Cindy Jackson is Britain's leading plastic
surgery superstar, see her site at:
www.cindyjackson.com. She had visited the Borderline
in London's West End to see a friend's daughter's band playing
there in March 2002, and had seen a poster on the wall for
upcoming gigs. One of the bands on the poster was her old
friend's the Vibrators, due to play there in a few days time on Saturday 30
March. (The Vibrators were one of the original punk
bands from 1976, and currently comprised of Knox - guitar/vocals,
Eddie - drums, and Robbie Tart - bass. Cindy ocassionally had
Eddie drumming for her in her eighties band Joe Public, which
Knox had once guested in.) Cindy duly went to see the Vibrators at
the Borderline, and later decided to ask them if they'd be
willing to enlist as a backing band for her. Cindy was at that
time finishing off her autobiography "Living Doll", and thought
that if she went back into music, something she's been heavily
involved in up to ten years previously, then that would
give the book an additional circular theme.
She then enlisted the help of her "daughter/protegé" Juliette
McCrimmon, and Juliette's friend Isabel Scott Plummer, as backing
singers. The band had its first rehearsal in a north London
rehearsal studio, the result of which was to give the band the
necessary confidence and inspiration to continue rehearsing and
experimenting with material.
After a few more rehearsals the band decided to record some songs
at Pat Collier's (ex-Vibrators' bass player and producer) studio
in south London. The band recorded seven songs, two of which were
covers, and the rest their own songs. The vocals were mostly done
at Robbie Tart and Zeus B. Held's studio in Kilburn, and the
tracks mixed back at Pat Collier's. Cindy, because of her work
with animal liberation, then had the idea of recording "Bright
Eyes", which was all recorded and mixed at Pat Collier's.

The band began getting airplay as a result of Cindy's
autobiography being published, because Cindy would ask whenever
she'd be doing interviews if they'd play a Dollz track. The band
also did a PA at Cindy's autobiography book launch party in a
club in the Kings Road, London on 23 October 2002. Currently the
band are in the process of looking for management and a record
company, and will be completing an album and releasing singles
soon.
