The Dollyrots, consisting of Kelly Ogden (bass and vocals), Luis Cabezas (guitar and vocals), with Simon Hancock as their current touring drummer, are ready to kick off 2024 with a January tour accompanying Bowling For Soup and Lit. In March, the band will tour with Gymshorts as support.
But for now, they’ve released a new cover of the favorite “Auld Lang Syne”.
Described as “punked up yet sentimental”, the track is out now on Wicked Cool Records.
The Dollyrots share:
We’ve done Christmas originals and covers, a Thanksgiving song… figured we should round it out with something to play at New Years. Usually when Auld Lang Syne comes on I feel a bit wistful… I mean maybe it’s the champagne but it’s also time to reflect on time passed and what we hope for the future. Hopefully, the future is bright and full of goodness, so we made our version reflect that! And put in a little request for all of us to be better to one another. Maybe this year we can feel happy and hopeful when we hear this version of a classic.
On their recently released album Night Owls, the Dollyrots combine high-energy Punk tracks and introspective ballads.
The Dollyrots have also launched their annual holiday merch sale, The Twelve Days of Christmas, going on now, which means twelve consecutive days of merch giveaways and other prizes. Anyone who gets anything from their store is automatically entered to win a custom “Night Owls” guitar, made by Schecter.
Lastly, you can hang out with the Dollyrots family at their live streaming Stageit show on December 23rd, 2024. Show information is here The Dollyrots | Dec 23, 2023 | Annual Christmas Family Sing-Along!
