The Dolly Rocker Movement is a neo-psychedelic rock band formerly based in Sydney, Australia, but now based in Los Angeles, California. 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 group has released three 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,[1] and the Greek Peace Frog and Lost in Tyme zines. In 2009 Denmark-based label Bad Afro International announced it would release their third album, Our Days Mind the Tyme, in all non-Australian territories.
In late 2009, Poulter travelled to Los Angeles to start demo recording new solo and band material with producer Rob Campanella. There, the band has since reformed to include Poulter, Jimmy Sweet (formerly bassist of Hot Hot Heat), Emily Stoia (keyboards), and T.J. McDonnell (drums).
