The Real Dolls

The concept of The Real Dolls came from rapper, Rod Hotly. Hotly joined forces with Manc Japanese rapper Yoshi, production-savvy Real Dave and world-class scratch DJ, Peter Parker (Fingathing) to form The Real Dolls .

Falling in step with the likes of N.A.S.A, Santigold & M.I.A, they are a party band, they like to make you move with their bold, fresh mix of hip-hop, electro, punk and the J-pop sound of ParaPara to make PRONK! _or sex punk_their own brand of music.

Their dynamite combination of cred and killer hooks is already causing a buzz in underground circles and it wont be long before The Real Dollstake over the planet.

Live they are in their element with shows constantly changing and energy levels always pushed to 11. Entertainment is high on the agenda as this 4 piece join forces with Veba (Groove Armada, Rae & Christian) and Zoe McVeigh (Hooker) to make effortlessly cool music!
