Uncommon Ground ^ Yvonne Doll

Yvonne Doll
The Locals® are a roots-infused indie-rock, power pop band who have been hitting the highways in the Midwest for the last 7 years.

They've got 3 self-released cd's under their belt. The Locals® are currently in the studio working on their 4th full length disc (due out Summer 05), but will release a new 4 song EP "Eatin Paste" in early April 05.

The lifeblood of this band is their high energy live performances, packed with diverse and dynamic tunes. You'll remember a Locals show because of the power-house vocals and charismatic stage presence of Yvonne Doll; the eccentric, high voltage antics of bassist Christy Nunes; and the intensely emotional drumming style of EJ Dawson.

As for influences, you'll hear spatterings of PJ Harvey, Julianna Hatfield, Matthew Sweet, Wilco, and the Pretenders peering through The Locals® tunes.

2005 marks a new beginning for the band, with the departure of 2 members (Violinist David Goldman and Drummer Ross Rutherford), the remaining, and founding Locals, Yvonne Doll and Christy Nunes have set out to reconstruct and evolve the band's music with a new sound, some new blood, and their own endless supply of energy.

EJ Dawson (drummer) joined these two pint sized, power-house women rockers in Oct 04. The "new" Locals incarnation has a pure laser focused, tight, power-pop sound with one two punch delivery!
