The Real Dolls just gave a sterling performance at MTV Liverpool Music Week..

Here’s a review from Liverpool Student Media:

Thankfully, The Real Dolls restored my faith in the night as their loud, confident front-man encouraged everyone at the now reasonably busy venue to move forward and dance to their electrifying set of sample based hip-hop fused with the authentic rock sound of an electric guitar and bass. These guys are the missing link in the evolution of rock music; breaching the space between the social commentary indie of The Arctic Monkeys and the grime rap sound of Dizzee Rascal. Spouting lyrics of the rappers dream of bitches and hoes The Real Dolls got the crowd to really get their freak on. It has hilarious to see three photographers surrounding the band at one point on the small stage, making the huge, yet endearing, personality seem like an all star rapper coming out of New York rather than a middle-class twenty-something from Manchester. Their set was disappointingly cut short at 20 minutes to make way for other acts to set up and play, but by leaving the audience wanting more they had succeeded in what every unknown band plans to do, give a memorable performance. This is a group I would love to see perform a full headline set and are well worth seeing whenever they’re in town.
