The Dolly Rockers

It was 1990, Penguins In Bondage had split and Greg Donnelly had just returned from a stay in the UK where he had fallen for the Jesus & Mary Chain’s mesh of noise and melody. He teamed up with his old Awakening band mate, Aidan Harper, Sonic Youth aficionado, Roy Green, on drums and Janine on bass. The foursome starting gigging around Cape Town after just a few rehearsals, supporting the likes of alternative rock stalwarts like No Friends Of Harry and Not Even The TV.
