In 2013, pop punk sweethearts The Dollyrots reproduced. But their new baby didn’t slow them down: they just brought him on tour. Thus the title of their upcoming live CD/DVD, Family Vacation: Live in the Los Angeles.
Released on March 11, 2016, Family Vacation is a concert film with a companion live album that captures The Dollyrots on their 2015 summer tour with long-time roadmates Bowling For Soup. It’s 40 minutes of pure rock frenzy, harnessed by filmmaker Ian MacLeod and delivered as both a video/audio download and deluxe double disc set.
The term “family” not only describes singer/bassist Kelly Ogden, guitarist Luis Cabezas, and their baby River, but also the extended family of Dollyrots fans, who supported the creation of this live CD/DVD by crowdfunding it on PledgeMusic. Those who contributed to the project received the film and album weeks before the public street date, and were also privy to some special extras, including a bonus studio EP and exclusive memorabilia. As Kelly puts it, “There are a lot of fans who might never get out to a Dollyrots show in the flesh, so we did our best to bring the experience to them. The only things missing are the ringing ears and sweaty hugs…but other than that I think we nailed it!”
Since their formation 15 years ago, The Dollyrtos have played over a thousand shows and released five studio albums, but Family Vacation is their first ever official live record. After releasing material on both Lookout! Records and Joan Jett’s Blackheart Records, the band decided to go completely independent for their last few releases, and 2014’s Barefoot and Pregnant (released through the band’s own label, Arrested Youth Records) enjoyed a #7 debut on Billboard’s Heatseekers Chart. They hope their fans will similarly embrace Family Vacation, which comes on the heels of multiple US tours in 2015 and a three-week tour of the United Kingdom with Bowling For Soup this past February.
Screaming, staying up all night, and vomiting everywhere: Family Vacation shows that punk rock and parenting aren’t so different after all. And it stands as proof that just because you grow up doesn’t mean you have to stop being awesome.
Pour Tour Jours
The Dollyrots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna turn and cry
Coz I'm happy, so happy
And every time that you take my hand and say
That we're gonna be okay
Makes me happy, so happy
We'll never be apart
Every time you go away I pray
Nothing happens bad today
Coz I'm happy, so happy
And every time that I kiss your mouth so sweet
I still wonder how it's me
Makes me happy, so happy
Pour tous jous means for always
We'll never be apart
?
Every time I look into your eyes
Pour tous jous means for always
We'll never be
Pour tous jous means for always
We'll never be
Pour tous jous means for always
We'll never be
Pour tous jous means for always
We'll never be apart
Beating in my heart
Beating in my heart
Even when it stops

Girltrash changed my summer. It would have been totally different had it not been for those wonderful dy-... gals. I wish this song was on the soundtrack! And while I'm on it... why is the reprise of Finally not on the soundtrack?! You know the one the girls sing after they kiss, and they go flying up into the darkness at the rock show, and then daisy's amazing rendition on the curb!?! Her best singing in the film in my opinion and its not even on the track!! I love them so so much, that it makes me scream.
