Dollsquad, Shotkickers, 13th May 2022 by Mary Boukouvalas

Joey Bedlam’s DollSquad formed in 2004 in Melbourne. Bedlam formed the band to dispel the myth that girls can’t match it with the boys in a band, she commented:

“I think the issue is social conditioning. ‘Oh girls hang off guys in bands or girls on TV with their hot bums and cute boobs but they’re not in bands. And I think that social conditioning is the kind of thing that we have in our society.”

DollSquad have been through a number of lineup changes since their inception, however have forged a strong fan base, particularly in Europe, having toured that territory multiple times.
