Episode 15: Dolly Dagger

Indie-alternative-rock artist Dolly Dagger discusses new single Tower, navigating the music business, musical upbringing and the value of social media for artists (photo credit: Kim Peterson).

Dolly Dagger is an antipodean abroad (we get around). Based in LA, Dolly and her band are carving out their own little space in the indie-rock landscape of LA.

Anyone who’s spent a minute checking out Dolly’s Instagram (@dollydagger_xo) will immediately see the commitment to engage with fans and really create a community around the band and the music.

Out last week, “Tower” is the latest single, featuring some great lead guitar and drumming alongside the star of the show: Dolly’s powerful singing.

Check out “Tower” and Dolly’s other tracks on Spotify. I find the music pretty irresistibly catchy. Apparently Paramore has been a pretty big influence, but I don’t know that band so well, so I’ll have to take her word for it.

Whatever the sources of inspiration, Dolly Dagger makes a cool mix of alternative rock and catchy pop hooks.

Aside from talking about the music, Dolly have plenty of experience with navigating the music world as an independent artist. We dived right into that.

It was an enjoyable and illuminating conversation for me. I hope you enjoy it.
