Punk Globe : Fernando Velazco Speaks With TRISH HERRERA OF MYDOLLS

TrishHerreraFernando Velazco Speaks With
TRISH HERRERA
OF MYDOLLS

Texas’s punk scene has never produced any popular music band since the late 70s to the early 80s. It happened because of the fact that most of the bands had been influenced by a DIY ethic. The punk scene could survive thanks to fanzines and independent radio stations support. Mydolls emerged from that scene in 1978 in Houston with Dianna Ray on guitar and Trish Herrera on voice and bass. Later, the guitarist Linda Younger and the drummer George Reyes joined the band. Mydolls released their first 45 RPM “Mydolls ?– Nova Grows Up / The Rapist / In Technicolor” by the independent label C.I.A. Records in 1981. Really Read singer Ronnie Bond was the man behind the label. He was also Linda’s husband.

Free Press Houston : Take Give with the Mydolls

They were all super nice but we must admit that we were starting to worry about them, a Houston band, being the first band to fail the ZZ Top quiz but thankfully Linda came in and saved the band from eternal disgrace. Way to go Linda!

BLOGSPOT REVIEW: MYDOLLS – A WORLD OF HER OWN

The Mydolls were a Houston band that played shows, did a few tours, and put out some records between 1978 and 1986. On the face of it, they’re an unlikely candidate for a career retrospective, lacking a ‘regional hit’ and not even putting out a full length record – which is perhaps why A World of Her Own, as both a time capsule and a free-standing collection of music is so remarkable. By all rights, it shouldn’t exist at all. Yet here it is, lovingly released by Glendale, California-based Grand Theft Audio; 56 released, demo and live tracks from a band that most of us have never heard of, but maybe should have.
