Mydolls Release Collectible Red Vinyl EP “It’s Too Hot for Revolution”

(Houston, TX) – Mydolls (1978-present), Houston’s original femme punk band, has released a limited edition collectible red vinyl EP, It’s Too Hot for Revolution, in February 2017. The official album release party will be held at Lawndale Art Center on Friday, March 3, as part of the 2017 SPEAKEASY program.

It’s Too Hot for Revolution is a personal triumph for Mydolls whose members survived cancer and experienced the loss of guitarist Kathy Johnston during the making of the album. Revolution blends classic punk protest anthems such as “Politician” with poetry such as Charles Bukowski’s “Fair Stand the Fields of France.” Also featured on the EP are guest guitarist Dan Workman of SugarHill Recording Studios on “For Her” and bassist Dianna Ray’s dog, Amos, providing backing vocals on “Politician.”

“We’re excited to debut this labor of love, our revolution, as an exclusive edition EP for our tribe,” says Mydolls founding member Trish Herrera.

The band’s upcoming performance event at Lawndale builds on the legacy role and cultural impact Mydolls has had on the local music and contemporary art scenes and follows their recent program at Contemporary Arts Museum Houston for the 20HERTZ music-based lecture series: “A World of Our Own: Mydolls and the Houston Punk Scene.” Hand numbered vinyl will be available at the SPEAKEASY event, which will be free and open to the public.

Part of the first wave punk scene emerging in 1978 in Houston, Mydolls was fronted by girl punk rockers who have since paved a path for women in the arts and continue to empower a new generation of fans.

It’s Too Hot for Revolution was engineered by Andy Bradley at SugarHill Recording Studios and Sound Arts Recording Studios, and features cover artwork by contemporary artist Jack Livingston.
