ONE-EYED DOLL

With a discography of nine full-length albums under its belt, (four One-Eyed Doll albums, four Kimberly Freeman solo albums and one under the name Ghetto Princess) the band made No. 1 on ReverbNation's local chart[6] and has toured nationally with OTEP Cold, Wayne Static (of Static X), Peelander Z, Mushroomhead, and Orgy. The band's lead singer and guitarist, Kimberly Freeman (who has been described as Gwar meetsStrawberry Shortcake performs on a signature Tregan guitar, accompanied by the lone drummer (and producer) Jason Rufuss Sewell a.k.a Junior, in a theatrical style which has been described musically as "... Pixies meets Siouxsie meets Hole" and the "bastard laboratory love child ofDresden Dolls meets White Stripes and Marilyn Manson." One-Eyed Doll, which was formed in 2007, first gained recognition from their peers when they won their first Best Punk Band at the 2009 SXSW; the award was presented by Exene Cervenka of the first-generation punk band X. That year they also won 2nd place Metal Band, 3rd place Best New Band, 4th place Industrial/Goth Band, 7th place Best Acoustic Guitar (Kimberly Freeman), 8th place Female Vocals (Kimberly Freeman), and 10th place Best Record Producer (Jason Rufuss Sewell, for Monster.) One-Eyed Doll broke into the mainstream media, however, with the release of their third album Break, whereupon Kimberly Freeman was featured in the January/February 2011 Fallen Heroes issue of Revolver in its cover feature The Hottest Chicks in Hard Rock; she also appeared as an awakening zombie on America's Got Talent. She gained musical recognition as a guitarist upon being featured in a full-page dedicated article in the April 2011 Guts & Glitter issue of Guitar Player magazine as one of the Twenty Most Extraordinary Female Guitarists along with the likes of Joan Jett, Bonnie Raitt, and Nancy Wilson. The band has a fervent fanbase, and is known for their mutual support of their fans, some of whom have gotten tattoos of the band's iconography,[20] and for their equally fervent DIY business model. Amongst its national tours, One-Eyed Doll have been performing at several major anime conventions such as DragonCon, and headlining at the 4&20 Blackbird Festival in Weed, California. Kimberly Freeman is one of several real-life people to appear in the massively multiplayer online role playing game AdventureQuest Worlds (where she is styled as the True Sixth Lord of Chaos); the OED song Battle On is prominently featured. She also appears in the AdventureQuest Worlds Anything-Goes Battle On Battle Card Game on two cards, one of them a berserker enhancement card quite in keeping with her on-stage persona. She is also the voice of Sally in the Doomwood Saga of the same game. In real life, Kimberly Freeman speaks Mandarin fluently from a stint in China before beginning her music career, and was a volunteer for the Red Cross at Ground Zero after 9-11. Her producer and fourth drummer, Jason Rufuss Sewell, recorded his first record at the age of fifteen and has been producing records continually ever since. He has also run for the California State Senate seat for District 6 in 2002 (as Jason A. Sewell on the Libertarian Party ticket), coming in second with 26% of the vote. Freeman and Sewell have created music for commercials, movies, and video games, most prominently for AdventureQuest Worlds. An hour-and-a-half gonzo documentary of the band's life on the road on tour from Austin to Harlem has been released on YouTube for free by David Bruce Bates, Jr. One-Eyed Doll's 2012 album "Dirty" was recorded with Grammy Award winning producer Sylvia Massy (Tool, System of a Down, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Johnny Cash). Dirty was announced by the band in November 2011 on Dark Matter Radio hosted by Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro. One-Eyed Doll is currently touring with OTEP on their Destroy to Create Tour 2012.
