Sisters Doll - Live in the UK

On this crazy rock and roll ride…

It certainly has been a crazy ride for the guys in Sisters Doll from Australia on their first tour of the UK! Now coming towards the end of their 14 date tour in almost as many days, they’ve been all over the country and gained many new fans.

I first encountered them during one of the times Melbourne was open during the lockdowns of 2021. I went to an indoor tribute festival, 7 bands in 7 hours to see some friends play in their Foo Fighters tribute. Sisters Doll were the headliners playing a Kiss set as they are huge fans and heavily influenced by the band. We were all blown away by them, welcomed their energy after a long night and especially impressed by drummer Bryce’s style and performance.

From there, I ran into them a few times with guest appearances at other gigs and also one of their own shorter sets at the Cherry Bar. Ironically I finally only got to see a full set just as I was leaving Melbourne so I was very excited to read that they were coming to the UK! 

Since I last saw Brennan, Austin and Bryce they have been joined by little (or not so little!) brother Sage on bass and whilst the three of them previously made some big noise, it’s an even better sound now with the four of them.

The first gig up last week for me was at the legendary Cart and Horses pub in Stratford supporting Kicking Valentina, who we loved and are now definitely rock party people. Sisters Doll played a 45 minute set of just pure energy, fantastic show and you’d think they were playing somewhere way bigger which to me is the sign of a great band, 5, 5k, 50k people you put on the same show with the same enthusiasm. One day we hope to see them playing to 50k and for now we’ll enjoy the intimate shows whilst we can! 

The other show I was going to was Hastings, originally they were supporting Cassidy Paris on her UK/Europe tour but sadly there were some band issues and the rest of the tour was cancelled. There’s usually a rainbow and this time the show would go ahead with Sisters Doll headlining, which meant a much longer set and the guys got to play a wider range of songs. Supporting them were Kit Trigg band, who I really enjoyed.

The band had been a little concerned about numbers being relatively unknown but the room soon filled up and everyone had a great night, quickly picking up on the lyrics and Brennan commented how lovely it was to have an audience from across the world singing your lyrics back at you! 


The guys were still looking remarkably perky, as we know a UK tour isn’t going around in a sensible manner but zig zagging, so they’ve seen a lot of the country and are probably running on a lot of adrenaline but enjoying the experience and the welcoming audiences.

Both nights they played a good set list, with stand out favourites United, Prisoner, Black Mirror, Dollhouse, Good Day and finishing of course with a sing-a-long Kiss cover. Sisters Doll have such a great stage presence, audience interaction and always look like they’re having way too much fun up there! They’ve been a band since they were teenagers, have kept playing, crafting their songs and adding fans to the Doll Army over the years, they really do deserve even more success and I’m sure it is out there waiting for them. The Doll Army has grown to include UK fans so Brennan hinted they might be back next year, fingers crossed.
