“With a new album coming out and 20 years of “Because I’m Awesome” on the horizon we’re thrilled to play some new songs live for the very first time – while celebrating a record that means a ton to us and the fans. Making music now feels as urgent and fresh for us as it did two decades ago and this tour’s going to wrap it all up in a one big bow!” – Kelly Ogden
The upcoming tour will feature the first-ever live performances of songs from the forthcoming album due out in the spring of 2027, alongside a special celebration of the 20th anniversary of Because I’m Awesome. Originally released on March 13, 2007, songs from the fan-favorite album will be performed at each show, giving audiences a chance to revisit the record that cemented The Dollyrots place in the pop-punk landscape.
“We originally wrote the title track to “Because I’m Awesome” from a sarcastic point of view, and after it came out, we realized it was being adopted it as an anthem of self-empowerment. Ever since then we’ve embraced that feeling. It means so much to us when people come up to us and tell us how that song and album has gotten them through a challenging time. Even after 20 years it’s humbling to have a record that continues to resonate.” – Luis Cabezas
Built around the lifelong creative partnership of bassist/vocalist Kelly Ogden and guitarist Luis Cabezas, the band continues to deliver their signature sound that’s equal parts attitude and optimism. A technicolor blast of sugar-rush hooks, buzzing guitars, and boundless energy that feels as fun as it is fearless.
Beyond the band, Ogden is celebrating 7 years since she took to the airwaves hosting her own weekly show on SiriusXM’s Underground Garage, spotlighting new music and championing emerging artists. Through relentless touring, a fiercely loyal fanbase, and a commitment to doing things their own way, The Dollyrots continue to prove that punk rock can be loud, welcoming, and endlessly catchy.
