"Garish dayglo coloured fun." Ireallylovemusic
"A punk-girl vocal, jagged guitar and a fuzzbox holding the whole thing together. One can imagine MOLLOY performing this as the house band in a fetish club. Channelling Devo and Hot Hot Heat, with a splash of John Waters and a dash of Russ Meyer - imagine that little lot in a studio and you’ll get the idea. Its infectious, electronic pop-punk and is destined for cult greatness (at the very least)." Whisperin & Hollerin
"Get your stripper heels on and get up on that floor, because, this time, it's a no-holes barred minxy electroclash bash round at Molloy's, and the beats are on them." Stool Pigeon
"Its suggestive sexy electro that makes you wonder if the lead singer is horny 24/7.." Silent Dave's Blog
"Molloy are fine examples of musicians getting it right." Broccoli Music
"Their music combines the unconventional sound of the B52s with the dirty beats of peaches and then adds the hard rock guitar riffs of ac/dc and mixes in the cool, punk elements of television. that combined with their duran duran hair makes bone fide dirty-garage electro-rock clash at its most fucking brilliant." Kitty-Yo
"Molloy are the product of a mad cockney scientist (why is it always scientists that are mad - would it work if it was a mad postman?) who wanted to create a new electro-pop supergoup by filtering The Rapture into a test tube containing trace elements of early Human League and Goldfrapp." The Devil Has The Best Tuna
"After Little Cosmonaut, Molloy are something of a shock to the system with their cutely crafted electrofied new wave songs. Part Elastica, Part B- 52s, almost everything they do tonight is a gleaming nugget of genius, and it’s played with such enthusiasm it’s practically impossible not to love them. Everything from the squelch of the Moog, to the hand claps, and choruses that beg to be chanted works perfectly. That singer Caz spends at least one song bellowing down a telephone is a merely an aesthetic bonus. Molloy are certainly a band that should move on to bigger things."

We've started working on the molloymobile! More stencils will be added daily (or weekly, depending on how lazy/busy we are).
One kid who was watching us paint the car suggested : "why don't you put batman's bird on the roof?"
Any other suggestions?

Whisperin & Hollerin
Rating: 8/10 (Single of the week n°2) This sounds like it was written by a dominatrix between customers. It’s a dirty little number, dripping with sleaze and it's all the better for it. Actually, sorry to disappoint but its actually written by a male and female duo – Caz (her) and Jez (him). It has all the hallmarks of an indie dancefloor filler and if this gets out to enough people it will do that job very nicely indeed. A punk-girl vocal, jagged guitar and a fuzzbox holding the whole thing together, it really is a cheeky little number. One can imagine MOLLOY performing this as the house band in a fetish club. Channelling Devo and Hot Hot Heat, with a splash of John Waters and a dash of Russ Meyer - imagine that little lot in a studio and you’ll get the idea. Its infectious, electronic pop-punk and is destined for cult greatness (at the very least). The Blue Light District I just read Mark’s review of the new Los Campesinos! single… he’s absolutely spot on, they really do have the potential to be this summer’s essential ipod fodder… while we’re sharing like this I want to give you another offering…Following the rise in popularity of the indie-dance/synth-pop/bitch-disco band, I’ve spent moments here and there wondering if we have enough room for another art-pop floor-filler… If the song in question is the ultra-hip ‘ 1 – Buy this single! ‘ Ireallylovemusic yes, even more electro pop for you to spend your hard earned on. this time, the results are more in line with what the nu-ravers/ed banger scensters are all currently loving. with a very assured sound the lead track, tracy, has a sharp radio friendly hookline incorporating more of those fat analogue synth noises, alongside new chunky wave guitars. the results are brilliantly insistent, and generate a lot of garish dayglo coloured fun which given that the limited vinyl edition from those lovely people at buzzy new label, way out records, is on a lovely shade of snot green no less, makes things even more perfect for 2007. oh, and when you get an email advising the myspace page is called : Pure Groove Records Nice rolling electro new wave ting that was kindly dropped in by the band. Really sticks in your head after a couple of listens and will no doubt work in clubs. Music Spotlight The debut single from London five-piece Molloy and the first release from Way Out Records is a rather impressive blend of danceable electro, rock and pop. "Tracy" bubbles with enthusiasm from the very start and is a track which looks destined to go down a storm in clubs across the country. The chorus is particularly infectious, with the beats running throughout ensuring that the song remains etched in your memory long after the closing tones. In fact, "Tracy" contains almost all of the necessary hallmarks for a memorable song – a catchy chorus, a strong sense of melody running throughout and an undeniable knack for getting your feet tapping uncontrollably. Meanwhile, b-side "The Futurist Suit" is a less frenetic and chaotic affair containing some memorable riffs and beats whilst still managing to maintain a decent sense of energy and urgency. Not quite as instant and distinctive as the a-side then, but nevertheless this remains a solid effort. With their debut single Molloy have managed to find the perfect balance between instant appeal and longevity, and their brand of infectious electro-pop is definitely well worth a listen. Rating: 8/10 Norman Records Molloy: "Tracy" (Way Out) is a girly fronted punky pop with very affected vocals, erm.. I mean there's fx on the vocals & there's synths too so you could call it (New) New Wave. Confident debut, on envious green vinyl ltd to five hundred copies.
Enough said? Maybe. Driven along by dance floor hooks and with inoffensive quirky humour aimed at the song’s protagonist ("Tracy lose a pound… all you want is candy, candy, candy, candy…"), Molloy have tapped into something really rather special. Jovial and poppy enough to be loved by everyone who hears it but just dark enough to retain a mystique of underground cool; ‘Tracy’ (and equally strong b-side Futurist Suit) is a must-have summer single. Without being a hype-mongerer, you need to buy this record and go see this band play a show near you NOW, because in six months time the country’s indie darlings (Peaches Geldof, Queens of Noize et al) will have claimed them as their own and you’ll be kicking yourself. If I’m any more gushing I’m going to come across like a prick (more so than usual) but there are just three more things I need to say:
2 – Buy this single!
3 – Buy this single!
Stool Pigeon - December 2006
Also in a party mood are Molloy, who featured in Stool Pigeon 007, when we opined "if they sped it up a little bit, it might well be worth a foot shuffle down the disco". Well guess what, get your stripper heels on and get up on that floor, because, this time, it's a no-holes barred minxy electroclash bash round at Molloy's, and the beats are on them. "Tracy is a Peaches-meet-Le Tigre delight that is nothing if not danceable.
Silent Dave's blog (Virgin Radio Xtreme)
Talking of electro, I've got to mention a new band called Molloy as well. I'm kinda getting into this flirtatious electro sound that Molloy are churning out. Its suggestive sexy electro that makes you wonder if the lead singer is horny 24/7.. This suggestion is amply backed up by the single "Tracy" which will be released on July 2nd. Its Lyrical porn, Go listen to it!! Molloy play the Horse and Groom in Shoreditch on June 7th
Tasty - June 2007
Single 'Tracy' has not really changed in my eyes since I reviewed it in
December 2006 - it's still very good and it saves me typing away all over again. So onto 'Futurist Suit' which swaggers between synths and slashing guitar with Caz singing about 'dreaming in orange and green' - their sartorial colours of choice. Once again, incredibly self assured and silkily produced - have a listen and I defy you not to just wobble gently in your seat in a way you might think is funky (but actually makes you look like you have sat on something unpleasant.)My Groups
