One-Eyed Doll is the Austin, Texas based rock and roll band led by guitarist and singer Kimberly Freeman.

Freeman's wild stage antics, theatrical presentation, tough guitar chops and acrobatic moves have earned her unprecedented recognition in the world's live music capital. Several National tours have imprinted the group's mark on the United States and Central America. Plans for International tours this season will bring One-Eyed Doll to Europe, The Far East, Canada and more.

The group is backed by bassist PJ Evans: AKA "NUMBER THREE" and drummer Jason Rufuss Sewell, AKA "NUMBER THREE JUNIOR".

Previously a career movie actor, Three joined shortly after the production of the January 2007 release, "Hole". Sewell is a new addition, having been with the band in the studio since 2006 as Kimberly's career-long record producer and friend.

From 2007 to 2008 with the release of the debut album, Freeman's small community cult following exploded into a global fan base, setting a new standard for the modern independent guerrilla DIY business structure.

One-Eyed Doll released their most prolific and decidedly popular work to date, "Monster" in November 2008, once again under the precise hand of veteran producer [and now drummer] Jason Rufuss Sewell. The new album debuts, to the triumph of their inherently eccentric and diverse following, Kimberly's signature dark, heavy hits, "Fight" and "Monster", blending seamlessly with radio pop style ballads like "Brief Candle" and "Pretty Song".

A third album is in the works at Nebulost Productions in Austin alongside several solo albums by Freeman, scheduled to be released in 2009.


ALBUM REVIEW:
Singing, songwriting, guitar-weilding punk doll Kimberly Freeman is the creator of this super-charged anime-style rock due, screeching out nursery rhymes and cooing evil phrases throughout an energizing, forceful album of precocious ditties like, "Scapegoat" and the creepy, "Meth Monster". Her belted-out ferocity and fabulous looks remind me of Dominique of Stolen Babies, but the music's less self-conscious , more ballsy Pixies meets Siouxsie meets Hole. Austin's One-Eyed Doll is captivating, wild and never predictable, the way indie rock should be.

ALBUM REVIEW:
"One-Eyed Doll is dirty, corrupt, and dangerously sweet. Her dark heavy rock tantalizes heavy metal fans and grants entrance to the mainstream with bustling popular harmonies.

Adorned with humungous guitar riffs and Kimberly Freeman's sugared girlish voice, the debut album Hole will send you into a fit of pleasurable desolation.

One-Eyed Doll doesn't hesitate to reveal what's on her mind. Her candied voice praises suicide and Prozac, and sends and ode to needles in a mental hospital. To contrast the disturbed images of desperation, One-Eyed Doll also stands strong for what she believes. She won't tolerate players, abuse, or hypocritical America.

Freeman stands strong against an ex in "Scapegoat." The track is introduced with a plucking guitar progression. The drums slide into the background as the track oscillates between slow composure and raging intolerance. "And I'm not your scapegoat, / And I'm not your punching bag, / And I won't be sorry, / Cause I'm the best thing that you'll never have," Freeman fumes. "Scapegoat" has all the elements of the sweet and anti-authoritarian Avril Lavigne at her best. Only Kimberly Freeman takes on this role naturally, while it seems Avril has to strive to achieve the disaffected image.

The assailing side of One-Eyed Doll attacks listeners with "Suicide Serenade." We become acquainted to this track with the first four notes of the "Star Spangled Banner." Just as a singer might say "see," the guitars scream with fierce anger before coming to a close. Then a pop beat combines with Freeman's sweetest voice to bop a repetition of "Happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy America!" The track quickly teeters back to harsh metal and descriptions of people falling to their graves.

"Master" broadcasts the artsy side of Kimberly Freeman's work. The subtle track holds an aura of slow paced surrealism. A sample of laughing and screaming kids quietly decorates the track as the simple track radiates with raw beauty.

The quirky side of One-Eyed Monster reveals itself in "Hoochie Mama." Scott Sutton, who appears as a frequent guest throughout Hole, shines on the drums during this track. Sutton slams the percussion while changing tempo and rhythm. Freeman's intelligent and playful lyrics refuse to allow a seedy man to think he has a chance with her. "You think it should be easy to get in my pants. Well it took me five minutes to put these things on, I can hardly breathe let alone be turned on," Freeman seethes. "And I don't want to hear your new death metal riff," she adds to drive home her disinterest.

Disturbing yet wonderfully addictive, One-Eyed Doll proves that Kimberly Freeman is the foul, daring girl that every man wants but won't necessarily get. The Austin-based artist may not allow men control to control her, and she's certainly not taking anybody's foolishness. One-Eyed Doll would prefer control your emotions with her hook laden tracks, incredible voice, and diverse range."

ALBUM REVIEW:
This uniquely heavy/sweet rock band is predominantly the brainchild of Austin vocalist/guitarist Kimberly Freeman. Between her metalesque guitar assault, sweet-toned yet fierce voice, danger-laden lyrics, and eclectic make-up, Freeman directs the band persona to something like heavy rock Japanese anime. Among the best moments, Scapegoat twists nicely between arch-pop verse and full-bore rock chorus, Hoochie Mama jerks a knot in guys who think with their groin (You think it should be easy to get in my pants/Well it took five minutes to pull these things on/I can hardly breathe let alone be turned on), and the galloping Nudie Bar is a plot for revenge against the boyfriend-stealing establishment (propane tanks are involved). One-Eyed Doll can sound straight ahead yet provocative as on Black Forest or archly dark as on Recipe 4 Success and Suicidal Serenade. For nearly an hours worth of hard rockin crunch at around $10 on CD Baby, its hard to go wrong with this quite interesting disc.

LIVE REVIEW:
In live performance, Kimberly Freeman of One-Eyed Doll, combines the rock-star bravado of a Jack White (or Jack Black) with the visual impact of a Japanese Anime... a super heroine that's alternately fierce, outrageous, vulnerable and sweet. Dressed like a punk-metal baby doll, she punctuates her raging guitar work with a a three-foot mane of hair she whips and flails about rhythmically, mesmerizing the audience with displays of physical agility that literally burst the confines of the stage. And similar to the White Stripes or Black Keys, she is accompanied by a lone drummer... If you haven't seen them, what are you waiting for?!" Marsha Mann, 2.2007
