" The hilariously outrageous is tinged with just enough pain and darkness to keep this comedy tethered to reality." - Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

A raunchy, wry and in-your-face tale of the fast rise and fall of an all-girl, four-piece Portland rock band, The Paper Dolls. Working day jobs while dreaming of success, aspiring young rockers Kali, Lavender and Reggie get the jump start they need when local legend Fauna, singer for the obscure band The Snogs, joins them as lead singer. But Fauna, street-wise and opportunistic, just wants to use them on her way to stardom. The commercial direction in which Fauna is leading the band begins chipping away at their friendship. All comes to a head during a two-day party at the Doll House—a house into which they all have recently moved. The next morning, a body is found, someone is dead, and the Dolls' world changes forever.

Outrageous and droll, and marked by appreciation for the way aspiring musicians live and scrounge, Down & Out With The Dolls is an underground comic book come to life, and features numerous cameos by real-life rockers including Zoe Poledouris, Kinnie Starr, Lemmy Kilmister (Motorhead), Janice Tanaka (L7 and Pink), Inger Lorre (ex-Nymphs) and Coyote Shivers.
