Right Back At Ya!

85: Lost Girl Bands Vol. 1 - Mini Viva, Dolly Rockers and Girls Can't Catch


Listen Later

This podcast truly loves a pop girl group - and it shows! For years we have talked about doing a special episode celebrating the 'lost' girl bands of the 2000s and now here we are. It felt absolutely right to kick things off with the three distinct British girl groups that were launched in 2009: Mini Viva, Dolly Rockers and Girls Can't Catch. While these groups sadly disbanded not long after their launch, they will always live on in our hearts. 

Together, Joel and David present you the girlies, getting into their singles and album sampler highlights, and more! Bring on the nostalgia! 

Mini Viva, the Xenomania pop duo of Britt and Frankee, released three singles 'Left My Heart in Tokyo', 'I Wish' and 'One Touch'. Dolly Rockers, who started their fledgling journey on The X Factor but returned stronger in a few years with the buzz-worthy track 'Je Suis Une Dolly' which led to a deal with Parlophone, culminating in their official debut single 'Gold Digger'. Fascination Records' Girls Can't Catch was positioned as the 'little sister' of label mate girl groups Girls Aloud and The Saturdays, but they ultimately left us wanting more after the release of their singles 'Keep Your Head Up' and 'Echo'. 

If you are loving what we're doing, let us know in the comments. Who would you like to see in a 'Lost Girl Bands Vol.2'?
