There are two bands under the name Dolly, one is Japanese (Ｄｏｌｌｙ) and one is French. It's decided that we should respect each band and we should have separate groups for both bands.
Popular French rock group Dolly got together in Nantes, a town in the west of France, in 1991. Their formation came about thanks to drummer Thierry Lacroix and singer Emmanuelle Monet - aka Manu - who shared a mutual passion for English and American music.
