You have pretty much BEEN Dolly Rocker.
Why did you choose to name yourself for a Syd Barret song and have you ever considered just going by Sara Corrigan?

Maybe the reason I chose a new name boils down to a lack of self-confidence. I didn't think I, myself, could constitute an "act." After college, I started working in a bookstore and a friend of mine there, Craig, played in a band called Torn Memory (sort of My-Bloody-Valentine-like).

He was lamenting that his bandmate David was having some ear trouble and seemed interested in playing quieter music; at the same time, he thought David would work well with me. I met David at a show and we started playing together. He'd add some lead guitar or bass to the songs. I chose to call our project "Dolly Rocker" because we were both Syd Barrett fans (Craig and David introduced his music to me) and I love that song.

I guess I like being associated with that sweet girl in the song, wearing a cool dress, drinking tea.
