With a discography of 11 full-length albums under its belt, [5] (six One-Eyed Doll albums, four Kimberly

Freeman solo albums and one under the name Ghetto Princess) the band made No. 1
on ReverbNation's local chart[6] and has toured nationally with OTEP[7][8] Cold, Wayne Static (of Static
X), Peelander Z, Polkadot Cadaver, Wednesday 13, Mushroomhead, and Orgy. The band's lead
singer and guitarist, Kimberly Freeman (who has been described as Gwar meets Strawberry
Shortcake)[9] performs on a signature Tregan guitar, accompanied by the lone drummer (and
producer) Jason Rufuss Sewell a.k.a. Junior, in a theatrical style [10] which has been described
musically as "... Pixies meets Siouxsie meets Hole"[11] and the "bastard laboratory love child
of Dresden Dolls meets White Stripes and Marilyn Manson."[12]
One-Eyed Doll, which was formed in 2007, first gained recognition from their peers when they won
their first Best Punk Band at the 2009 SXSW; the award was presented by Exene Cervenka[2] of the
first-generation punk band X. That year they also won 2nd place Metal Band, 3rd place Best New
Band, 4th place Industrial/Goth Band, 7th place Best Acoustic Guitar (Kimberly Freeman), 8th place
Female Vocals (Kimberly Freeman), and 10th place Best Record Producer (Jason Rufuss Sewell,
for Monster.)[13] One-Eyed Doll broke into the mainstream media, however, with the release of their
third album Break, whereupon Kimberly Freeman was featured in the January/February 2011 Fallen
Heroes issue of Revolver in its cover feature The Hottest Chicks in Hard Rock; she also appeared as
an awakening zombie on the America's Got Talent semi finals as part of ArcAttack.[14] She gained
musical recognition as a guitarist upon being featured in a full-page dedicated article in the April
2011 Guts & Glitter issue of Guitar Player[15] magazine as one of the Twenty Most Extraordinary
Female Guitarists[16] along with the likes of Joan Jett, Bonnie Raitt, and Nancy Wilson.[17] The band
has a fervent fanbase,[18][19] and is known for their mutual support of their fans, some of whom have
gotten tattoos of the band's iconography, [20] and for their equally fervent DIY business model.[9][21]
[22]
 Amongst its national tours, One-Eyed Doll have been performing at several major anime
conventions such as DragonCon,[23] and headlining at the 4&20 Blackbird Festival in Weed,
California.[24][25]
Kimberly Freeman is one of several real-life people to appear in the massively multiplayer online role
playing game AdventureQuest Worlds (where she is styled as the True Sixth Lord of Chaos); the
One-Eyed Doll song "Battle On" is prominently featured. She also appears in the AdventureQuest
Worlds Anything-Goes Battle On Battle Card Game on two cards,[26][27] one of them a berserker
enhancement card quite in keeping with her on-stage persona. [28] She is also the voice of Sally in the
Doomwood Saga of the same game.
In real life, Kimberly Freeman speaks Mandarin fluently from a stint in China before beginning her
music career, and was a volunteer for the Red Cross at Ground Zero after 9-11. Her producer and
fourth drummer, Jason Rufuss Sewell, recorded his first record at the age of fifteen and has been
producing records continually ever since. Sewell has helped produce and engineer albums
with Grammy Award-winning producer Sylvia Massy working at her RadioStar Studios in Weed, CA.
He has also run for the California State Senate seat for District 6 in 2002 (as Jason A. Sewell on
the Libertarian Party ticket), coming in second with 26% of the vote.[29] Freeman and Sewell have
created music for commercials, movies, and video games, [1] most prominently for AdventureQuest
Worlds.[30]
An hour-and-a-half gonzo documentary of the band's life on the road on tour from Austin to
Harlem[31] has been released on YouTube for free by David Bruce Bates, Jr.[32]
One-Eyed Doll's 2012 album, Dirty, was recorded with Grammy Award-winning producer Sylvia
Massy (Tool, System of a Down, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Johnny Cash). Dirty was announced by the
band in November 2011 on Dark Matter Radio hosted by Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro. It
was reported that the band recorded another album entitled Committed, to be produced by Sylvia
Massy, which would see the light of day in late 2013.[33] The "Committed" video released for this
album "Committed", directed by Patrick Kendall (Megadeth, Incubus, Theory of a Dead Man) was
released exclusively by Revolver Magazine in October 2012. As of August 2019, the video has over
790,000 views on YouTube.com. One-Eyed Doll instead went on to release the album "Monster
(Remonstered)" in 2013. Jason Sewell produced. Sylvia Massy was given a Special Thanks credit
on the album.[34]
One-Eyed Doll toured with Otep and Butcher Babies on their "Destroy to Create Tour" and as Direct
Support with Otep and openers Picture Me Broken on the "Seduce and Destroy Tour 2013".
Beginning on June 14, 2013, they co-headlined with Polkadot Cadaver on their "Last Call in
Jonestown 2013 Tour" with openers Exotic Animal Petting Zoo.[35] In September 2013 One-Eyed Doll
embarked on a full US Halloween tour as direct support for Mushroomhead.
Towards the end of 2017, One-Eyed Doll embarked on the "Something Wicked World Tour", which
included dates in the US and their first appearances in Europe, performing in the United Kingdom,
Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, the Czech Republic and Austria. [36]
