Lolita is the newest addition to the San Francisco psychedelic/garage scene.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
So far, there isn't very much. Nikki (guitar, vocals) moved home to San Francisco after a two year stint in Philly playing with the Trauma Queens. He joined up with longtime friend/on and off bandmate Rachel (keys), and Chauntelle (Drums), formerly of Western.
