The '''Doll Domination Tour''' is the second headlined [[concert tour]] by [[United States|American]] girl group [[The Pussycat Dolls]] to support their second studio album ''[[Doll Domination]]''. Select UK dates will feature American singer [[Ne-Yo]].


==Background==
{{Refimprove|date=May 2007}}
On [[July 31]] [[2008]], while promoting the album in Asia, the group announced that a tour in support of the album would begin in early 2009, visiting the U.S., Europe, Asia & Australia. Dates will be announced following the album's release.
'''Nicke Andersson''' (also known as '''Nicke Royale'''), born August 1, 1972 is a [[singer]], [[guitarist]], [[drummer]], [[songwriter]] and [[composer]] known for successfully creating music in a wide range of different genres. He has also done work as a [[producer]] as well as artwork for most the bands he has been involved with. Nicke is currently the lead singer/guitarist and songwriter of the [[Grammies]] award winning [[rock music|rock]] band The [[Hellacopters]], the drummer and songwriter in the soulband [[The Solution (band)|The Solution]] with [[Scott Morgan]] as well as the drummer, guitarist and songwriter in the [[deathmetal]] band [[Death Breath]]. To this day Nicke has been involved in well over a hundred different official releases with different bands.

==Early career as a drummer==
Nicke's interest began early in life with [[Kiss (band)|KISS]] as his favorite band and soon discovered his childhood friend and future band mate Kenny Håkanssons father's record collection and bands such as [[The Ramones]] and [[Sex Pistols]]. His interest soon turned towards heavier music, trading cassettes and vinyls and writing for [[fanzine]]s. It wasn't long before Nicke started playing music and was soon playing drums and guitars in rock and metalbands such as Brain Dead Bodies, The Breaking, Belsen Barnen, Parodi, Maximal Skandal, Sons of Satan, Blasphemy, [[Nihilist (band)|Nihilist]] and a number of other bands. When Nihlist broke up in 1990, Nicke went on and joined [[Entombed]] by answering an ad in Heavy Sound a record store in Stockholm. Nicke was predominantly the drummer in the band but also contributed with bass, guitars and vocals as well. Entombed took influences from many different genres but mostly from [[death metal]] in the band's first two albums [[Left Hand Path (album)|Left Hand Path]] and [[Clandestine (album)|Clandestine]]. With their third album the group started incorporating more traditional influences from [[hard rock]] and [[heavy metal]] and the album [[Wolverine Blues]] is widely considered to be the origin of [[Death 'n' roll]].

==The Hellacopters==
===The birth of The Hellacopters===
{{main|The Hellacopters}}
In late 1994, Nicke formed The Hellacopters as a sideproject together with [[Dregen]], Kenny Håkansson and Robert Eriksson, all of whom earlier had been [[roadies]] during Nicke's time in Entombed. In January of 1995 they relased their first single ''Killing Alan'' on their own label Psychout Records. Their first full length album [[Supershitty to the Max!]] was relased in 1996 and was recorded in 25 hours and later awarded with a [[Grammies|Grammy]]. The group recruited Andreas Lindström and supported [[Kiss (band)|KISS]] on their Scandinavian shows in 1997. The album was followed up the next year with [[Payin' the Dues]]. Due to the band's success, Nicke left Entombed to focus fulltime on his new band. However the next year guitarist Dregen left The Hellacopters to focus fulltime on his other band [[Backyard Babies]].

===The 'new' Hellacopters sound===
With their third record The Hellacopters changed the direction of their music to a more cleaner sound than the early garage/punk rock style. The band continued to tour with temporary replacements before [[Robert Dahlqvist|Robert 'Strings' Dahlqvist]] joined the band as their fulltime guitarist. The band countinued to release albums and tour extensively in Scandinavia, Europe and other parts of the world as well as opening up for [[The Rolling Stones]] on two shows in 2002. In 2006 The Hellacopters joined forces with [[The Hives]], [[Backyard Babies]], [[The Soundtrack of Our Lives]] and [[Millencolin]] and embarked on a successful tour throughout Sweden. In 2007 the band announced that they would be breaking up after the release of their 7th full length album 'Head off', a collection of cover songs which will be followed by a last tour through Europe and Scandinavia.

==Side projects and other collaborations==
===Supershit 666===
{{main|Supershit 666}}
In 1998 Nicke together with former bandmate [[Dregen]], Ginger (from [[The Wildhearts]]) and Thomas Skogsberg formed Supershit 666, the bands music was very reminiscent of the early Hellacopters sound. The band released a a self-titled EP in 1999 but never played live. Both Dregen and Ginger have expressed interest in playing together again.

===The Hydromatics & The Solution===
{{main|The Solution (band)}}
While on tour in USA with The Hellacopters, the band played several shows in the same venue as the former [[Sonic's Rendezvous Band]] singer Scott Morgan. This lead to the formation of The Hydromatics which went on to release their first and only record Part Unknown in 1999. Nicke and Scott teamed up once again in 2004 this time under the name The Solution to release ''Communicate'' which was followed up with ''Will Not Be Televised'' in 2007.

===Death Breath===
{{main|Death Breath}}
In 2005 [[Death Breath]] was formed by Nicke and Robert Pehrsson. Soon Scott Carlson and Erik Wallin joined, making the band's lineup complete. The band plays metalmusic inspired by some of Nicke's favorite early death metal bands such as [[Venom (band)|Venom]], [[Autopsy (band)|Autopsy]] and [[Celtic Frost]]. The band released ''Stinking up the Night'' in 2006 and ''Let it Stink'' in 2007.

===Other work===
After releasing "[[By the Grace of God]]", Nicke was invited to join [[Wayne Kramer (guitarist)|Wayne Kramer]] and the remaining members of the [[MC5]] for their reunion tour in 2003 and 2004. Nicke, along with fellow Hellacopter member Robert Dahlqvist, recorded drums and guitars for Swedish singer/songwriter [[Stefan Sundström]]s 2004 album Hjärtats melodi. Apart from being a producer/co-producer with his own bands, Nicke produced Swedish rockband Dollhouse's second album ''The Royal Rendezevous'' in Acetone Studio, Stockholm in late 2005. The next year he produced the [[Backyard Babies]] fifth studio album [[People Like People Like People Like Us]].

He gets it, you know, he understands how it all works together. So he's able to work with in the context of it and bring something to it."
