The two sisters Tanja Pippi and Angy Lord founded the band in March 2003 in Rimbach (Odenwald) , Hesse . After a few local appearances, the band was finally signed by the Berlin record label Louisville Records . On November 23, 2007 they released their debut album her.barium there .

In November 2011 they released their second album Walrus , which was co-produced by Hans Unstern and Dirk von Lowtzow , on the Berlin record label Staatsakt . The video for the song Try , created by Jolly Goods themselves, was nominated for the MuVi Prize of the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen in 2012 and won the 3rd prize.

style

Initially the band played garage rock in the style of the grunge movement and the so-called riot grrrls . In the second album but the music was "significantly heavier, denser, more accentuated," as Christoph Dorner in his review for Laut.de writes. This is mainly due to the influence of producer Dirk von Lowtzow, who designs a similar sound with his band Tocotronic . There were also new influences. Some songs process elements of folk rock , dream pop and noise . Comparisons with bands like Portishead , The Raincoats , Scout Niblett and Sleater-Kinney were also drawn in the review.
