The Suicide Dolls continue to scurry up the vine of Rock Success like relentless (but fun) spiders. It's been months since the hometown band appeared locally; they've been busy up and down the East Coast, spreading the infectious musical word.

See them Saturday in New London's Oasis Pub, headlining a great bill that includes local post-punkers Estrogen and Tonic, along with Boston's pychedelic experimentalists Ghost Box Orchestra and Brooklyn's electro-dance act Thick Voltage.

Of note about the Dolls: they've been selected to appear on a tribute compilation honoring the soundtrack to the film "Repo Man." They're in good company. Other acts chosen include Black Francis, Matthew Sweet and Mike Watt.

Suicide Dolls, Estrogen and Tonic, Ghost Box Orchestra and Thick Voltage, 9 p.m. Saturday, Oasis Pub, 16 Bank St., New London; $5; (860) 447-3929.
