NEW YORK DOLLS Return May 5, Listen to New Tunes Now

      MUSIC NEWS - After working together on the New York Dolls' influential debut in 1973, the group reunited with producer Todd Rundgren this winter to record their fourth studio album, 'Cause I Sez So, set for a May 5 release on Atco Records. And, Rhino and MNN want you to join the party with a free listen to the album's first six tracks (see link below)!

Recorded at Todd's Utopia Sound Studio in Hawaii, the album features 11 original compositions and a new version of "Trash," which was on their 1973 debut album. "It was amazing working with Todd again, and I think we were able to evoke the special sound of our first album and drag it by the hair into the present," says frontman David Johansen. The New York Dolls swaggered onto the New York City music scene in the early '70s, influencing a generation with its subversive mix of high-decibel rock and high-heeled androgyny. The original band recorded a pair of milestone records -- New York Dolls (1973) and Too Much Too Soon (1974) -- before breaking up in 1977. The surviving members reformed the group in 2004 to much acclaim, but then sadly lost bassist Arthur Kane to leukemia. Two years later, Johansen and Sylvain reunited again to record the New York Dolls' third studio album, One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This.
