MUSIC NEWS - One of the original punk/glam bands,The New York Dolls are still at it and continue their comeback with a new live album and shows in October and in December (08). The group, formed over 35 years ago, is scheduled to appear October 28 on "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson," (NBC) and then to play an October 29 gig in Ventura, CA. They also have December shows in Los Angeles (20th) and New York (27th). This Dolls' lineup features two members of the original group; frontman David Johansen and guitarist Sylvain Sylvain , joined by guitarist Steve Conte, Sami Yaffa (bass), Brian Delaney (drums) and Brian Koonin (keyboards). Founding member Arthur "Killer" Kane died in 2005 shortly after their initial reunion (see Kane in the documentary, New York Doll ). "It won't be very long that we'll be together longer than the original band was," Johansen joked in a press release. The original Dolls' lineup held together only two years after the band's self-titled debut album, then split up when co-founders Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan left in 1975.
The band's latest release, a live cd, "Live at the Fillmore East ," is available from Sony Music. The 10-track set was recorded December '07 at the Fillmore New York (Irving Plaza) and features a mix of classic Dolls tracks and a selection of songs from the group's 2006 reunion album, "One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This ." "One Day It Will Please Us..." (Roadrunner Records) was recorded last year with producer Jack Douglas (Aerosmith, Cheap Trick) behind the boards. And, a 45-minute "making of" DVD; "On the Lip," which documents the Dolls' comeback effort and recording sessions, was included with early pressings of the album. Several clips from the video can still be viewed at the band's website .
