This time around, two remaining Dolls David Johansen and Sylvain Sylvain (bassist Arthur Ka...

2 months ago

THE NEW YORK DOLLSCause I Sez So (2009)A few tracks, like the title tune, carry on in the Dolls' gloriously trashy tradition, though, as you can clearly hear, producer Todd Rundgren gives the sonics a 90s rock band sheen. Understandable when it comes to reaching radio, but still a shock to the system when it comes to what one expects, or more accurately wants, from the New York Dolls. Still, th...

Book Review: The New York Dolls: Photographs by Bob Gruen
9 months ago

A punk rock coffee table book sounds like an oxymoron; one of the most dangerous, confrontational, aggressive genres of music being something to look over with tea from your friends at church? If Bob Gruen's New York Dolls Photographs is on any coffee tables, some would say, it should be next to tea laced with PCP or with syringes and broken, bloodied guitar strings in place of crumpets and toa...

Not much of a writer here, but was so blown away at how good the Dolls played last nite in Boston I had to share.

I don't remember the exact order of the setlist, but they opened with Puss N Boots, Human Being and closed with Personality Crisis. They played all but 2 off of the first ...

This Is Ridiculous
2 months ago

Most of this CD does not perhaps sound as you would expect the Dolls to sound, but that don't make it bad.I like this bluesy tune. It sounds like it's being sung by Tom Waits, and has a swampy almost Bo Diddley beat, but played the way John Fogerty would play it.If that isn't a strange description, I don't know what is. But me not being real familiar with the old Dolls sound, that's what it fir...
