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...

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?

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...

This was sort of exciting…I got asked to write a bigger longer show preview for Philadelphia Weekly last week, on the New York Dolls show. Here it is:Too Much Too Late Rock critic Richard Meltzer never wrote anything funnier than his account of a mid-’70s food fight with the New York Dolls, David Johansen and Meltzer flinging handfuls of macaroni salad at one another at a Mercury party, leath

Free summer music doesn’t get much better than the Siren Festival, held every year on the boardwalk at Coney Island in the heat of summer and the roar of the cyclone. This year's edition, on July 21st, has a special poignance because developers have finally noticed that Coney Island is, duh, on the water, and are planning massive gentrification and upscaling that may quash things like Siren fr.
