Filed under: Potent Quotables "I don't really like to sit around the house listening to my own records. They're not that good." -- David Johansen In a shocking, some might say refreshing, display of rock star modesty, the New York Dolls frontman reveals his insecurity. "I'm afraid of me," he adds . "Sometimes when I hear my voice on tape, I'm like, 'Who is that horrible man?'" Next Quote

Notre soirée Cold War Nightlife au Salon Officiel en est maintenant à sa troisième édition. Pour poursuivre la tradition du post pré- dancefloor , nous avons décidé de vous offrir une nouvelle sélection de titres disparates mais ô combien sympathiques. Cette fois-ci, place au côté glam se l'événement avec trois morceaux pailletés. Pour commencer, revoici les New York Dolls . La performance électrisante du groupe lors de leur concert à Montréal le 29 juin dernier nous a fait replonger dans leur matériel des années 1970. Les plus [...]
Ya jadi buat kalian yang belum nonton, silahkan cari cari di tempat dvd bajakan, atau yang ngga level beli dvd bajakan, silahkan tungguin sampe masuk bioskop (estimasi perkiraan saya, berkaca dari keterlambatan film yang masuk ke Indonesia, taun 2012 baru ada di Indonesia). Nih sebagian bocoran lagu yang masuk ke film-nya. Endjoi!. The Replacements – Bastards of Young (fyi, lagu ini adanya pas banget banget di awal film, amazing lah. Jadi kronologisnya, begitu pencet play, langsung keluar lagu ini. Wow isn't it?). Lou Reed - Satellite of Love [...]
Si vous cherchiez une définition de glam-punk... Les New York Dolls en concert au Club 82, le très fameux club de drag queens de la 4ème avenue à New York, interprétant "Chattered", extrait de Too Much Too Soon (1974) avec Johnny Thunders au chant et à la guitare. </font [...]

Recommended Show: MONDAY, JUNE 22, 2009 NEW YORK DOLLS @ MUSIC HALL OF WILLIAMSBURG 66 N 6th St Brooklyn, NY 11211 $35, 8PM Yeah, the show is a little expensive, but let's face it, the New York Dolls are a legend at this point. Don't worry if that is breaking you budget, there are plenty of other (cheaper) shows going on in NYC tonight.

While Sami Yaffa might not be a household name, it certainly should be. He's definitely got one of the more impressive rock 'n' roll resumes on the planet...he's played in Hanoi Rocks and currently plays in New York Dolls...he's shared the stage with Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan. Sami was cool enough to take time out of his schedule to answer a few questions for the site. The story he shares about Thunders and Nolan is well worth the price of admission alone. Heh. [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive Although Cliks frontman Lucas Silveira was only three years old when the New York Dolls broke up (circa 1975), the two groups have more than a few similarities between them. The Dolls were one of the first rock bands to play with androgyny on and off stage. That said, even though their gender play was always evident, the main focus and appeal of the seminal Seventies band remained squarely centered on the music itself. Sitting down to talk on the [...]
Too many good shows Friday to name, but we'll hit up the highlights. If you don't see live music in Austin on Friday, I'm not sure we can be friends anymore. Really. Bonnie Prince Billy , Howling Hex @ The Mohawk - Tickets Animal Collectiv e DJ Set @ Waterloo Records @ 5 PM - Free Animal Collective, Black Dice @ Stubbs - [...]
Like its predecessor ( One Day It Will Please Us To Remember Even This ), the second album by the post-reformation New York Dolls in large respects misses the point of the band. With Todd Rundgren on production duties, their debut LP was a masterstroke in electrifying proto punk. Even with him back at the helm, their sound now feels faded and clinical. But for the two remaining original members it certainly is a good payback for the years of underground sales and popular cover versions but no paycheques. Whilst this album is unquestionably Dolls, with [...]
As you've likely noticed by now, the monthly "Sup In ..." post has become less of a list of what I'm doing, and more of a list of what I would do if I were you. The shows that I plan to attend tend not to see the light of day more often than not, and it seems that each month showcases a show or two that I end up going to as more of a spur of a moment type of thing. June is going to be busy with this year's NXNE festival in full force which I'm obviously [...]
![upcoming in june [week 1]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1763732_lg.jpg)
According to my iPhone calendar, June is going to be a busy month for DFW live-music-fans. Nearly every day of June has a dot in its box, each dot representing at least one show that I deem calendar-worthy, which means that I'm going to need a new job and, by July, a new liver. We will keep you updated throughout the month on the live shows that we give our WTD stamp of approval. To kick us off, the first week of June is fucking monumental. Stare in awe below. 6/1 Mr. Lif @ The Loft [...]
Sometimes the best way to defy expectations is to lower them drastically. Vulture Whale - Head Turner (mp3) ( buy ) So when I tell you there's this rock band from Alabama called Vulture Whale ( myspace ) that has released not one, but two albums called Vulture Whale , I should not tell you that their latest record (that would be Vulture Whale ) is one of the most consistently enjoyable I've heard this year. Because "Vulture Whale," yeesh. I [...]

Sure, the dead band members outnumber the living ones at this point, and David Johansen seemed more than a little tired, and Sylvain Sylvain has nearly morphed into a combination of Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman. But to their everlasting artistic credit, they insisted on playing half a set of newish material, and that new material was 100% damned good. A few songs sounded a bit like the sweet street-tough material from David Johansen's solo career, but even tighter and poppier, a little more Lou Reed than Shadow Morton. And they even made sure to evoke their dead brethren [...]
Revenons aujourd'hui à l'une de nos premières passions, à savoir le glam rock , avec la parution du dernier disque des New York Dolls . Oui oui, vous avez bien lu. La légendaire formation, autrefois fondée en 1971 et dissoute six ans plus tard, s'était en effet reformée en 2004 et, dans la foulée, avait fait paraître One Day It Will Please Us To Remember Even This. Il apparaît maintenant que cette réunion inespérée est visiblement faite pour durer : les paillettes du nouvel album Coz I Sez So le prouvent bien - notez [...]
The New York Dolls are rollin into town tomorrow night here in P-Town. It has been said that this band's influence helped bring in the era of both punk rock and heavy metal. "Their drug-fueled, shambolic performances influenced a generation of musicians in New York and London, who all went on to form punk bands. And although they self-destructed quickly, the band's two albums remained two of the most popular cult records in rock & roll history". This band was truelly a New York band. All of the members of the New York Dolls played in New York bands before [...]
I was a bit worried that the New York Dolls' performance would fall flat now that they may be a bit fossilized, but the opposite was the case. They really impressed the large crowd at The Fonda. They were a joy to listen to and photograph—young bands should take note.
