They are the true inventors of punk: the New York Dolls. A scandalous troop setting wild garage rock with provoking cross dressing to music, who had Malcolm McLaren as their manager, consumed tons of alcohol and drugs, and recorded two real classics: "New York Dollsβ (1973) and "Too much too soonβ (1974). Records that influenced whole generations, levelling the way for the Stooges, Sex Pistols and Ramones but that they never saw a penny for. But now, 30 years after their split, the last original members - David Johansen and Sylvain Sylvain - want to know it: together with four new members, they recorded 13 songs convincing not only by the guest stars, such as Michael Stipe (REM), Iggy Pop, and Bo Diddley but also by their dirty, down-to-earth mix of boogie woogie, sleaze, emotional ballads and pure blues and with sawing guitar licks in best Keith Richards-way!
