Following hot on the heels of the bands rapturously received winter UK Tour and the critically acclaimed Todd Rundgren produced studio album 'Cause I Sez So', the legendary New York Dolls will return to the UK next month for a special one-off concert at London's KOKO as part of their forthcoming European tour.
The New York Dolls consist of David Johansen (vocals); Sylvain Sylvain (guitar); Steve Conte (guitar); Brian Delaney (drums); and former Hanoi Rocks bass guitarist Sami Yaffa.
The New York Dolls originally swaggered onto the New York music scene in the early ’70s, influencing a generation with its subversive mix of high-decibel rock and high-heeled androgyny. The original band recorded two seminal albums – the eponymous debut New York Dolls (1973) and Too Much Too Soon (1974), before calling it a day in 1977.
The surviving members reformed the group in 2004 to much acclaim, but soon lost bassist Arthur Kane to leukaemia. In 2006, Johansen and Sylvain reunited again and recorded the NY Dolls’ third studio album, One Day It Will Please Us To Remember Even This.
