A CLASSIC PAIRING REUNITES 36 YEARS LATER
Yes, the boy wonder and the boys who taught boys they could dress like girls and still rock are together again. The surviving members of the New York Dolls and legendary producer Todd Rundgren are reuniting for the first time in almost 36 years. Rundgren, who produced the band's eponymous 1973 debut, which included the classics "Personality Crisis" "Trash" and "Looking For A Kiss," will start work on the new album at his studio on the island of Kauai, Hawaii. Production with founding Dolls David Johansen and Sylvain Sylvain is scheduled to start in January 2009.
"We're really excited to be working with Todd again," says Johansen. "We're hoping to recapture the same magic."
The album, which is yet untitled, will be released on the Atco label through Warner Brothers. The Atco label has been specially re-launched for this project.
The Dolls will follow the release of the new album with a world tour in 2009. And anyone who's seen the Dolls in the past couple years can attest to their renewed, free swinging swagger, on full display in this performance from Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.
