New York Dolls Record New Studio Album

After reuniting last year for the first time in decades – pioneer rockers the New York Dolls have signed a new deal with Roadrunner - and are working on their first studio album since 1974’s “Too Much Too Soon.”

The new album is expected to be released next spring and is being recorded by the two surviving members of the original band, David Johansen and Sylvain Sylvain. They will be backed by guitarist Steve Conte, bassist Sami Yaffa, drummer Brian Delaney and keyboardist Brian Koonin.

Roadrunner A&R executive David Bason told Billboard.com: “Since word has spread of the band getting back into the studio to record new material, I’ve been inundated with calls from various high-profile producers and artists wanting to get involved…I can’t reveal any names yet but it’s nice to have such a vote of confidence from the artistic community out of the gate.”

He continued: “The sound of this record will be true to form New York Dolls – down and dirty rock’n’roll. I’ve heard sketches of the material and if it’s any indication, the record will blow you away.”

Well you’re not going to tell us it’s shite now are you Bason?!
