Tonight Tonight in Music: The New York Dolls, the Clicks

Posted by on Wed, May 27, 2009 at 9:00 AM

David Schmader suggests tonight's show with the New York Dolls at El Corazon in Up & Coming:

New York Dolls, the Clicks

(El Corazón) The reunited-and-touring New York Dolls contain but two of the band's original members: lead singer and conceptualist David Johansen and surviving guitarist Sylvain Sylvain, joined by a band of guys you don't know. But as anyone who bothered to listen to the band's excellent 2006 release One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This was shocked to discover, the new New York Dolls are of a perfect spiritual and conceptual piece with the old New York Dolls, bone-deep freaks wrestling with big questions in the funnest way they know how. Tonight's show is in support of the Dolls' just-released record, 'Cause I Sez So. DAVID SCHMADER

If only I was on the same continent and could attend! I am dying to know, will they risk breaking a hip and wear platforms? Hmmm.

What about the upcoming Germs show, minus Darby Crash?
Bands minus too many members = not the band

NY Dolls were great at Bumbershoot. The new guitarist learned all of Johnny Thunder's riffs exactly but isn't strung out. The original Germs were notoriously horrible live. The originals with their actor-singer will no doubt be great too.
