Thanks for posting this!
It's definitly a record I am looking forward to and for once I have a good feeling about it too... don't usually have that with these reunion records, but my gut tells me the Dolls might be able to pull it off
Good to see they're using a quality producer.
From NME:
New York Dolls head into studio
The band will record in January
New York Dolls are to head back into the studio to record their first album of new material in over 30 years.
On January 15, the band will enter a hometown recording facility with Jack Douglas - producer of albums by Aerosmith, John Lennon, Cheap Trick and New York Dolls themselves.
The album will feature their first entirely new output since 1974's 'Too Much Too Soon'.
Singer David Johansen said: "Everything feels right. We're excited to get back into the studio to record what we feel are the strongest tracks of our careers."
According to the band's label, Roadrunner Records, tracks expected to feature on the LP include 'Punishing World', 'Plenty Of Music' and 'Rainbow Store'.
Following their reformation last year at the insistence of Morrissey, the New York Dolls line-up now features original members Johansen and guitarist Syl Sylvain with Steve Conte (guitar), Sami Yaffa (bass), Brian Delaney (drums) and Brian Koonin (keyboards).
Former bass player Arthur 'Killer' Kane passed away in 2004.
The new album from New York Dolls is scheduled for a summer release next year.

I still don't know about this. "The best record of our careers"??? Well, since this band comprises of two Dolls, and Sami, I think those are some HUGE words there. I'm hoping it will do respect to those people's past bands. Not expecting the world here.
"Hometown recording studio"? Heh, who's hometown?
If it is as good as they were when they rolled through Vancity, It will be great. They were were awesome live. I was totally surprised how good they were when I saw them a few months back.

I'm sure that they are great doing the old material, but to say that the new stuff is better than the old NY Dolls material, and even possibly including the Hanoi Sami years (stuff that IMO blows NY Dolls out of the water), well, that is a BOLD statement. I understand that every band will claim the new material is always the strongest, but when you only have two living members of a band as influential as the Dolls were, I'll hold my reservations. Now, with that being said, I will be buying this on the day it is released. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
