NEW YORK DOLLS: New Italian Concert Footage Available

July 28, 2008

Italian news blog Musica Metal has posted video footage (see below) of NEW YORK DOLLS performing the classic BO DIDDLEY song "Pills" on July 24, 2008 in Bergamo, Italy. Watch the clip below. According to Musica Metal, the band was in top form, playing for over 100 minutes and trying to connect with the audience by speaking Italian, with guitarist Sylvain Sylvain often applauded for his speeches in between songs.

NEW YORK DOLLS released a new live album, entitled "Live at the Fillmore East", earlier in the year. The CD was recorded during a two-night stand at the New York venue in December.

"Live at the Fillmore East" is the second live album the band produced since its 2004 reunion. The initial shows yielded "Morrissey Presents: The Return of the New York Dolls" (Attack/Sanctuary). Founding bassist Arthur "Killer" Kane succumbed to pneumonia shortly after the original reunion.

NEW YORK DOLLS in 2006 marked their return after an extended hiatus with the critically acclaimed album "One Day It Will Please Us To Remember Even This", available on Roadrunner Records. The group has since parted ways with the label.

THE NEW YORK DOLLS consists of original members David Johansen (vocals) and Sylvain Sylvain (guitar) with Steve Conte (guitar),Sami Yaffa (bass),Brian Delaney (drums) and Brian Koonin (piano).
