Following the release of their critically acclaimed Todd Rundgren produced studio album Cause I Sez So, their TV appearance on Later with Jools Holland, and a rapturously reviewed London 100 Club show which sold out in 4 minutes, the New York Dolls have announced six more concerts to their forthcoming UK visit in December 2009.
In addition to the London HMV Forum, the legendary Dolls will perform in Cambridge, Bristol, Southampton, Leamington Spa, Liverpool and Edinburgh!
As last year, I will not be able to attend the music lover’s paradise, South by Southwest, and will have to explore the roster of artists from the swivel chair in front of my laptop (if I spin around fast enough every so often, I can attempt to simulate the dizziness brought on by wanting to see so many bands at once).
2008 was a shit year for music.
With the economy falling down around us, the music industry continued to crumble under the pressure of the internet…falling down, down, down and barely even pulling in a cent (or so they would like you to believe). Bands inspired by the few cash cows we have left aped and copied their way through records. Folks were led to believe that a band like Fleet Foxes made a better, more lasting impression with their record then say someone like Deerhunter did.
