NEW YORK DOLLS RELEASE ALBUM TUESDAY

The New York Dolls will release their first new material since 1974 with One Day It Will Please Us To Remember Even This. Keywords: David Johansen, Sylvain S…

New York Dolls are readying the release of their new album, One Day It Will Please Us To Remember Even This, and the band has released “Dance Like A Monkey” as the album’s first single. It’s the band’s first release of new music since 1974’s Too Much, Too Soon.

The album title is a mouthful, but vocalist David Johansen talked about the origin of the name.

“Two-hundred BC, one of the halitocian poets… Well because it’s true. It’s true. A lot of people will look at the times and look at the world and go, ‘Oh God. We’re going to hell in a handbasket,’ then in ten years they’ll be saying ‘Boy those were the good ol’ days.’ That’s essentially what it means.”

The New York Dolls are set for an in-store appearance in New York City this week at Tower Records in the village, and they’ve also got an appearance lined up at Los Angeles, California’s Sunset Strip Tower Records. The New York Dolls reunion was spurred on by Morrissey, who persuaded the band to reunite for a few U.K. festivals last year.
