NEW YORK DOLLS Are Hoping For Profit With Upcoming CD

July 12, 2006

Gelu Sulugiuc of Reuters recently spoke to the NEW YORK DOLLS about their upcoming third album, "One Day It Will Please Us To Remember Even This", due on July 25 via Roadrunner. It will be the first DOLLS album since 1974's sophomore effort "Too Much Too Soon".

"I got a nice check once when GUNS N' ROSES sang one of my songs, but that's about it," singer David Johansen told Reuters in an interview at the band's new recording company's offices.

While Johansen spent the better part of three decades playing bit parts in movies and singing as his alter ego Buster Poindexter, guitarist Sylvain Sylvain had it much rougher, at one point even driving a cab in the 1980s to make ends meet.

"My royalties last year maybe came up to like $3,000," he said. "So I hope this time I get paid, so I can pay my rent."
