TRASH! The Complete New York Dolls
Kris Needs and Dick Porter During
the first half of the 1970s, The New York Dolls established a
hard-earned reputation as the last word in rock‘n’roll hedonism,
leaving a trail of magnificent destruction in their wake. Combining the
attitude of the Rolling Stones, Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent with the
romanticism of 1960s girl groups like the Shangri-Las and Crystals, The
Dolls formulated the unlikely template for punk rock. Trash!
recounts the full drug-fuelled story of the band, from their origins
amidst the street gangs of New York’s outer boroughs, through to their
contemporary re-birth and the recent death of bassist Arthur Kane.
Featuring a wealth of original interview material, the complete saga of
the band is presented in all its sleaze-encrusted glory. ISBN 0 85965 369 2 ISBN13
