I'm sorry...canker-blossom? Do I know you???
I do owe you lunch. I was actually thinking next week, after I get paid. Doubt I can do a long lunch, but then again, I have an interview tomorrow, so by next week I might not care anymore.

Don't believe I've heard of them. How many original members are still in the band?

I think 3.
I saw them on tour last year with TBA and Special Guest. Best triple bill of 2004.
-
I want to go, but its a Wednesday night and Wednesday night is mountain bike night.... I am hoping they go on after 10 so I can do both.
-
Were you among the large contingent of mountain bikers racing in Wakefield Park yesterday?

I didn't even know there was a race there yesterday. I know there are a couple of Wednesday night race series there, but I dont really like to race.
Although I do have two races coming up. I'd ask for all y'all to come and cheer me on, but they are not local.
-
Yes, there was. I was marvelling at how well marked the trails were, until I saw a large pack of bikers gathered at a start/finish line, and signs about certain trails being used for races from 8 am-2 pm.

I'm DJing for this one :D
So is it poor form to spin Johnny Thunders at a Dolls show? And there will be NO Buster Poindexter, gotten draw the line somewhere.
-
at this juncture Tsar have been added to the bill....
-
7:30 Doors
8:15 - 9:00 Tsar
9:30 - 11:00 New York Dolls
-
Thank you, Shad...All these wisenheimers and still no answer to the poor guy's question. Waiting 'til after noon the day of the show is a pain in the butt if you're the logistics manager for a car load of concert-pals. Now I'm feeling like someone's in charge.... :D

Only two surviving members, David Johansen and Syl Sylvain. Arthur Kane, Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan are dead.
-
So err, is anyone going to this show?
There has been too much rain for mountain biking and the wifey does not seem to have any interest in going.
-
I think I might check it out. Although I'm scared of David Johansen. He looks like he just stepped off the "Appetite for Destruction" cover.

Tsar is opening??? Damnit, I love them. But $35...for an opener (I know, I can stay for NY Dolls...but I'd really be paying $35 for Tsar....).
dammit dammit dammit
-
and some guy named DJ Wren he must be worth at least five dollars...
-
Lemme say that I feel blessed :) . After getting the e-mail, I wasn't sure that I was gonna be able to stay for all of the Dolls (I need to be on the 11:44 Metro out of there), but now I can rest happily.
Despite that I'm brand new to the Forums, I love you Shadrach.

He kinda looks like John Cage in that pic.

In case anybody was coming down for Tsar, they are not going to be able to make the show.
-
Are the Dolls still playing at 9:30 PM then?
-
yup
-
Sorry that TSAR couldn't make it.
Any word why?
They would be a fun Black Cat band.
-
uh hopefully eddie will login me off so as to prevent anymore lulu/markie confusions....
once again the one foot in the grave rockers put a whole bunch of wannabies in thier place... even spied canker moshing away near the front.
-
When I saw them earlier in B/more they just seemed geninely happy to be playing and that energy translates to the crowd. The replacements they chose to fill the shoes of the fallen ones were well done.Glad to have them back at it.It's definitely no parody.People criticize coz they don't look so young anymore.They're still at it and age does that to all humans lucky enough to live that long.

sammy fuckin' yaffa of hanoi rocks on bass! dude is actually better than arthur kane.
yet another dinosaur surprise tonight. david johanson may look old as shit but he's kept in great shape (like the ig) and was a great frontman tonight. the dolls played everything i wanted to hear, and much better than i expected. tight rhythm section and searing leads. awesome shangri-la's cover.
stones > dolls > pistols > guns 'n' roses
-
I was going to go last night but couldn't due to a last minute crisis. Saw 'em last year in NY and they were a blast. I know it would be a fun time....too bad I couldn't make it.
Was it sold out? If not, how full?
-
not soldout don't know what the final count was but the floor was pretty full... an interesting mix of old fans, fans like myself who were too young to experience the band, and some teenagers who understood the band's importance.
Setlist on it's way....
Anyone here actually see Johnny Thunders? A buddy saw him in Detroit at point in the 80s and he was already in pretty bad shape.
The new drummer is actually a bit of a local boy, playing in of all groups The Getaway Car as well as Buster Poindexter.
The new guitar player is in a NYC band called The Crown Jewels http://www.crownjewelsnyc.com/ (http://www.crownjewelsnyc.com/)
The keyboard player appears to be a NYC session musician...
-
Good size crowd, my guess about 600, but the way everything was set up it seemed like a very respectable turnout. "Vietnamese Baby" rocked even harder than the record in my opinion. The only disappointment was the flat drumming on "Looking For a Kiss", which started the show off, but after that it pretty much rocked. By the end of "Jet Boy" and "Human Being" it was clear that Sylvain Sylvain ain't no slouch on guitar...maybe he was channeling Johnny Thunders. All in all, a VERY good performance. I'd go see them again.

nice but very pricey merch, suprised canker didn't leave with the footie jersey... was tempted by the belt buckle which is available for a lot less online (http://www.jsrdirect.com/index.asp?Group=NYD)

Showing up just before show time meant I barely got a glance at the merchandise. That being said, I've just added at least one item to my Christmas list. That belt buckle rules.

Thanks to nkotbabaoreilly for dragging me out at the last minute. Great time. Those guys have chops!

"sammy fuckin' yaffa of hanoi rocks on bass! dude is actually better than arthur kane."
Sami is a great great great bass player. I have mad undying love for Hanoi and learned as many of his bass lines as I could when I was getting started playing. Probably my biggest single influence as a bass player.
And I had no clue he was playing with the Dolls.
I am very sad now that I missed that show.
-
i had a feeling the Pharmacist might have this reaction ;)
-
My coffee cup is filed with tears of regret.
I am listening to Sami play on a song called "Village Girl"
Sob.....
..you look like a village girl to me.....
Sniffle.....
-
forgive me i didn't get enough sleep last night so stuff is coming in bits and bobs....
with regarding the shredding comment, how sweet is a little dual les paul geetair action
-
That was a pretty amazing concert. I will say that when I got there (maybe 7:40 or so?), I think that there were about 15 other people inside. I was just a little surprised.
I also really liked their cover of Piece of My Heart. Since I actually only own their self-titled CD, I was very happy with their song selection. I did miss Showdown and Stranded in the Jungle, though :( .
But yeah...a very good concert.
-
the good news is they are recording a new album which will hopefully lead to more tour dates in the future...

Proto-Punk Flashback: New York Dolls Return
Friday, August 12, 2005; C08
The Washington Post
It is now officially permitted for defunct cult-rock bands to reunite, provided that they meet a few requirements: They must have split before artistic fatigue set in, they must return at the behest of an esteemed peer or fan, and they must be able to muster a quorum of original members.
The New York Dolls narrowly met those requirements when Morrissey summoned them to play London's Meltdown festival last year, but no longer do: Original bassist Arthur Kane has died, following guitarist Johnny Thunders and drummers Jerry Nolan and Billy Murcia. That left just singer David Johansen and guitarist Sylvain Sylvain to lead the band now billed as the New York Dolls into the 9:30 club, where they performed with surprising authority Wednesday night.
Purists may well object, but this edition of the Dolls was more than a simulation of the early-'70s original. Indeed, some of the current lineup -- notably bassist Sam Yaffa, late of Hanoi Rocks, and guitarist Steve Conti -- were more reliable than their antecedents. Johansen pranced almost as lustily as he did 30 years ago, the backing vocals were endearingly sloppy, and the guitars (and unnecessary keyboards) melded to create a thicket of overtones that was a proto-punk flashback all by itself.
The set list largely followed the "Live From Royal Festival Hall, 2004" album, emphasizing songs from the group's first album and including an elegiac verse of Thunders's post-Dolls "You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory." The Dolls had to play "Personality Crisis" and "Trash," but they also demonstrated their flair for diverse covers. There was a Shangri-Las tune, of course, as well as a full-throated version of "Piece of My Heart," originally recorded by Erma Franklin but widely associated with Janis Joplin. The Dolls may not look quite so androgynous as they once did, but Johansen once again proved himself glitter rock's top almost-female belter.

I've seen him a couple times.
Good enough show but not the best and not Glammed out like the Dolls. Closer to what the Punks and other NY trend-setters were into at the time.
But your buddy was right.
