New York Dolls were an American rock band formed in New York City in 1971. Along with the Velvet Underground and the Stooges, they were one of the first bands of the early punk rock scenes.[4] Although the band never achieved much commercial success and their original line-up fell apart quickly, the band's first two albums—New York Dolls (1973) and Too Much Too Soon (1974)—became among the most popular cult records in rock.[1] The line-up at this time consisted of vocalist David Johansen, guitarist Johnny Thunders, bassist Arthur Kane, guitarist and pianist Sylvain Sylvain, and drummer Jerry Nolan; the latter two had replaced Rick Rivets and Billy Murcia, respectively, in 1972.[5] On stage, they donned an androgynous wardrobe, wearing high heels, eccentric hats, satin,[6] makeup, spandex, and dresses.[8] Nolan described the group in 1974 as "the Dead End Kids of today". Sex, Sex & More Sex “It’s torture, yet compulsive.” – Kerrang! Too Much Too Soon is the definitive story of the most outrageous glam rock band of them all – The New York Dolls. The Dolls, peddling trans-gender posturing and incendiary rock ‘n’ roll, were dumped by the record business after making just two albums.

The result is the ultimate saga of unrepentant rock ‘n’ roll debauchery. Up and Down in P The New York Dolls was a rock group formed in New York City in 1971, now famous as a proto-punk band. Though they found limited success during their initial run, the New York Dolls prefigured much of what was to come in the punk rock era, particularly among other NYC bands such as the Ramones. And, even later; the Dolls' over-the-top crossdressing and sexual tone influenced the look of many glam metal groups, especially that of early Mötley Crüe and Poison, and their shambling and sloppy but highly energetic playing style set the tone for many later rock n roll bands. Their self-titled album was an underground sensation, particularly with smooth 70s easy listening ruling the airwaves back then. Chrissie Hynde once commented that every punk band ("And I knew them all") had both New York Dolls albums, illustrating the Dolls' influence. Still, the original line-up experienced many problems, particularly with the mainstream record industry that didn't know what to do with the wild group. Upon their break-up, frontman David Johansen had a moderately successf
