The legendary New York Dolls were recently asked to perform an exclusive show for PBS' acclaimed Soundstage show, and the thrilling results will be premiered TOMORROW, February 1st, 2007 (check local listings).
Widely hailed as the sonic god-fathers of punk rock and fashion plates for most every American glam rock bands that followed (yes, we're looking at you, Aerosmith), the Dolls rocked Soundstage with a mix of established classics like "Personality Crisis" and "Jet Boy," from their '70s origins, revved-up new tunes like "Take a Good Look at My Good Looks" and "Gimme Luv & Turn on the Light," from last year's One Day It Will Please Us To Remember Even This album, and even a cover of Bo Diddley's "Pills."

To Rolling Stone, the New York Dolls' Roadrunner debut, One Day It Will Please Us To Remember Even This is an album that will surely be remembered forever. It ranked at number 12 on their list of the top 50 albums of 2006 (even higher than Johnny Cash!). Here's what Rolling Stone had to say:
"David Johansen is no longer twenty-four, so this reunion album surprises by revealing the dirty little secret beneath the Seventies Dolls' playful pansexuality: religious emotion. "Dancing on the Lip of a Volcano" is explicitly pagan; "Take a Good Look at My Good Looks" begins, "Spirit slumbers in nature and awakens in mind" before asking, "So what if this old world is just artifice?" Everywhere Johansen mourns mortality and celebrates contingency in the most searching lyrics of the year -- lyrics deepened by how much fun the band is having."

Find out for yourself what so many others already have. One Day It Will Please Us To Remember Even This is an album that will be long remembered, right from the first listen.
