THE NEW YORK DOLLS - TRASH
Trash, wont pick it up
Take them lights away
Trash, wont pick it up
Dont take your life away
Trash, dont try to take my life away
And please dontcha ask me if I love you
(Lyrics)
These guys were the real reckless deal. Before Punk Rock even had a name these guys were the New York City scene. They snarled, wore makeup, were cross gender friendly, ugly, tough and they were doing all of this before KISS.
Sid Vicious, of the Sex Pistols, adored these guys. So did Morrissey of the Smiths. Morrissey was the president of the New York Dolls fanclub in Manchster England at age 14. And all of this gained the attention of Malcom McLaren who was looking for a band to manage. McLaren was really interested in fabricating a band of his own in England that were even more outrageous than the Dolls. The American rock scene soured on the Dolls after Malcom had them dress up like communists and drape the hammer and sickle flag over the backdrop of their stage show. The band fell apart on its own shortly after. Malcom hopped the pond back to England to begin his version of Punk Rock with Vivienne Westwood, (fashion designer and artist).
Dolls guitarist, Johnny Thunders, would delve further into Heroin. Frontman, David Johanson would still crank out loud rock music with , "Live it Up" and appear on the Uncle Floyd Show. His other incarnation, and one of his best, was Dexter Poindexter and his hit song, "Hot Hot Hot". After that he appeared in a few movies over the years in, "Let It Ride" with Richard Dryfus and "Car 54 Where Are You?".
The band has reformed. Minus Thunders, (he OD'd). The Dolls also spawned some imitators, most notably, The Trash Brats in Detroit. The New York Dolls have appeared on the IFC network on The Henry Rollins Show.
