In the illustrious history of rock 'n' roll, the New York Dolls stand out like a sequin-clad sore thumb. Their gender-bending, glam-tastic aesthetic and raw, unapologetic energy paved the way for countless punk and glam rock bands to come. And now, in a delightful blast from the past, the Dolls have released a fabulous new album, "French Kiss 74 + Actress - Birth Of The New York Dolls".
This album is a treasure trove of previously unreleased tracks, live recordings, and demos from the Dolls' early days, capturing the raw energy and unfiltered talent that made them legends. From the swaggering, proto-punk masterpiece "Personality Crisis" to the rollicking glam anthem "Trash", every track on this album is a reminder of why the New York Dolls were and will always be one of the coolest bands to ever strut their stuff on a stage.
But that's not all - as an added bonus, the album also features collaboration with the enigmatic Actress, adding a modern twist to the Dolls' timeless sound. With Actress's experimental electronic beats and ethereal vocals weaving through the Dolls' classic rock sound, "Birth Of The New York Dolls" is a thrilling journey through past and present, glam and grit.

About the artist
New York Dolls/Actress
NEW YORK DOLLS: The New York Dolls burst onto the scene in the early '70s like a glitterbomb exploding in the depths of the Lower East Side. With their flamboyant style, gender-bending antics, and raucous rock 'n' roll sound, they quickly became the pioneers of punk and glam rock. Fronted by the charismatic David Johansen and the guitar wizardry of Johnny Thunders, the Dolls' music was a high-voltage mix of catchy hooks, gritty lyrics, and rebellious attitude. Their self-titled debut album is a classic in every sense of the word, with anthems like "Personality Crisis" and "Trash" still packing a punch today. Despite their short-lived career, the New York Dolls left an indelible mark on the music industry, influencing everyone from The Sex Pistols to The Ramones. They may have burned out bright and fast, but their legacy continues to shine on, reminding us that sometimes it's better to burn out than to fade away. ACTRESS: Actress is the enigmatic producer who has been pushing the boundaries of electronic music since the early 2000s. Hailing from South London, Actress (real name Darren Cunningham) is known for his avant-garde approach to production, blending elements of techno, house, and experimental music to create a sound that is uniquely his own. His debut album, "Hazyville," was a game-changer in the underground electronic scene, with its glitchy beats, warped synths, and eerie atmospherics. Since then, Actress has continued to push the envelope with each release, crafting sonic landscapes that are at once dissonant and hypnotic. With his latest album, "Karma & Desire," Actress once again proves why he is one of the most innovative producers in the game. Featuring collaborations with artists like Sampha and Zsela, the album is a hypnotic journey through the heart of electronic music,
