Who needs commercial success, anyway? At least not in the Big Apple
during the early-1970s - long before Manhattan became a millionaire's
enclave and most of Brooklyn out-priced normal people. The New York
Dolls certainly didn't seem to mind that their rowdy and raucous take on
rock 'n' roll, somewhere between The Who in full meltdown mode and
Jimmy Hendrix and the seedlings of punk, didn't capture mainstream
imaginations when they first started out.
Through countless lineup iterations things would slowly and slightly
change, with the band's first two LPs considered two of the most sought
after releases in cult guitar-dom (The New York Dolls and Too Much Too
Soon). Actress predates all that, taking its name from the outfit the
Dolls grew out of, but the blueprint for critical recognition is clear
already - part psychedelic, party sweat and blood and tears, part lager
and fighting, all befitting one of modern history's most hedonistic
eras.
