New York Dolls Headline
UK Festival
The legendary
proto-punk heroes, The New York Dolls, will be hitting Merton Farm for
an exclusive HEADLINE slot at a UK Festival this Summer in the midst of
a European jaunt taking them to some of the biggest stages in the
world.
And we're absolutely
delighted...
Formed
in the early ‘70s, The New York Dolls are one of the most influential
bands of all time, laying the groundwork for the punk revolution of the
mid 70s. They provided the template, and bucket-loads of inspiration,
for bands across the globe, from The Sex Pistols and The Clash to Kiss
and Mötley Crüe and even The Smiths.
Famed for their
extravagant and raucous performances, David Johansen, Sylvain Sylvain
and crew are set to plough through the old classics like "Trash" and
"Jet Boy", as well as new material from their recent ‘One Day It Will
Please Us to Remember Even This’ album, which is sure to blow the straw
from your ears.
On Friday night the
“tribute” bands are playing -- these will include No Future (Sex
Pistols) Tribute Band; and Blondee, the UK’s finest (Blondie) tribute
band.
Definitely one of the best tribute acts in Kent, if not the
country, Blondee have promised to pack as many massive hits into their
LOTF slot as they possibly can.
NO FUTURE Set To Play On FRIDAY
No Future
The whole event
takes place over 3 days and hosts 160 great bands.
