Johansen To Play Dolls Songs
David Johansen, whose early-'70s glam-rock band the New York Dolls
influenced a burgeoning punk-rock movement, will revisit some Dolls material in a New
York club date on Jan. 27. Johansen will sing Dolls and David Johansen Band material
during his two 45-minute sets at Manny's Car Wash, a blues bar, according to club
booker Buddy Fox. In recent years, Johansen presaged the swing movement in his
Buster Poindexter guise. He'll be backed at the Manny's Car Wash gig by
David Keyes, who's played with him in the Latin-influenced Buster's
Spanish Rocketship.
