The New York Dolls and record producer Todd Rundgren have been reunited for the first time in 36 years.  Rundgren will produce the New York Dolls‘ new album at his studio on the island of Kauai.  Production is scheduled to start in January 2009.

“We’re really excited to be working with Todd again,” says David Johansen. “We’re hoping to recapture the same magic on the forthcoming album.”

The album, which is yet untitled, will be released on the Atco label through Warner Brothers.  The Atco label has been specially re-launched.  The band will follow the release of the new album with a world tour in 2009.

Make sure you catch the New York Dolls holiday show with our friends the Dirty Pearls in New York City. Get your tickets now before they sell out. We will be there to report on all the debauchery and replace the bottle of vodka we drank. Mainly because we are upstanding gentleman who occasionally like hookers, strippers, and Perry Como.
