The B-Side

For anyone who was bummed out by the cancellation of the New York Dolls' show last November at the Stone Pony, the proto-punk pioneers have got a present for you: the band has rescheduled the show for Feb. 21. The show, which was postponed due to renovations at the historic Asbury Park club, will serve as a 10th anniversary party for the Electric Ballroom on WRAT-FM (95.9) and will also feature performances by Blue Scarlet Coup -- a band whose lineup includes Joe and Alex Bouchard of Blue Oyster Cult, Dennis Dunaway of the Alice Cooper Group and Mountain's Richie Scarlet -- as well as Frankenstein 3000 and Tuff Darts.

36 years after proto-punk pioneers New York Dolls paired with producer Todd Rundgren to craft their self-titled debut album -- a disc with undeniable impact that can still be felt today -- the Dolls and Rundgren have joined forces once again for "‘Cause I Sez So," due to be released May 5 on Atco.
