The New York Dolls are a glam rock group formed in New York City in 1971.
They found little success during their initial run, but the New York Dolls prefigured much of what was to come in the punk rock era and even later; the Dolls’ over-the-top crossdressing influenced the look of many glam metal groups, especially that of early Mötley Crüe, and their shambling, sloppy but highly energetic playing style set the tone for many later rock and roll bands.
Chrissie Hynde once commented that every punk band (“And I knew them all”) had both New York Dolls albums, illustrating the Dolls’ influence.
In 2004, the three surviving members reunited for some work. In 2006, now down to two surviving members, the band released a new album.

Accessibility
The HMV Forum takes the needs of disabled customers very seriously and actively encourages people of all abilities to attend the events scheduled at the Venue. Though built in the 1930s, the building has been modernized to allow Wheelchair access via front of house to the Disabled platform in Downstairs Standing area (please note there is no direct backstage disabled access).
Due to Licensing and Health & Safety Assessments, we regret the number of wheelchairs that we can admit to the building is limited. In order to ensure that all disabled patrons to the HMV Forum are adequately catered for, we request that prior to booking all disabled customers contact the Venue (info@kentishtownforum.com, 020 7428 4099) in advance of ticket purchase to explain the nature of the disability and check space availability for Wheelchair users.
On the evening of an event, we do advise disabled customers to arrive at the Venue 15 minutes prior to Doors, ideally accompanied by a companion Over 18 years old who will be admitted free of charge.
The Free companion ticket is available to patrons that are registered disabled. The ticket to be paid for needs to be booked in advance.
Please email info@kentishtownforum.com or phone 020 7428 4099 for specific requests, enquiries or comments regarding access/personal needs and a member of our team will endeavour to accommodate such requirements.
