New York Dolls Intimate Show
Jul 29th
Punk pioneers New York Dolls have announced details of a one off show in Newcastle later this year.
New York Dolls may have been a commercial failure during their initial stab at rock glory, but the band have gone on to enjoy an enormous influence. The pre-punk hellraisers embodies the sleazy glamour of rock ‘n’ roll, and went on to inspire Malcolm McLaren when he was dealing with The Sex Pistols.
Reforming back in 2004, the band have enjoyed a remarkable second life. Now clean, New York Dolls have toured widely bringing their music to a new generation – some of whom weren’t even born when they released their classic debut album.
The band have recorded new material, and played an extensive British tour last year. The group forged close attachment with the country during the 70s, at one point living in London when attempting to record new material.
Clearly enjoying a close association with ol’ Blighty, New York Dolls have now confirmed an intimate new show.
Taking place in Newcastle on September 4th, New York Dolls will perform in the tiny pub venue The Cluny. The band will play songs from throughout their career, from those defining early recordings to the recent album ‘Cause I Sez So’.
Produced by Todd Rundgren, the material is a tough, modern addition to their seminal career. Containing several original members, New York Dolls now line up with: David Johansen (vocals) and Sylvain Sylvain (guitar, vocals), plus Steve Conte (guitar), Sami Yaffa (bass) and Brian Delaney (drums).
Tickets for The Cluny show will go on sale soon, with fans able to purchase them on a first come first served basis.

Zac Efron Says ‘Charlie St. Cloud’ Is Not ‘Sappy’
Jul 29th
‘[Director Burr Steers] doesn’t do sappy, you know what I mean? Burr is very grounded,’ actor says of his new movie.

Zac Efron’s new movie “Charlie St. Cloud,” out Friday, is certainly a far cry from his shiny, sugar-coated “High School Musical” trilogy. But judging from the film’s trailers, there are some similarities to a few other recent films with an emotional/romantic theme, namely “Dear John,” “Remember Me” and “The Last Song.” When MTV News spoke with Efron, we asked him why this film is different, and how the story toes the line between sappy and sentimental.
“I didn’t think it was going to be sappy,” Efron said. “Because [director Burr Steers] doesn’t do sappy, you know what I mean? Burr is very grounded. He is all about story and dialogue and plot and all about real.”
Efron added that Steers, whom he also worked with on “17 Again,” will quickly put the kibosh on superficiality if he sees it in an actor’s performance. “If he sees [superficial] acting, he would come in and just, psshhhhh [He pantomimes an explosion with his hands]. So I’ve really had to trust him with that. And we all do, we all did. And you know, it turned out right.”
The 22-year-old went on to say that he doesn’t think “Charlie St. Cloud” gets too sentimental. “But at the same time, I wanted to make sure the audience got what they needed from it,” he said. “Hopefully they are fulfilled and leave asking some cool questions.”
It will be interesting to see how well fans receive Efron in his “St. Cloud” role, especially since it was recently announced that Efron has been pegged to star in “The Lucky One,” the film adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’ novel about an American marine who credits his survival in the Iraq War to a photograph of a woman he’s never met. “Lucky One” adds to the already lengthy list of projects to which Efron is reportedly attached.
What do you think of Efron taking on different, more grown-up roles? Will you go to see “Charlie St. Cloud” and “The Lucky One”? Tell us in the comments.
Check out everything we’ve got on “Charlie St. Cloud.”
