The Arthur 'Killer' Kane movie 'New York Doll' has finally been released in the UK, and I saw it at the Odeon Panton Street (on Saturday April 15th) near Leicester Square at the weekend. What a heartbreaking yet simultaneously uplifting film. For anyone who ever loved The Dolls it's a must, and sadly now Arthur has gone to the Valley beyond to join Billy, Johnny and Jerry the world will be a poorer place without him. A truly excellent film. www.southendpunk.com/html/arthurkm.htmlwww.newyorkdollmovie.com |

UK based New York Dolls lovers will be able to see the New York Doll film on Friday, March 2nd on BBC4 at 21:00.
It's followed by a one hour recording of a John Cale concert too, so it promises to be a superb evening.

Glitter, stardust in dull, camp form. Hero are you out there, or are you just a shadow?

I thought this a really excellent documentary that really allowed Arthur 'Killer' Kane to tell his own story and had insightful contributions from those who knew him. It even showed his fellow Mormons (of whom I had doubts) to have loved and supported him. The best bit was when he and David Johanson met up after many, many years - this for me was the most touching aspect. What a shame he died without doing anymore planed reunions, but at least he got his request to play in his band and to build bridges. Do watch if on again, I would!

I recorded it but, annoyingly, most of it didn't have sound! From what I saw (and the little I heard) I agree and will catch the re-run to check what I missed. Did anyone see the documentary on the New York music scene the other night (also on BBC4)? There was some brilliant early b&w footage of the Dolls, Ramones, Blondie, etc. It was called something like the "The Birth of Disco, Hip Hop and punk" so may have been easy to miss if you were just skimming the listings.
