[English]

Sylvain Sylvain is one of only two surviving members of the original New York Dolls, and in There’s No Bones in Ice Cream, his eye-opening, sincere and often hilarious account of the rise and fall of the Dolls, he reveals all about the group that flew so close to the sun that they exploded in a fireball, lighting the touch paper under punk rock.

'While we may not have sold many records nor racked up any hits, in terms of the stain that we left on the sheets, the New York Dolls were bigger than a lot of the people who did. Other people turned the New York Dolls into legends. We just went along for the ride'.

There’s No Bones in Ice Cream is an enthralling tale of rock excess that sheds an unforgiving light on the craziness of New York’s 1970s rock scene.

Rese�a del editor:

"Don't live life worrying about it, just T. Rex the shit out of it." - Sylvain Sylvain The New York Dolls were called many things; glam, proto-punk, hard rock, but are probably best understood as a "dirty rock & roll" band. Combining an aggressively androgynous style with street smart New York attitude and campy humour, the New York Dolls ushered in the era of CBGBs, heroin chic, loud guitars and referential lyrics which gave rise to Patti Smith, The Ramones, Television and many more. Fans of the band range from Guns N' Roses to Morrissey, who organised the reformation of the band when he curated Meltdown festival in 2004. Sylvain Sylvain was there from the start, and this is his story. Taking in his early life in New York, the rise, fall and rise again of the New York Dolls, and all his misadventures between, There's No Bones in Ice Cream is the true story of one of rock's greatest, told in his own authentic voice. "In any great band it's often The Quiet One who has the best stories. There's No Bones in Ice Cream would be a superb book even if Sylvain worked in a bank. As it is it's one of the best rock biographies ever. Ten out of ten" - Classic Rock
