Can you think of a better way to say “I La-la-love you”? Actually… we very well may have. Just check out our Valentine’s Day Gift Guide below and don’t tell us that giving your special someone a GG Allin bobblehead or a Suicide tee doesn’t just say it all?

Saturday night’s alright… when you’ve got the New York Dolls playing in your neighborhood.

For the month of March, our New York Dolls album, Lipstick Killers, is $5 on Amazon MP3!

About Lipstick Killers: This archive tape re-writes history. The Dolls, with original drummer Billy Murcia, were only four and a half months old when these nine tracks were cut in a Manhattan studio one night during the summer of 1972. “Lipstick Killers” captures the nascent Dolls at a fascinating and yet vulnerable juncture. Sylvain Sylvain and Johnny Thunders’ guitars perform a six-string demolition derby and big mouth David Johansen barks like an angry wounded dog. “Killer” Kane and Murcia beat the songs into a bloody pulp.”- David Fricke, Melody Maker
