'Don't live life worrying about it, just T. Rex the s*** 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
