MULTIPLE EVENTS SCHEDULED IN  NEW YORK CITY  FOR
bALL DOLLED UPb, BOB GRUENbS  DEFINITIVE DOCUMENTARY  ON
THE NEW YORK DOLLS
Throughout  December, there will be several events in New York City to
celebrate and promote Music  Video Distributorbs December 6th release of
bAll
Dolled Upb on DVD. In the early 70's, Rock  photographer Bob Gruen and his
wife
Nadya shot over 40 hours of New York  Dolls footage. At this point, the Dolls
were at the height of their fame and  had inadvertently invented punk before
there was a name for it. Their  androgynous drug-fueled performances
influenced a
generation of musicians in  New York and London, who all went on to form punk
bands.  Although they self-destructed quickly, the band's two albums remained
two of the  most popular cult records in rock & roll history.
Now for the first time ever, this  band is exposed in its raw entirety. The
feature length documentary, All  Dolled Up, follows the band from their early
performances in New York at such clubs as Kenny's Castaways, and Max's  Kansas
City. It  also documents their West Coast tour and includes footage from the
Whisky-A-Go-Go, the Real Don Steele Show, Rodney Bingenheimer's E Club, and
more. Inter cut with  revealing interviews, backstage banter, and late night
debauchery, All  Dolled Up is THE definitive document of the New York Dolls.
Dec 6th     Max's Kansas  City 40th Anniversary  Party
This is a Charitable Auction and  Reunion Party at the Historic Hit Factory
Studios (421 West 54th  Street). There will be a room for "All Dolled Up" at
this event, where a trailer of the film will be played continuously and an
auction for signed DVDs and merchandise will be conducted. This will be to
benefit The Maxbs Kansas City Project, a non profit organization serving the
arts
and NYC area youth. _www.maxskansascity.org_
