FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

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
