Andrew Collins sits in for Cerys Matthews and is joined by the original New York punk band, New York Dolls.

Andrew Collins sits in for Cerys all week. He's joined by the New York Dolls, the veteran glam-rock punks who reformed in 2004 are down to two original members, flamboyant singer David Johansen and guitarist Sylvain Sylvain since bassist Arthur Kane passed away in. New album Cause I Sez So, was released in May and saw the legendary band reuniting with producer Todd Rundgren. The punk pioneers a protopunk sound which prefigured much of what was to come in the punk rock era; their visual style influenced the look of many new wave and 1980s-era glam metal groups, and they began the local New York scene at CBGBs that later spawned the Ramones, Blondie, Television and Talking Heads.
