About

Luke Haines released his album about the 1970's Rock n Roll scene in New York City on Cherry Red on 26 May 2014. "New York In The '70s" is "a mythical re-imagining of a long gone age, by a man who hails from Surrey, Southern UK". "New York In The '70s" is the third and final part of a psychedelic trilogy that began with 2011's "9 1/2 Psychedelic Meditations on British Wrestling of the 1970s and Early '80s" and continued with 2013's "Rock And Roll Animals". "New York In The '70s" is mythic re-imagining of the New York Rock n Roll scene (1972-1979). "New York In The '70s" is for the real rock n roll animal. "New York In The '70s" is for the Kaballistic order of OM AKA The Real Dead Boy, comprising of Alan Ginsberg, Jim Carroll, Stiv Bater, Johnny Thunders and Sid Viciou, who were holding an invocation, on 213 Park Avenue South. "New York In The '70s" is for a gigantic mythical naked man on a Dorset Chalkhill who awakens from thousand year kip. Chico, a messenger bird, is speaking in tongues and whispering a poem into the naked dude's chalky ear: "Oh Little Johnny Jewel, He's so cool, He has no decision, He just trying to sell a vision”. Chico (something of a savant, bless) is reciting the lyrics to Television's seismic year zeroin classic Little Johnny Jewel. "He's just trying to sell a vision,” repeats the messenger bird. With an ancient rumble, the naked dude stands up to reveal his true height of 180 ft. Track list.... 1. Alan Vega Says 2. Drone City 3. NY In The '70s 4. Jim Carroll 5. Tricks N Kicks N Drugs 6.
