about
After the breakup of the New York Dolls, bassist Arthur Killer Kane formed this short lived band along with former Dolls touring guitarist Blackie Lawless (credited as Blackie Goozeman) on vocals, Andy Jay on lead guitar, and Jimi Image on drums. They released one single "Mr. Cool" with three songs: "Long Haired Woman", "Don't Need You", and "Mr. Cool." ... which would later reappear as the W.A.S.P. track "Cries In The Night", leading to a lawsuit between Kane and Blackie. Although the single never made it into the mainstream circuit, it is often widely regarded as influential on many upcoming artists around the time. Another lost classic and missing link between the glam rock and punk era, Killer Kane Band formed its embryonic state during the New York Dolls ill-fated 1975 tour in Florida when Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan split and headed back to NYC, leaving the band in a desperate grasp for fill-in members, resulting in bass played Arthur Kane’s call up to his old friend Blackie Goozeman, from his days growing up in the Bronx, to fill Thunders’ spot on the remaining dates. The two decided to head to Los Angeles after the tour, as the Dolls days were numbered at that point, so they enlisted guitarist Andy Jay from the Motor City Bad Boys and drummer Jimi Image, and set out to conquer the LA club scene with their gritty Alice Cooper-styled proto-punk sound. Rubbing elbows with such netherworld luminaries as the Berlin Brats, Hollywood Stars and Ron Asheton’s New Order,
