Tickets still remain for The Cliks show on Wednesday. The Cliks open for the New York Dolls tomorrow May 27 at El Corazon. The Cliks are the first transgender band to be signed by a major record label and have an incredible story.
It’s remarkable that something so good can come from feeling so bad. As is the case of most great art, Toronto trio the Cliks have dredged the emotional mire of the past two years to create Dirty King, a rich rock extravaganza showcasing a sonic expansion for the band. With music as textured and layered as the deeply varied emotional terrain it treads, feeling bad never sounded so good.
Composed from a place of deep turmoil, lead singer Lucas Silveira began work on the Cliks’ second album following the highly successful tours behind sophomore release Snakehouse. The band’s incendiary live shows became the calling card by which they were known, and in short order, musical heroes Ian Astbury of the Cult and Cyndi Lauper hand-picked the band for their respective tours.

And of course, The New York Dolls have been around for decades.
The Advocate Magazine says…
The New York Dolls—a cross-dressing rock band who were glam and punk before punk even existed—are back, led once again by David Johansen. Music, he still believes, should be “campy and sexy and fun.”
