Todd Rundgren to produce New York Dolls' new album

Rundgren to reunite with band 36 years after producing their debut

Todd Rundgren, who produced New York Dolls' 1973 self-titled debut album, is set to reunite with the band and produce their next.

Rundgren will hit the studio with founding New York Dolls members David Johansen and Sylvain Sylvain in January to record the album, which is as-yet untitled. The band will follow the release of the LP with a world tour.

The album will be released on the newly-relaunched Atco label through Warners.

"We're really excited to be working with Todd again," frontman Johansen said in a statement. "We're hoping to recapture the same magic on the forthcoming album [that was on the debut]."

Rundgren, meanwhile, plays his own live dates at Norwich Waterfront (November 22) and London Forum (23).
