us that early New York Dolls guitarist Rick Rivets (who's appeared in the Brats, Slugs, Corpse Grinders and recently M.F.U) is working on a new project. Sharing vocals with A.C. Dobak and featuring bassist Kenny Cruz and drummer (ex-Brats) Sparkey Donovan, the yet to be named band plans to record an album "in the Dolls/Heartbreakers style." The majority of the material will be revamped versions of unreleased Brats songs, either rewritten or differently arranged. A spring release is planned on Whiplash Records.
