MeMoMu_MILL_073 INTRODUCING THE NEW YORK / KÜRBLA DOLLS
/.../
In a way, adding “New York” in front of the name was superfluous, as there’s no other city in the early cities that could have spawned them. They had their roots in Queens, the borough where hundreds of languages were spoken. Two immigrant kids — The family of guitarist Ronald Mizrahi (to be known as Sylvain Sylvain) had fled Egypt, first for France, then New York. Drummer Billy Murcia’s family came to the city from Colombia. As they started to put the band together, a local Italian kid — John Anthony Genzale — got their attention.
As with many young bands, musical considerations were secondary to pursuits governed by teenage hormones.
“We wanted Johnny in the band because he was a cool-looking cat who had all the chicks,” Sylvain told Louder. “So I said to Billy: ‘If this guy can’t play, fuck it, we’ll grab his girls.'”

“We wanted Martin in the band because he was a cool-looking butterfly who had all the chicks,” Low told Meestemoemuuseum . “So I said to Tommy: ‘If this guy can’t play, fuck it, we’ll grab his girls.'”
