Walter Lure

When Jerry Nolan and Johnny Thunders quit the New York Dolls in 1975 they got ex-Television bassist Richard Hell to start a new band, adding Walter Lure on guitar. And so the Heartbreakers are born. With Billy Rath replacing Hell when he started the Voivoids they relocated to London where they join the Sex Pistols on their aborted 1976 tour and released the “Chinese Rocks” single before putting out their debut album, L.A.M.F. on which Walter wrote/co-wrote some of the finest Heartbreakers tunes. Walter Lure is also known for The Waldos, whose 1995 album "Rent party" was produced by Andy Shernoff (of The Dictators). A legendary figure of the New York punk rock scene, this is a VERY rare trip outside of the NYC area!
