Biography
Biography Timeline
Billy Murcia and Sylvain Sylvain both attended Quintano’s School for Young Professionals, in the late sixties. It was at Quintano’s that they met Johnny Thunders, also a student there. They made their musical debut in 1967, in a band called “The Pox”. They owned and co-managed a clothing business called “Truth and Soul”. Murcia was a fundamental ingredient of the original New York Dolls sound and played during their now-legendary series of weekly shows at the Mercer Arts Center.
While on a brief tour of England in 1972, Murcia was invited to a party where he passed out from an accidental overdose. In an attempt to revive him he was put in a bathtub and force-fed coffee, which resulted in asphyxiation and death. He died before the New York Dolls recorded their first album and was later replaced by Jerry Nolan in 1973. The final gig of their tour, at the Manchester Hardrock, was canceled, and the band flew back to New York City. Murcia can be heard playing live with the New York Dolls on Lipstick Killers: The Mercer Street Sessions.
