Helmed by drummer Brian Viglione and singer/songwriter/pianist Amanda Palmer, the punk cabaret duo The Dresden Dolls have attained legendary status with their darkly original song-craft and visceral, no-holds-barred live shows. Blending performance art and politics with an array of sonic and lyrical influences from The Doors and Black Sabbath to Lotte Lenya and Nina Simone, the pair reaped global attention for creating a uniquely cathartic sound and vision all their own. Three studio albums 2003's self-titled debut and 2006's YES, VIRGINIA..., and 2008's NO, VIRGINIA earned International critical praise, hailing The Dresden Dolls' distinctive work as both deeply unsettling yet remarkably accessible.
After a long needed hiatus and countless solo and side-projects later (Viglione drummed for NIN and Violent Femmes; Palmer wrote a best-selling book and broke crowdfunding records), The Dresden Dolls are back at work and slowly building towards the creation of their fourth studio album and their first full global tour in almost two decades.

Dresden Dolls, you are: riveting, astonishing, unique, magical, poignant, bizarre, intense, vulnerable, hilarious. I was transfixed.
Spectacular performance for the hometown crowd. It was funny, well put-together. They sounded great! I was on the floor and despite the Wilbur partitioning up the floor (my only complaint), it felt really intimate. They were obviously having fun and so were we. Pretty much what you expect from The Dresden Dolls. This one, however, was more intimate than the 2008 winter tour. I think it was just the energy. Spectacular theatricality, they fulfilled their promise to us. It was wicked cool. I'm so glad they're touring again!
seats could have been a bit more comfortable but it was worth the discomfort for a good show
