THE DRESDEN DOLLS

 

'A 19th century approach to piano-driven music paired with a damned-if-you-don’t cacophony of words’  - Parklifedc.com

 

Amanda Palmer and Brian Viglione first united as The Dresden Dolls in 2000 and immediately made an impact with their ingenious punk cabaret and darkly original song craft and visceral no-holds-barred live shows. Blending performance art with an array of sonic and lyrical influences, the duo reaped global attention for creating a uniquely cathartic, often confrontational sound and vision all their own. 

 

Two acclaimed studio albums – 2003’s self-titled debut and 2006’s YES, VIRGINIA… – earned critical praise, hailing The Dresden Dolls’ distinctive work as both deeply unsettling yet remarkably accessible. The duo went on an indefinite creative hiatus in 2008 but reconvened two years later for a series of tours spanning North America, Oceania, and Mexico; Palmer and Viglione reconvened once again in 2016 for the biggest live shows of their influential career, culminating with The Dresden Dolls Live At Coney Island, a spectacular six-camera webcast livestreamed around the world from the new Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island Boardwalk.
