History
The band formed shortly after Brian Viglione witnessed Amanda Palmer performing a solo set at a Halloween party. They found a loyal cult following through the efforts of their dramatic live performances. During these performances the two band members wear make-up and clothing that combines a cabaret, goth, mime look. They encourage fans to become involved at their shows through The Brigade, which is a loose group of performers, networked through the Internet, that range from performance artist to theatrical performers that participate at Dresden Dolls shows.
The name, according to Palmer, was "inspired by a combination of things", including the firebombing of Dresden, Germany; the porcelain dolls which were a hallmark of prewar Dresden industry; an early song of the same name by The Fall; and a reference to the V.C. Andrews novel Flowers in the Attic (where the aesthetically pleasing protagonists are called "the Dresden dolls"), while evoking Weimar Germany and its cabaret culture. Additionally, she "liked the parallel between Dresden (destruction) and Dolls (innocence, delicacy), because it is very much in keeping with the dynamics of the music, which sometimes goes from a childlike whisper to a banshee scream within a few seconds."
The band was featured in a webcast performance at the 2002 Ig Nobel Prize ceremony in Cambridge, Massachusetts. After a self-produced demo, their first release was the mostly live compilation A Is for Accident. This was followed in 2004 by a self-titled debut produced by Martin Bisi (Swans, Sonic Youth). Two songs off the album showed highly in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2004, with "Girl Anachronism at #30 and "Coin-Operated Boy" at #12.
On October 6, 2005 The Dresden Dolls were interviewed by the subject of one of their songs, Christopher Lydon, on the radio show Open Source[1].
In March 2005, they supported Nine Inch Nails on tour. On June 5, 2005, The Dresden Dolls hosted a free concert at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston. When a power outage unexpectedly delayed their performance, city streets became a temporary stage for some of the many performers (living statues, stilt-walkers, and fire-breathers) who had come from across the world to entertain audiences. The day and concert were filmed, and the resulting DVD, Paradise, was released on November 22, 2005.[2]
The Dresden Dolls latest album, Yes, Virginia, was released on April 18, 2006.[3]. In 2006, the band performed at South by Southwest and was scheduled to perform at Bonnaroo, and in Britain's Reading and Leeds Festivals.
A musical featuring songs from Dresden Dolls albums has been announced recently. It is called The Clockwork Waltz and runs August 17-20 (2006).
