Formed in Boston in 2000 after a chance meeting at a Halloween party, Amanda Palmer and Brian Viglione quickly established The Dresden Dolls as a singular force in the underground music and art scene. Their fusion of theatricality, punk energy, and cabaret sensibility helped define the ?punk cabaret? genre. In 2003, the band won the prestigious WBCN Rock & Roll Rumble and released their self-titled debut album, featuring enduring songs such as ?Coin-Operated Boy? and ?Girl Anachronism,? the latter later featured on the HBO series Weeds. A support slot with Nine Inch Nails in 2005 helped propel their international profile.
There is a delivery delay on all orders until approximately one week prior to the show. This show will be taking place inside the Shed.
