The Dresden Dolls



The Dresden Doll's most recent and breathtaking album, Yes Virginia, is like listening to a broadway performance. Take it as you will, any way you can, and you will have a fully imagined story. Even individual songs have got it.

The two members of The Dresden Dolls joined together when Brian Viglione, the male member of the band, saw Amanda Palmer perform as a solo artist at a Halloween party in 2001.

Since then, they've soared. Fans can't get enough of the duo's dramatic makeup and clothing style- fancy and dramatic like that of a theatre performance- and the instrumentals and story lines of every single album and song. It's not every day that you get taken back to days of cabaret. The Dresden Dolls are a perfect example of modern artists putting all their effort into what they live for: the music.
