The Dresden Dolls are my Big Musical Discovery(tm) of the past twelve months. They are hands-down the most intriguing live act going, not to mention unbelievable musicians (Brian Viglione is one of the top three best drummers I have *ever* seen), and their "punk cabaret" has to be experienced to be believed. If they are coming anywhere near you, I hereby exhort you in no uncertain terms to do whatever you can to be there. 11.30.04 Tuesday Pop & Glow @ English Theatre Frankfurt, GER 12.01.04 Wednesday La Laiterie Strassbourg, FR 12.02.04 Thursday Tours Tours, France 12.03.04 Friday Paard Van Troje Den Haag, NL 12.04.04 Saturday Breekmolen - NEW VENUE Antwerp, BEL 12.07.04 Tuesday Cargo London, UK 12.08.04 Wednesday Life Cafe Manchester, UK 12.09.04 Thursday Medicine Bar Birmingham, UK 12.13.04 Monday Kings Arms Auckland, NZ 12.15.04 Wednesday The Zoo Brisbane, AUS 12.16.04 Thursday Annadale Hotel Sydney, AUS 12.17.04 Friday Ding Dong Lounge Melbourne, AUS They will also be in San Diego on New Year's Eve, and Lawrence, KS on Jan 1 (I hope whoever does their tour routing is getting soundly beaten about the head for that one).
