The Dresden Dolls - Girl Anchronism

After a suggestion from someone on a message board, I recently checked out The Dresden Dolls and I have quickly become enamoured. Their burlesque style is frantic and whirling. They've been descibed as "cabaret punk" which probably comes from growing up studying classical and jazz, but also being influenced by Black Flag and The Cure. They were scheduled to tour with Lollapalooza this summer, which would have been a great opportunity for the rest of the country to experience their mad stage act, but since it's been cancelled, it looks like the great North East will keep this little secret in their backpocket for a little while longer. Let's hope it's not too long.
