Brighter Dark Cabaret.
First off, you need to bear in mind that this is a compilation album, made up of songs that have previously been written, but have not been included on any other release by the Dresden Dolls. So surely, they aren’t as good as the songs that were actually picked for album release. You [...]
I've never actually listened to the Dresden Dolls, but I do like how they get all dressed up as part of their act. I remember a year or two ago, they played at the Paradise Rock Club near BU and there was a huge crowd of fans dressed up as well. It's always cool when you really love a band and can really get into their performances.I wiki'ed them since I don't know much about them and learned two things. First, they're from Boston - which gives them +12 to their coolness factor. And then there's this little tidbit:They describe their style as "Brechtian punk cabaret", a phrase invented by Palmer because she was "terrified" that the press would invent a name that "would involve the word gothic," and are part of an underground dark cabaret movement that started gaining momentum in the early 1990s.So tickets go on sale tomorrow, 11/10 at noon EST at Ticketmaster. They're concert is going to be at the Orpheum Theatre on Dec 29, 2007 (7:30 PM).As usual, log on at 11:55am tom
