| the dresden dolls are an american musical duo from boston, massachusetts. formed in 2001, the group consists of amanda palmer (vocals, piano) and brian viglione (drums, guitar, back-up vocals). 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. |
