The Dresden Dolls Tickets Continued
The Dresden Dolls found a loyal cult following through the efforts of their
dramatic live performances. During these performances the two band
members wear make-up and clothing that combines a cabaret, goth and mime
look. They encourage fans to become involved at their shows through The
Brigade, which is a loose group of performers, networked through the
Internet, that range from performance artist to theatrical performers
that participate at The Dresden Dolls' shows, encouraged by the band members
themselves.
The band's name, according to Palmer, was "inspired by a combination
of things", including the firebombing of Dresden, Germany, and the
porcelain dolls which were a hallmark of prewar Dresden industry.
Additionally, she "liked the parallel between Dresden (destruction) and
Dolls (innocence, delicacy)", because it is very much in keeping with the
dynamics of the music, which sometimes goes from a childlike whisper to a
banshee scream within a few seconds.
The Dresden Dolls had two songs represented highly in the Triple J
Hottest 100, 2004, with "Girl Anachronism" at #30 and "Coin-Operated Boy" at
#12.
