Dresden Dolls

The Dresden Dolls are about to kick off a tour (with Panic! at the Disco) that starts with Bonnaroo and ends with Lollapalooza. They’re playing Nokia Theatre in NYC on June 28 and 29. Along the way they’ll be presenting separate shows billed as “A Night of Short Films and Dadaist Vaudeville with a special performance from Amanda Palmer“.

Amanda should be busy – some of the Vaudeville shows are on the same night as Dresden Dolls shows. The NYC Vaudeville show is at The Brooklyn Lyceum on June 28th (one of the same nights they’re playing Nokia). All dates below….

CELLULOID VAUDEVILLE
“A program consisting of short films selected from submissions by the Dolls feverishly creative fan base will be peppered with thought provoking vaudeville antics in cities across America. Amanda Palmer herself will cap off the night in typical piano-destroying fashion, singing songs culled from popular and not-so-popular film soundtracks (expect John Hughes, Pink Floyd AND Disney Classics. Deep Throat? Oklahoma? She’s still working on it).

Curated by long-time collaborator and indie film-iconoclast Michael Pope (director of the band’s award-winning videos and live DVD), and BriAnna Olson (producer of the band’s music video ‘Sing’) these film shorts are a mixture of high art, humor, sexiness and downright weirdness. Including never-before-seen band documentary footage and amazing fan-made music videos inspired by and set to the music of The Dresden Dolls, this program is a celebration of true underground filmmaking.”

RIP BEN CHAPPEL
I just thought I’d take this opportunity to throw this small memorial to Ben in here. I didn’t really know him – I met him once briefly. He was a blogger friend of blogger friends. He wrote the “Music Picks” column at Gothamist after Coolfer and before me. He was very close with Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls. She memorialized him in her journal.
