The Dresden Dolls – Amanda Palmer and Brian Viglione – are celebrating their milestone 20th anniversary with the world premiere of The Dresden Dolls3 Return To Paradise, a never-before-seen concert film shot on November 6 during their now legendary 2017 three-night-stand at Boston, MA’s world renowned Paradise Rock Club celebrating the venue’s 40th anniversary concert season. The full-length performance will have its debut on Saturday, October 31. Fans can join The Dresden Dolls email list to get more information. The film will also be available for streaming and download.
“We are kinda sad,” say Palmer and Viglione. “As you may have heard, the Dresden Dolls were plotting a MAGNIFICENT world-wide comeback tour and album centered around our 20th anniversary, which is coming up on October 31, 2020. Yes…we met on Halloween night 20 years ago.
“WE ARE SO OLD AND WISE NOW.
“Since we weren’t able to plan our touring shows, and since we are separated by a vast ocean and a mean virus of doom, we thought deeply about what we could do to celebrate our 20th – with you – in style.
“So we decided to dust off some REALLY incredible footage from a show we filmed but never released – we were hanging onto it like gold – from our old stomping ground in Boston, MA. This show, The Dresden Dolls Return To Paradise, was filmed during our three special nights in November 2017, and the band is ON. FIRE.
“If you’re an old-school Dolls fan, you know that one of our seminal releases was a DVD called The Dresden Dolls In Paradise, shot at the same night club back 2005. If anything, the band has just gotten tighter, better, weirder, and more punk cabaret. These new nights at the Paradise were so special to us, and to our true-blue, old-school Boston fans. We played music like our lives depended on it, pounding the shit out of our instruments.
