Lawy Lawson:Attorney Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 I searched the forums and have only seen one other poster mention them in the "Best of 2004" thread. Who am I talking about?The Dresden Dolls. The last new band that I actually feel excited about, that actually give me that little butterfly-feeling in my stomach I haven't felt about music since my mid 'teens.In some ways, they defy everything that's populatr right now. They shun guitars for nowt but piano and drums, they have a definte image but it's influenced by German cabert rather than any off-shoot of punk or metal (although argubly, they're a bit goth, I guess) but even so, they have a sense of humour and can't help but make each other laugh and have fun whilst playing live. Their music ranges from musical pastiche (The Jeep Song) to thrash-piano (Girl Anachorism) and they are completely and utterly fucking awesome.I know guitar based music is the big thing right now, but these guys really, really deserve people's attention. Anyone here see them on their current tour?They're supporting NIN on their next tour so perhaps that could be their breakthrough. I always kinda expected The Faint to go stellar and that never happened, so I could be wrong (again) but I'm bursting with enthusiasm about this band.

qzdiablo Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 it's weird cos people on slsk were sharing two different albums on slsk with the same songs on iteither way, i thought the one i dled was pretty dullbut i liked "girl anachronism" and "coin-operated boy" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen B Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Who couldn't like Coin Operated Boy it's perfection. I dl'd the album but intend to buy when funds allow me to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingin' Ryan Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 I've been meaning to investigate them. Anyone who dresses like Weimar Burlesque dancers deserves my attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please.If I have my dates correct then the only appearance I shall be making this Saturday will be one of drunken attempting-to-seduce-Dave standards for this is the weekend of THE REAL PUB CRAWL.Hopefully I'll have gone home by then mind.

Lawy Lawson:Attorney Posted February 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 They're apparently doing a larger UK tour before the summer...With possibly Edinburgh AND Glasgow on their schedule. The drummer said they'd look into playing whereever they're asked if feasible if people e-mail them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
