THE FUCKING DRESDEN DOLLS!@!!! SUCKAS!
went to the bijou last night and saw the dresden dolls! the show started out w/the host (sxip shirey) playing some awesome stuff w/ a harmonica and some bells and random toys. it was amazing. aparently he's a circus music composer. it's fantastic.
next up was the red paintings. crazy, fucking, alice in wonderland loving autralians. beautiful stuff. geisha's and madhatter's, it just doesn't get much better...and then bam!!! it does...brian comes on stage and joins them in a rendition of the sex pistols - god save the queen! it was the most exciting thing eva!!!
then...things get chill for a while...we wait.
i pick up sxip's cd and get him to sign it for me. we bullshit about new england. i pick up the red paintings cd and a dresden dolls kabuki t. then i go back to waiting.
and then it happens.
sxip comes out and plays some crazy shit w/a fucked up mic stuck inside a flute. then he beckons amanda and brian to the stage. we all go crazy and amanda throws flowers at everyone. they play some stuff from the new album, and they place some stuff from the old. then out of nowhere brian grabs a guitar, amanda grabs a mic, and they start doing mein heir!!!! it was fucking fabulous! then they start playing two headed boy and a guitar string breaks. they play some more from the set while they wait for it to be fixed so they can finish the song. the guitar returns. they start playing two headed boy again. another guitar string breaks. aparently there's no more set stuff to do for the time being...so they play black sabbath's war pigs. fucking phenominal!!!! they play more stuff! the guitar comes back and they succesffully play two headed boy all the way thru. they say one more song...then apparently amanda decides that brian wants to play pierre! cutest song in the world, i might add! and brian is just fucking adorable! then they play truce and leave the stage.
aww....soooo....we scream. a lot! they come back w/trash from the red paintings and play mad worlds. then trash goes away and they play half jack and girl anachronism. then to the lobby for autographs.
a heartwarming smile from amanda and a firm handshake from brian while i get to share a few words with them and they sign my ticket stub. i then depart and pass by trash on the way out and he signs the red paintings cd.
all in all? A FUCKING UNBELIEVABLE NIGHT!~
