I remember seeing Regina Spektor open for the Dresden Dolls when we went with an Olin crew (of course I can’t remember if it was Boston or Providence and their show history page isn’t helping — probably sometime in 2005 though). Amanda had this amazing stage presence in getting everyone to be quiet for Ms Spektor, and the contrast between spektor’s then-mostly-spoken-word-inspired style and the Dolls’ significantly more punk aesthetic knit delightfully well.

Amanda’s been doing her own thing for so long I thought dresden dolls were a done deal — I’m glad they’re doing this tour, even if it turns out to be all that’s left.
