does anyone else share this (rather shallow) characterization?:

the lead singer for the dresden dolls reminds me exactly of those overbearing big-boned girls in your high school's drama club, graduated from "grease" to "rent" to feminism and social activism, plus always down to make out with some chick at a party.
Anyhow, I am replying a little OT as well, sorry Lamb007. But, I just wanted to give the head's up to anyone who is interested: work a table for Music for America and get in to see The Dresden Dolls show. Looks like one spot remains to work the show. Here's the link: http://www.musicforamerica.org/event/local?state=DC
(I don't represent or work for Music for America, so I can't help w/ with add'l information other than the link provided.)
Never seen em. I know the album and the two videos and nothing else. I like what I've heard but have no clue what their live shows are like. I'm expecting anything ranging from brilliant to embarassing.

Not sure I follow. Is this a good thing? I mean overly theatric do gooder with lesbian tendencies? Sounds like every girl I've ever dated.

it's not really a good thing, for me, but i'm sure it's great for others.

i reached that conclusion, by the way, based on that video of theirs on subterranean.
I'm getting more curious about the show, based on their website www.dresdendolls.com . There's a full-length clip for Coin-Operated Boy for those who are unfamiliar with them, such as myself.
I saw them at Iota last feb….they were pretty good. one of the singers fav bands is the legendary pink dots :o
DJ Strange will be there (look for the guy all in black with spiky, platinum blond hair).

I may be as well, but it's doubtful right now.

Cheers

DJ Medusa.
Solid show, although I thought the cover of "War Pigs" was a little weak (even though I appreciated the effort.) Nice sized crowd. Lots of theatre majors and sexually confused artists. And for the record, no man looks good in a corset.
