Ye olde (SatanSatanSatan!) Vaudevillian magic.

dresden_dolls.jpgThe Dresden Dolls are hitting the road again, sort of. From the release:

A program consisting of short films selected from submissions by the Dolls feverishly creative fan base will be peppered with thought provoking vaudeville antics in cities across America. Amanda Palmer herself will cap off the night in typical piano-destroying fashion, singing songs culled from popular and not-so-popular film soundtracks (expect John Hughes, Pink Floyd AND Disney Classics.

Deep Throat? Oklahoma? She’s still working on it).

If you haven’t heard their last album you’re an idiot.
“Nuff said.
