Description: Riot-grrrl punk meets German cabaret in the whimsical world of Dresden Dolls. Besides being the only band on MTV that can reliably claim to be influenced by early '30s Weimar Republic cabaret music, Dresden Dolls are giving the Yeah Yeah Yeahs a run for their money with a campy yet honest piano-and-drums attack that rivals the most disturbing work by either Tori Amos or The Violent Femmes. Singer Amanda Palmer plays on the piano like a thunder storm with a grudge while drummer Brian Viglione pounds away like a post-drugs Keith Moon. Bonus: the duo dresses in authentic Weimar-style burlesque and whiteface.
