EP 01-1.jpg
The Dresden Dolls 5 track EP was the first release The Dresden Dolls sold at live gigs. It was handmade by Amanda and Brian and contained rough demo versions of their songs. Read more about it...


The EP was followed by a live album named A Is For Accident, featuring live recordings from lots of different gigs. It was first released by Important Records and later re-released by Amanda's own record label named 8 ft. Records.

TDD 05-1.jpg
The self-titled studio debut by The Dresden Dolls was first released by 8 ft. Records and later re-released by Roadrunner Records, when Amanda & Brian got signed by the major record label. Collectors distinguish at least 13 different versions of this album.


In April 2006, the Dolls' second studio album became released under the name Yes, Virginia..., coined on a popular letter published by the New York Sun in 1897, where a columnist answered to the question about the existance of Santa Claus.

Yes, Virginia... was followed by No, Virginia..., which contained out-takes of the Yes, Virginia... session, as well as new recordings. It represents the most current work of The Dresden Dolls, since the band is now on hiatus, while Amanda pushes her solo career and Brian joins various bands, including Humanwine and The World/Inferno Friendship Society, as well as a rogue appearance on Ghosts by Trent Reznor's Nine Inch Nails.

In September 2008, Amanda released her first solo album named Who Killed Amanda Palmer, produced by Ben Folds.

For March 2009, the release of her project Evelyn Evelyn (two conjoined (or "siamese") twins) is announced on Jason Webley's website, who happens to be the other half in this phenomenal adventure.

 So what can you do here?

You can create or expand articles, like one about the Fuck The Back Row concerts, about Amanda's home: the Cloud Club, the living statue named the 8ft Bride, the siamesian twins called Evelyn Evelyn or the famous Café Pamplona. Where or what is The Onion Cellar? Explain what a Heartplane or a Karaoke Verité is. What does LOFNOTC mean and who are Micheal Pope, Jason Webley or Beth Hommel? Anyone know something about this Brigade? Of course it might also be worth mentioning The Dresden Dolls, Brian - god on drums - Viglione and miss Amanda - octopus legs & Fucking undead - Palmer. This is just an excerpt. We might compile much more information, when you participate!

Every Song gets an article, every show gets an article and all the records become listed.

This is a community effort. You want to see something? Then please create it!
