The Dresden Dolls London Roundhouse 3rd Nov 2006
Last night, I had a great time in the company of painted freaks, performers and burlesque dancers and of course, The Dresden Dolls who are doing two shows this weekend at the newly refurbished Roundhouse in Camden Town, which they are filming for an upcoming live DVD. It was just the most wonderful setting and the sound was fantastic and the band was just awesome. The highlight was the beautiful dancing girls and the Cord de Lisse acrobat during "Gravity" and a rare live airing of "The Jeep Song" my personal favourite from the first album. This is my third show of theirs this year and it was definately the most spectacular.Set List:
"Sex Changes"/"Missed Me"/"Gravity"/"Modern Moonlight"/Mrs.O"/"Backstabber"/"Coin Operated Boy"/"Two Headed Boy"(Neutral Milk Hotel)"/"Mandy Goes to Med School"/"Slide"/ "Lonesome Organist Rapes Page Turner"/"The Jeep Song"/"Dirty Business"/"Delilah"/"My Alcoholic Friends"/"Bad Habit"/"Sing"
Encores:
"Mein Herr"(from the musical 'Cabaret')/"Mad World"(by Tears for Fears w/Trash from The Red Paintings)/"Half Jack"/"Girl Anachronism"

wow, that looks like such an entertaining show. i've been meaning to check out their live act, but somehow, i've always missed them when they tour around here...
That's a lot of photos!
It really was a great, great show. Normally you spend most of your time at a gig hanging around waiting, whereas the night just flew by.
They never seem to disappoint.
You've posted some excellent photos of the whole event - thanks for sharing. I went on 4 November as well and added some more (slightly better) photos to the blog.
Long live the punk cabaret!
Thanks Guys, it was a great show, it was a spectacle and it was so refreshing as you say to have multitude of sins on offer instead of getting drunk and watching set changes or looking upto the rafters.
Roll on the fucking DVD!!
I was at the same show. It was fantastic I loved the visual artists and burlesque performers here are some of my shots www.picturise.com
