Band Profile, ohmy! The Dresden Dolls.

LONG LIVE THE PUNK CABARET!
In other words, here's a band profile on Boston-based band, The Dresden Dolls.

Name: The Dresden Dolls
Members: Amanda Palmer (vocals, piano), and Brian Viglione (drums).
Ages: Amanda is 31, Brian is 28.
Genre: Brechtian punk cabaret.
Signifigant Achievements: Being awesome, generally. Amanda Palmer also has a solo album coming out this September. Go Amanda!
Not-so-signifigant Achievements: They like to have naked photoshoots. I know, I know. But at least Pete Wentz isn't joining them.
Stalker Rating: Moderately Low - All bands get the crazy fans, but the Dresden Dolls are rather crazy themselves! Amanda has had people grab at her inappropriately, from the mosh pit, while she's on stage, though.
"How can I become one of the said stalkers?": Why, I'm glad you asked! They have a MySpace (here is Amanda's one, which she blogs on), and a website.
Other (un)Nessecary Information:
The Dresden Dolls went on tour with Panic! At the Disco at one time, and made a hilarious video entitled "The Dresden Dolls vs. Panic! At the Disco". Find it on YouTube!
Photographic Evidence:

Brian: Be serious, be serious, be serious...
Amanda: Ohhh, is that a flying piano?!
