The Dresden Dolls, a famous dark cabaret gothic duo, were wonderful musicians to behold in Portland, OR.
Whether they were tinkling away dark, mesmerizing tunes on the piano, or filling the stage with their vocals, both Amanda Palmer and Brian Viglione were completely in sync with each other. While their sound and lyrics certainly have a dark, melancholic nature to them, their performance was style life-affirming for the sheer amount of passion on display on stage.
Singer Amanda Palmer has an incredible command of her voice and squeezed every possible emotive quality out of it while performing songs such as "Good Day" and "Boston." "Half Jack," especially, was an incredibly powerful performance, which elicited thunderous cheering and applause from the jumping crowd.
Even if there's a somber nature to their performances, the crowd certainly respects and appreciates their music and is there to support The Dresden Dolls, a band that is known for crafting its own unique sound which suits its purposes perfectly. Every note of their live performance exuded what The Dresden Dolls have always been looking to craft, and to experience it with an audience that was there to support and appreciate their darker music made the performance extra worthwhile.
