A Dresden Dolls Mailing List message from Brian:

LET THE MADNESS BEGIN!

Ladies and Gents, Brian here, writing to you from Munich, Germany at the start of the WORLD/INFERNO tour!!

We spent the month of June rehearsing our asses off in a sweltering, dusty, warehouse space on 57th St. in glorious Manhattan, NYC and I am now bracing myself for the impending whirlwind of shows that lies ahead. World/Inferno is on a 5 week blitzkrieg through Europe then coming back to begin US shows! U.S. TOUR DATES ARE BEING BOOKED NOW, SO GET READY...

We will be doing a mix of headlining shows and also the theater show we've been working on entitled, "Addicted To Bad Ideas: Peter Lorre's 20th Century".

In September, the band will be doing performances in Holland, New Jersey, and a short mid-western tour. October sees the band doing shows in the southeast US, and up through the northeast for an epic Hallowmas show on October 31st, then bombing around performing, spreading love and spilling wine, into November.

We've got some great new items available on the World/Inferno merch page including CDs ($12), 7" Vinyl ($3), and also we've got new patches in the works as well and the (dun dun dun!) Cycling Cap! Please check the brand new merch page for updates.

We are making plans to get out all over the US between the fall and spring.

PLEASE CHECK THE DATES BELOW AND GET YOUR ASS TO THE SHOW!! (Click for ticket info)

Finally, Amanda and I want to send a massive thank you to all of you who we met and rejoiced with at the ROTHBURY Festival this past weekend. Not a more beautiful setting for celebrating art & music, taking political action for the environment, and enjoying the great out doors on the 4th of July, could have been possible. Everyone involved in putting this event together did and incredible job and it won't be forgotten. Hope to see you there next year.
