Hello loves!


Althing coming tomorrow.

I wrote about this in the Graveside Thing Post from a couple days ago but it was among a gazillion other photos and things - PRIVATE PRACTICE is happening again! I’ll probably do one in November as well, so hold the phone.

This is a patron-only show at our little venue in Woodstock, NY…and I’m going to just use you all as listening little guinea pigs to try out my new material. I’ve written 3-4 new songs for the upcoming dresden dolls record in the past few months and they need road-testing … I also work well with deadlines. So if I have a show - I gotta work on this shit.

We are gonna put the FIREPLACE into practice as well (it’s cold) and Liz has been experimenting with Fancy Mocktails so watch out. Feel feel to bring food to share (just don’t leave anything behind!!)

Last night I ambushed the Charming Disster show at Graveside and played one of my brand-new tunes (I finished it only three days ago) for the audience at the end of intermission.

It feels so so good to do this. I need ears. Otherwise the music just doesn’t feel finished or right.

AND FUCK ME THIS NEW DOLLS RECORD IS GOING TO BE GOOD.

The private practice show is Monday,

October 9th

at 6:30pm

at Graveside Variety, 33 Rock City Rd, Woodstock.

There’s only about 50 tickets.

Some photos from last night at graveside…this one from Liz. I had to crowdsource a pair of reading glasses because I AM OLD. THANKS TIM.



Backstage selfie.

And the amazing artist Niki McQueen who has been doing all the poster art for the dolls mailed this from South Africa as a surprise and I nearly wept. This is “Keeper of the Light”, the painting that awed me and inspired me to reach out to her and commission her for the first dolls show.


Thanks to Michael and Liz who also collabed on this surprise. I love my team so much.


We are gonna frame this and put it somewhere important in the venue.

Charming Disaster were GREAT:

Amazing photos. Lots of love and joy in them. Wish I was a local instead of being a local near Manchester England x

Jo

So excited for new Dolls music!! Any chance you'll be touring with the new album? The UK? 🤞🏻

Michael Murphy

Oh my god, you look SO HOT in that outfit.

Sue-Ellen Stroum

Yes, Amanda, you do look very hot in that outfit. Oh, how exciting to see my friends all together. Wish I could’ve been in that room with you and Charming Disaster, though I am broke as can be. I’m a fellow artist and I’m glad to support the three of you and I’ve been really proud to support graveside variety. I’ve opened galleries before and there is one called Gallery X over 30 years later in New Bedford Massachusetts that has turned into a nonprofit, and is running without me. And they regularly feature bands, as well as art. but Graveside is kind of a place which I’d love to open if I had the means. When I had an apartment in Woodstock, Afew years ago, I remember it seemed as if the town was against public venues like these, however, it looks like you’ve charmed them and also have answer to great need. I’ve been thinking of something Amanda. Would you ever consider profit sharing with your patrons if something became really, really successful? Continue funding with Patreon and then share the profits? It would be the coolest thing ever I’ve been a friend of Billy Bragg for decades, and when his record company couldn’t keep their inflated terms, he bought his record back and paid everyone who was involved with the record company a profit in the process. Or something like that. But they were overjoyed. You’ll have to ask him about it. He’s got amazing respect for you. Got his number if you need it.. Anyway I’m fantasizing about moving to Woodstock, but it might take me a while. And if I do, it will be to take part in this amazing community. Lots of love to you all. xox-e

Looking forward to all the new songs played live by Brian & you. Love, Len

Anna Bruce

All so amazing. Looking forward to hearing 🖤🖤

Daniel Allen

That's a hell of pose, a hell of an outfit, and a hell of person in that pic. I dearly wish I lived in that area so I could soak in all the wonderful stuff getting put out there lately. It's a hell of a thing y'all have done and are doing. Keep it up.

Bruce Cooper

I also love Niki’s art and bought 3 of her unique and beautiful artworks - 2 Dolls & 1 Amanda

Amanda, I met Ellia at the Patreon afterparty you hosted after that epic performance of Truth and Consequences at the New York Public Library in 2015. You borrowed her ukelele to play for us all, and Ellia turned to the nearest stranger (me!) to ask for a quick picture of the two of you. She and I soon discovered we had tons of friends in common and she became my friend, songwriting teacher, and mentor. My whole life changed, simply because Amanda Palmer borrowed a ukelele. Last night I watched Ellia perform for our mutual favorite music icon and at one point I kinda lost it — the sense of that full-circle moment, my joy for my friends, my gratitude to witness it and especially for how seemingly random encounters can spark abundantly rich life changes. I sat smiling with tears running down my face 💞 I love Ellia and Jeff, I love Graveside Variety — and I love you, Amanda. Thank you, thank you. (And your new song gave me shivers.)

Dani

Amanda, these photos are awesome! I am looking forward to this so incredibly much! I can't even begin to say how much your art, your music, and your musings mean to me and have spoken to me throughout my life. This is going to be icing on my birthday cake! Ah! I'm ridiculously happy! I tried looking through the event page, are cameras allowed? I'd love to be able to take some while there but I understand if not. Can't wait! <3

Steven Panzek

Old hell! You look great in those photos. You look very happy as well. Wonder if I can transfer to Albany so I can hang out in your new community. Cheers

Ditto from another soul from across the pond who’s only local to Liverpool England. Warms my heart to see how well this project is going. The world has desperate need of the positive energy y’all are generating 💗 I love that there’s things going on during the day there. I have multiple chronic illnesses so evening excursions can no longer be a part of my repertoire.

Hi Parker. Great to hear from you . So sorry to hear about you health issues . Thinking of you xx

Jamie P.

Thanks for the behind the scenes look! So jealous of the locals. I cannot wait for the new album. I get chills even thinking about new music!

BridgetJ

Charming Disaster had me from the moment I walked through the doors of Colony for the Dolls show a month ago to the strains of 'Disembodied Head.' <3 Love them so much.

Erinn Baldeschwiler

Ok so the picture of you holding the painting is essentially EVERYTHING… the look, the embrace, the acceptance, the love, the fucking perfect Lighting! I mean. YES. … Hell. Fuck. Yes. And Fuck. The Godamn Shit Yes. Which is to say, YES … I approve of this sacred Healing. I support this Community. I anoint (?) this Communion of heARTS. Carry on stewards, sprites, elves, and yes even gremlins (remember there are those grems that cuddle and those that … well … those that most simply do not have the skills (yet 🫰🏼) … we’re in this together! 💜✨😇
