TOMORROW !!! THE BROOKLYN PATRON-ONLY PARTY!!!
COME!!!!

OCT 26th  - 7pm-12am!

I'll likely be swinging by in the early part of the evening....be ready to hug me because I will really fucking need it. I'm exahustopants.

LAST CALL FOR TICKETS!!!!

Repeat text for those who missed it:

We're going to be putting on a PRIVATE PATRON PARTY on our day off!

 This party is MOSTLY about YOU...I wanted to give the patrons a chance to gather and hang out!! The event isn't making any money (for me, at least), we're just ticketing it to cover costs and make sure there's a cap, and it's a nice bump in visibility for my friend Larisa Fuch's new loft/venue Gemini & Scorpio  in Brooklyn!!! She's a gem, and so is everything that she creates.

Come celebrate, recover, & connect with fellow Patrons during the Dresden Dolls NYC residency week. Nurse your hangover, wear your pajamas or your finery, mix and mingle with each other while bopping to a playlist curated by Amanda (and YOU!). A full bar with snacks will be available and a plethora of local restaurant options to choose from. WE CAN ONLY FIT ABOUT 100 PEOPLE, PLEASE GET TICKETS NOW. JUST LOOK HOW MAGIC THE SPACE IS!!

WHEN: Thursday October 26th, 7pm-12am

WHERE: Gemini & Scorpio Loft, 267 Douglass St, Brooklyn 11217

TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE HERE  - Use code 'AFPpatrons' (case sensitive)

LOOK AT THE MAGIC!!!!!!! more on the Gemini & Scorpio loft

SEE YOU SOON.....

All of this looks amazing! <3 :: No sleep till…. Ah screw it I’m gonna go take a nap. Can’t wait that long. Who knows when Brooklyn will come.

Dorit

I wish I had been there! Very far away here in Cape Town. Those photos are so beautiful! Enjoy it all extra for those of us far away. Can't wait for those demos!

Shiranne

Yes to yesterday and yes to today and yes to tomorrow 😄 I can’t get Whakanewha out of my head… 💜

Dahlia

See you tonight!!!!

Len Tower Jr.

Thanks for all the pics & posts !!! I too wish I could be part of the Dolls NYC Week 2023. Spend time with fellow Patrons & fans. Next time! Love, Len

Melinda V

I'm looking forward to seeing you guys in LA on December 8th!

Cat VanBilliard

I was there last night, and will be there today, Friday and Saturday, too. The show was… electric. Buzzy. Invigorating. Like coming home! The new songs were beautiful, and sad, and heart filling. I’m looking forward to hearing them again, and eventually being able to listen to them over and over whenever I like. See you in a few hours- Love you, and Brian, too ~Cat

Fleassy Malay

I'm so sad I wasn't able to come across to the states and see these shows, but I'm also very much needing rest after our 5 show run at Melbourne Fringe last week (we got Judges Pick twice!). I can feel how hyped you are after last night's show. I feel compersion for you, a joy in witnessing your joy. I can't wait to hear your recording of your new track. 💗

Andrew Tomkovich

I won’t be at the party tomorrow but my sister and I will be at the Bowery tonight! Can’t wait!

Kirk

I was there last night, amazing show, and just want to know when the new stuff will be out :)

Ryan Young

I'll be there on Saturday with my 13 year old daughter (DD are her favorite band) and she's beyond hyped. She's had a rough few months (lost her grandfather right before her BD and school starting). I hope this is will be an amazing and healing experience for her.

Neil Brown

Well, we’ll be at “Merrily We Roll Along” tomorrow night (Yeah, I know, theater is evil.), but we are really looking forward to seeing you Friday!

Sarah Carter

Amazing!! I cannot wait for Friday. I’m in Brooklyn now but can’t make it tomorrow night - but I’m a VIP who will hug you on Friday!

Justin Mitchell

Last night was absolutely amaze-balls. And the new shit is THE SHIT! The weird one, you know, the WEIRD one - fucking loved it!! I told my gf it was like a slow-mo accordion dream interlude. And my gf got her first DD experience and is IN LOVE, lol. Had an absolute blast and I *hope* I can make it tomorrow to the party. I'm having a root canal finished earlier in the day, so it's a little dicey.

Pamela Kirsch

Last night was incredible see you again in a few hours ❤️

Pamela Kirsch

Also those new songs are incredible. fuckkkkkkk

Tony Pegg

I will be there tomorrow in Brooklyn! Can't wait to see you and all my Campersand friends and make new friends! Will have hugs for any that need it. I will also be at the concert on Friday!

Jen Capobianco

Going Saturday! Will try and get to Brooklyn tomorrow!!

Tim Rodriguez

Ugh Thursday! Whyyyy! (I am in a playwriting class, so I'll be making art and wishing I was able to be in multiple places at once. Speaking of which, I have homework to do!) Have a great time!!!

Alicia Webber

The show was everything, last night!!! We brought our 15 year olds…beatlemania type tears were shed; voices were lost and/or cracking, this morning…an eternal family memory was made! The four of us, completely, fell for the new songs. It was really cool to have them resonate with my kiddos AND with myself. I divorced when my kiddo (I have one bio and one step) was only three, after 13 years of marriage…I remember the discombobulation, grief, anger, isolation. The vulnerability of the new songs will touch a lot of souls. You guys have my kids an added bonus lesson, too…it’s ok to make a mistake…it’s ok to stop and restart…it’s ok to change your mind and choose something else…both kids commented on how cool that was to see.

Amanda Eckert

I’ll be there tomorrow night for the patreon party and then the show on Friday—CANT WAIT 🥳💃🙌

Len Tower Jr.

The seven new songs are harder to do than the four hours of a No Intermission show? ;-}}} What's unusual with Brian using his stool for gymnastics? ;-}}} May just be too long since I've seen a Dolls show (Boston Harborside show last decade?), but I don't remember Brian's hair so long & so much a part of his art. It certainly helps photographers capture his dynamics. Love, Len

lee barron

Great photos!!! its whythey cakl it playing?

Victoria Rae Sook

Does anyone have chair/ vip access on Friday? I’m recovering from a surgical birth - I was the pregnant one at colony/ yoga class) and standing yesterday broke me. (This makes me nuts because I am a runner/ dancer.) But I don’t wanna miss the Friday show but I don’t think I can stand again. Happy to pay / buy drinks/ whatever!

Wally Nancy

I'm kind of afraid of NYC, so I love these how these posts let me enjoy the shows vicariously. I've been to Woodstock twice for shows since moving to Schenectady, that town is more my style.

Jeremy Sliwoski

I came last night but not to the show AY-Oooooooh!

Lisa Pannek

The show was GREAT! The energy you two bring to the stage is huge. I’d forgotten how captivating Brian is to watch. I loved the new stuff!! My fave was the gorgeous and moving song about the lovers. The Christmas song was a surprising close second. “I don't know how I can go out on tour with these songs and do it every night.” - It was awesome to hear seven new songs and it would have been just as awesome to hear one. I hope you have aftercare rituals and are able to tend to your heart 💜

Kelly Larnach

Hell yes, I was up on the balcony loudly losing my shit! I’m croaky as fuck today, and no regrets to be had. OMG all those new songs (I went to sleep mentally replaying that Christmas one), the amount of passion and energy you and Brian brought to the stage, that kid’s playing, your fucking War Pigs cover!!!?? And you held every single one of us captivated the entire time! My brain was exploding! Don’t suppose you’re going to release an official recording of it? Pretty please?? My grainy phone recording footage just doesn’t do the memories enough justice. Those of you who are going later this week are in for an amazing ride! Prepare to throw both your heart and your voice box onto the stage and leave Bowery Ballroom both euphoric and emotionally wrecked. Totally worth it! xx

Liz Armanini

Amanda, I was there tonight (like an hour ago) and I need to know the name of the “runner, fighter, writer, lover” song. I cried my eyes out, an instant favorite, right up there with Truce and Boston (so happy you closed with Truce.) looking forward to chatting tomorrow, thank you for everything <3

Liz Armanini

There’s an old recording of their war pigs cover back from like, yeesh, 2006? It might still be floating around on the Internet but it definitely exists on my old iPod!

Shiranne

Anyone can request ADA seating and they will provide you with a chair!!!!! It’s the law 💜

tess

I haven’t been able to come to the shows at the Bowery because I work Friday and Saturday nights but I just got my ticket for this!! I’m so excited!!

Fran

It’s all too far from me in NZ but I’m loving the photos and the comments - Brian’s jacket is an absolute work of art and I adore it!

Lex

The show last night was truly amazing!! My heart felt all of it. It’s been echoing through my mind all morning 🖤 I was leaning against the wall toward stage left (chronic health/pain issues and I didn’t realize I could ask for a seat! So I was firmly propped against the wall haha), so I couldn’t see Amanda during the balcony part of the show. Is there footage?

Matthew Clemens-Lary

I was there, i loved it, the new stuff chimed with my current heartbreak, abd you were both so epic. Came from England to see, and the night made the trip x

Jeffrey

I put up two nice videos from last night’s show at the Bowery Ballroom. If you don’t want them there, Amanda, tell me and I’ll take them down. But you were awesome, loud and glorious, and I wanted to share the glory.

Callye M

I have two tix to the show tonight, please reach out if you want to buy them, I am super bummed ….my email is callyem@fastmail.com

Jeremy Sliwoski

I came tonight, but like in a respectful manner

Jen Capobianco

Loved meeting you Thursday. Just to sit and talk and listen was lovely. See you Saturday!

Jess R

Hey, are your tickets for last night or tonight (10/28)? Interested

Scott Meekins

Amanda, you should do Iron Man by Black Sabbath!

Len Tower Jr.

Jeffrey: 1) Web link? 2) Amanda may not read this, despite her best efforts to. 3) If your videos have any of the new songs, please take them down, or edit the new songs out. Amanda has always asked that songs that are being developed, not fully released, not be videoed or shared online. Otherwise, Amanda should be fine with them. Thanks, Len

Len Tower Jr.

I've seen footage in several places. Most reels on Brian's & the Doll's Instagram. Amanda has done balcony renditions of this song in quite a few venues. Happy searching, Len

Len Tower Jr.

There are recordings of War Pigs from many of their shows on-line. Happy searching, Len

Silvia DW

Yes! That one is powerful! I think the only one that made me cry more was the Christmas one.
