Melbourne: Be A Part Of Our NYE Trash Masquerade!!!

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

Are you a performer in Melbourne? Do you have a performance piece or character that you might like to unleash upon the world? Are you just OTT crazy well-dressed and like to parade yourself, or sit elegantly and sip champagne while people watch you? Do you like to get naked publicly? Do you have an interactive installation piece with jello shots? Are you a human statue? Do you have any amazing skills that need to be shared?


SMW, our Art Director for the Melbourne NYE Trash Masquerade, is looking for some kick arse lovers and crazies to contribute to the party. C’mon, how can you not want to help this man?


Email your ideas/photos/videos to him at steven@amandapalmer.net ASAP, and he will select the 5 most exciting to be a part of our New Year’s extravaganza!

The Dresden Dolls in Christchurch!

Kiwi’s rejoice!  The Dresden Dolls reunion will be making another stop on the New Zealand leg of the tour.  The cabaret punk duo will be visiting the Aurora Center in Christchurch on January 25th.  This was the site of a devastating earthquake in February 2011 which thwarted an Amanda Palmer solo performance.  Proceeds from the show will be donated to the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal.

We’re also pleased to announce opening acts for all three New Zealand shows.  Joining The Dolls onstage in Auckland and Wellington will be Princess Chelsea, while Hera with House of Mountain will be the opening act in Christchurch.  Get your tickets HERE and follow The Dresden Dolls on Twitter for all the latest on the tour.
