LET'S SEXY FIGHTING

The Dresden Dolls were accompanied by two live dancing dolls
throughout the show. Highly entertaining.

The Red Paintings followed by Jason Webley opened the night. Webley got the entire crowd energized with his accordian and caustic voice. According to him, the quickest way to get fucked up is to point your finger in the air, stare at it, and spin around 12 times.

Trash McSweeney of The Red Paintings accompanied The Dresden Dolls on stage for their rendition of "Mad World" during the encore. Earlier in the set they brought back Jason Webley to sing some Bon Jovi and break down the song analytically after each verse.

Amanda and Brian were tight as usual, and their sound filled Crystal Ballroom nicely.
