The Dresden Dolls

The Dresden Dolls are easily one of my favorite bands to see live. Within a top 3.

Aside from incredible musicianship and wonderful music, their live performance one of the most entertaining and impressive as any I have ever seen.

I have always loved how Amanda and Brian have this sort of back and forth conversation through eye contact and body gestures throughout the show, flowing perfectly with the songs.

When I had the opportunity to photograph them at Tipitina's in New Orleans, LA there were two things I wanted to capture.

The first was the energy and passion that they put in to their music and their performance, the second is the interactions between the two of them.

I shot the above photo from directly behind Brian. Her eyes say it all.

There are quite a few other shots from this show, including a few of Jason Webley, an incredible musician himself, in my "Live band / Performance" gallery on my flickr.. See following link:
