This week, an interview with Amanda Palmer of The Dresden Dolls, who also has a solo album coming out this fall entitled "Who Killed Amanda Palmer?"
The always innovative EdgeFest continues to redefine the musical boundaries of rock and tradition with Amanda Palmer of The Dresden Dolls on June 20, performing for the first time ever with orchestra.
Video Exclusive: Amanda Palmer Theatrical-rock, manic-musical, neo-glam... With their national cult following, The Dresden Dolls duo has defied genre and explanation with their experiments in harmony, narrative, and dark melodrama.

In this special presentation by the Dresden Dolls' Amanda Palmer, classic orchestra and punk cabaret collide to take her goth performance art to a new level.
Rock bands are pigeonholed into ever-increasingly minuscule sub-categorizations, but The Dresden Dolls continue to defy explanation and classification. While some have called it theatrical rock, punk cabaret, manic-musical, neo-glam-torch,…eventually even the most clever and creative describers shrug and say: “You just have to hear it to believe it.”
Living in a two-faced, popular culture built on artifice that demands authenticity; The Dresden Dolls take the world stage, tear down the curtain, rip holes in the veneer and create their own rules, rhymes and reason.
EdgeFest Café After each EdgeFest concert, hear the best of today's emerging talent. The Luminescent Orchestrii, a gypsy tango klezmer punk acoustic string band from New York City, will perform after Amanda Palmers' Edgefest concerts on June 19 and 20 at Symphony Hall.
