New Dresden Dolls Video: "Shores of California"

"California" here they come... With Kelly!

The Dresden Dolls are busy little bees. They're presently out touring the big gay U.S.A. with Cyndi Lauper on her True Colors tour. And frankly, I wasn't too familiar with them before seeing them on the tour this past weekend, but I sort of fell in love.

Lead singer Amanda Palmer is a lanky, louche, and lovely (and super-talented) musician and chanteuse. Her co-Doll Brian Viglione is tall, stringily muscular and supremely, quirkily talented, too. And he wears a nightie like nobody's business. Together they comprise one of the most interesting, unpredictable and original outfits creating cabaret-tinged, saloon-ready, theatrical pop-rock out there now. See them on the True Colors tour, if ya can.

I wish they all could be Dresden Dolls...

And now, after viewing this David Lee Roth inspired video for their latest, "Shores of California," I love them even more. The clip is truly fab. And watch for the smoochy cameo by Kelly! It's brilliant!

And Margaret Cho pops up, too. Yay!
