Hello my loves.

SHORT STORY/LAST CALL/LATE NIGHT NEWS FLASH: *THE DOLLS ARE DOING UP AND DOWNSTATE NEW YORK AND YOU HAVE UNTIL TOMORROW TO GET ON THE MAILING LIST!*

You may have already gotten the news if you're on The Dolls mailing list, which, after all my hammering on, I HOPE YOU ARE.

THE DRESDEN DOLLS ARE PLAYING TWO RUNS OF SHOWS THIS FALL, and besides Riotfest in Chicago (Sept 17th) ... that's it for the year. We are going really slowly. We are working on a new record, but mama is getting divorced, mama is tired, mama doesn't know what 2024 and 2025 are really gonna hold, so mama is going super slowly as she writes this new record and puts a new team for the band together. I can't afford to fuck this one up.

These 7 shows are going to be our chance to be up close and personal to you while we play the new material I'm writing for the band over the coming summer, to flex the muscles of our new touring crew, and to plant the seeds for all the new beginnings to come. We could have played four times this many shows, but I also didn't wanna exhaust us, or spend that many nights away from Ash. So this is IT.

Here is the beautiful artwork Niki McQueen made for the shows (yes, there will be posters and merch of course, and probably a new run of delicious fruition chocolate to celebrate):




Art once again by Niki McQueen - design by Andrew Nelson.

THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE TICKET LINK PASSWORDS IS TO BE ON THE BAND MAILING LIST. THE TICKET LINK & PASSWORDS WILL BE SENT TO THE DOLLS' MAILING LIST TOMORROW. THE TICKETS GO ON SALE MONDAY at 10AM New York Time.  We expect they will sell out within minutes or hours. If you really wanna come, this is the only way. Get on the mailing list, get the password tomorrow, and set your alarms for Monday, password and link in hand.

Here's the mailing list link:

$75/Guest List patrons got a separate email about listage. If you missed it, go look.

Also, the pop-up is BLAZING. Graveside Variety is SAVING MY SOUL.

I can't wait for a thousand Dresden Dolls fans to descend on Woodstock and HAVE A PLACE TO HANG OUT. We are gonna have such a fucking blast in this space, and it's RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE VENUE!!!!!

I'm literally making this post from the backgammon table, and I had a little dolls writing session this morning, which I streamed a bit of from instagram.



That's right.

Things really DON'T get good until you see the veins popping out of my neck. Let the season begin.

If you're a local patron and you haven't RSVP's to this Sunday morning's $5 coffee truck party (9am-noon) or this Sunday night's piano party (6pm-9pm), DO IT.

Also: sorry for sending this so late in the day. I meant to post it at 3pm and got all tied up in life and forgot to hit send. I feel like 99% of the New York people are probably on the mailing list anyway … but there ya go.

Is there an additional place that they distribute the Fruition chocolate? I ate the candy bars and am a fan with of chocolate now. Also congratulations on Graveside Variety

The factory is like 10 minutes from there. Or you can order from the website. They also have a monthly subscription thing that is amazing. I’m a bit addicted. I may have ended up in pictures with Dahlia’s family at one point addicted… 😂 https://www.fruitionchocolateworks.com/

Aaaand.... I miss you. That's all. You're making me want to pack up and move out there and set up a knitting nook in a corner and become the weird old lady who is always knitting something and muttering about the old days and why don't kids call but who has a smile for everyone and somehow makes you feel like you're being held in an invisible veil of love and protection after you meet her. As one does.

Can't wait for Sunday! ❤️ coming with my fiancé and best friend in the evening!

Ooh I like the Woodstock art. And loved the Fruition chocolate, may have to order more. I wish I could be where all these things are happening, instead of here where some stressy things are happening. Hope the launch of Graveyard is a smashing success!

Tell me more about the scar...is it an appendectomy? Very messy ascending colon situation? Oophorectomy? I need to know. Love you! A

Saturday's my birthday and I really wish I Coyle be there Sunday but I'll be in Philly for a concert. 😥 Have a blast at the soft opening! ❤

I think the scar is whatever you feel makes the most sense to you in the narrative you see in the artwork. I know what it is for me. x

Oh… the urge to scrape together every penny I could to fly to New York 🥺🖤 🤔

That scar illustration really speaks to me - after three major abdominal surgeries my abdomen has transformed. I'm proud of my scars though: “Scars are not injuries... A scar is a healing. After injury, a scar is what makes you whole.” (China Mieville, The Scar)

Beautiful art. Anyone know a cheap place to stay in Woodstock for these shows? I just checked and it’s crazy pricing for that weekend.

ticketmaster kept saying the presale code was wrong... I was so early in line too :(

EvilElitest

I signed up for the email list but i'm not getting any tickets, am I missing something?

Couldn't get tickets to go through for Wednesday in NYC for some reason--seemed glitched. but I snagged a different day instead. Going to both the Woodstock and NYC shows. So fortunate to live close enough

Unfortunately Ticketmaster would not give me anywhere to enter the fan presale. I wonder if anyone else is having this issue

Grabbed Woodstock; may try NYC later if I feel especially greedy for more Dresden Dolls!

EvilElitest

there are some cheap motels in kingston its about 20 mins away, or Saugerties, both are less pricy than woodstock

Ugh. The show sold out before I could get the tickets anyway. Thanks for the response though!
