Backstage selfies, lightkeepers, disasters, and “Private Practice” at Graveside Variety for patrons only - Oct 9th. (Patreon)

Hello loves!

Althing coming tomorrow.

I wrote about this in the Graveside Thing Post from a couple days ago but it was among a gazillion other photos and things - PRIVATE PRACTICE is happening again! I’ll probably do one in November as well, so hold the phone.

This is a patron-only show at our little venue in Woodstock, NY…and I’m going to just use you all as listening little guinea pigs to try out my new material. I’ve written 3-4 new songs for the upcoming dresden dolls record in the past few months and they need road-testing … I also work well with deadlines. So if I have a show - I gotta work on this shit.

We are gonna put the FIREPLACE into practice as well (it’s cold) and Liz has been experimenting with Fancy Mocktails so watch out. Feel feel to bring food to share (just don’t leave anything behind!!)

Last night I ambushed the Charming Disster show at Graveside and played one of my brand-new tunes (I finished it only three days ago) for the audience at the end of intermission.

It feels so so good to do this. I need ears. Otherwise the music just doesn’t feel finished or right.

AND FUCK ME THIS NEW DOLLS RECORD IS GOING TO BE GOOD.

The private practice show is Monday,

October 9th

at Graveside Variety, 33 Rock City Rd, Woodstock.

Some photos from last night at graveside…this one from Liz. I had to crowdsource a pair of reading glasses because I AM OLD. THANKS TIM.

Backstage selfie.

And the amazing artist Niki McQueen who has been doing all the poster art for the dolls mailed this from South Africa as a surprise and I nearly wept. This is “Keeper of the Light”, the painting that awed me and inspired me to reach out to her and commission her for the first dolls show.

Thanks to Michael and Liz who also collabed on this surprise. I love my team so much.

We are gonna frame this and put it somewhere important in the venue.

Charming Disaster were GREAT:
