Leaving aside the usual business of missing my wife, I wish I’d been in Auckland NZ last night. Amanda bumped into Richard O’Brien in a juice bar on the morning of the Dresden Dolls show, and well, she’s Amanda, so things sort of happened.

Like, this.

This happened. And it was spectacular. They also did Science Fiction Double Feature, and this was all on top of what was already arguably the best gig I’ve been to, certainly the best one in the last few years. It was the first time that I’d seen The Dresden Dolls (not counting when Brian played bass to Amanda’s uke for a couple of songs at her NYE ‘09 show) - but the fifteenth time (I believe) that I’ve seen A. She’s amazing solo, don’t get me wrong, but there was such a sense of completion and wholeness to the sound and the performance in general. Brian is spectacular, flamboyant, and lovely to look at to boot. And made a damn fine Columbia.
