Punk Cabaret
Punk Cabaret is the name given to the style of a duo called The Dresden Dolls. Punk cabaret mixes punk tendencies and energy with the style of cabaret. The Dresden Dolls formed in the early 2000’s so this is a relatively new genre. It has a devoted following though will no doubt spawn new artists in the coming years and decades. So where does the cabaret fit in? Lead singer and pianist Amanda Palmer’s style of playing and music are both derived from cabaret. Drummer Brian Viglione often adds a cabaret flare. They are going on tour soon so you should try to catch them. Overall it is a young and exciting genre that will grow in the coming years. Here are some Youtube videos:
