The Dirty Business Brigade

PUNK CABARET IS FREEDOM!

About Me

www.thedirtybusinessbrigade.net
The Dirty Business Brigade is a worldwide collective of performers intimately associated with The Dresden Dolls . We are not exclusive. We welcome newcomers with open hearts and are constantly seeking new ideas.
Our goal is to create worlds of beauty and art inside the typical world. They say "Life is a cabaret" and our mission is to make it feel that way. It's up to us to make it happen. We are creative people supporting other people being creative.
Ideally, we'd like to take this beyond the venues provided by The Dresden Dolls and we encourage everyone to put their souls into their art and perform on the streets in their own towns, at hospitals for children, on the bus, at other events, or anywhere you can think of to add an extra touch of beauty to the world.
Join us! Create something powerful and beautiful with us!
Please come discuss plans or find assistance at our Command Center: theShadowbox.net/forum
In the meantime, the Brigade does not have to sit down and wait. On the contrary, this is the time that the Brigade should take what you've learned from the Dresden Dolls and spread it to the rest of the world. Now it is YOUR turn to organize Brigade events. Make them happen, get in touch. We'll help you out any way we can.

REGIONAL BRIGADES:
While there is only ONE Brigade (and that is ALL of us), local people created these regional Brigade profiles to promote the Dresden Dolls and the Brigade to people who wouldn't otherwise know about it. If you are dedicated to the Punk Cabaret and want to actively organize Brigading in your area, let me know.
