The Dirty Business Brigade Kansas City

"The Dresden Dolls Brigade is our name for an ever-changing collection of performance artists who are an integral part of our live shows. Theater groups, visual artists, dancers, and all other sorts of off-kilter performing artists are invited to create living theater and art at the various rock clubs and theaters the band inhabits, night after night, around the world. These acts may take place in or outside of the club and may be static or roving. Some acts may take place on stage (either in place of or in addition to the traditional “opening local band”) and on rare occasions may be incorporated into the band’s set itself. Our aim is to make the experience for our audience more fun, authentic, interactive, and surreal. We seek out and encourage the expression of non-traditional arts, hoping the crowd goes home with the feeling of being immersed in a unique atmosphere....walking away feeling like they were a part of our show – not just watching one. We hope our audience will take away with them with a sense of awe and wonder, and the knowledge of artistic possibilities. Most importantly, it’s a wonderful way to give a stage to a local performance artist who might otherwise have no venue in which to showcase his or her unconventional talents." -Amanda PalmerThis particular branch of the brigade is for the Kansas City oriented brigade. This group is not limited to Kansas City citizens but is for anyone who may attend the Kansas City shows and wishes to join in the brigade madness. If you are someone who is interested in brigading but would not be able to attend the Kansas City shows because of your location, check out The Dirty Business Brigade on Myspace. This is the myspace meeting place for brigaders of all cities.
