The Dresden Dolls announce a global tour and the re-recorded release of Yes, Virginia… (Tailor’s Version), out on vinyl, CD, and all streaming platforms August 7, 2026. Guest vocalists include Jinkx Monsoon and Veronica Swift. The pioneering punk cabaret duo of Amanda Palmer and Brian Viglione enter a new chapter with a full re-recording of their 2006 album Yes, Virginia…, tracked in Boston. The new release arrives August 7, 2026, followed by a tour across the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Europe. The title nods to Taylor Swift’s reclamation of master recordings. After a 20-year contract with Roadrunner Records, the band regained the right to re-record their catalog. The announcement comes nearly 20 years after the original release. The track list remains unchanged (with a bonus track on vinyl and CD), while performances reflect two decades of artistic and personal evolution. Known for Viglione’s orchestral drumming and Palmer’s percussive piano and songwriting—exploring sexuality, identity, addiction, capitalism, and social isolation—this version brings new depth. Songs including “My Alcoholic Friends,” “Sex Changes,” and “Backstabber” return with renewed intensity. Recorded in late 2025 at Mad Oak Studios, the album was tracked mostly live with Benny Grotto and mixed by Paul Kolderie. It also features artwork by Niki McQueen. The release signals a resurgence: nearly 3 million Spotify followers, over 240 million streams for “My Alcoholic Friends,” and a recent platinum certification. Formed in Boston in 2000, The Dresden Dolls helped define “punk cabaret” and continue to reach new audiences.
