The Dresden Dolls, the pioneering punk cabaret duo of singer-songwriter Amanda Palmer and drummer/multi-instrumentalist Brian Viglione, are entering a powerful new chapter. The band’s landmark 2006 album Yes, Virginia… has been fully re-recorded from scratch by Palmer and Viglione in Boston, with the new release, Yes, Virginia…(Tailor’s Version), arriving on vinyl, CD, and all streaming platforms on August 7, 2026. The band will then hit the road for a tour of celebratory shows in major venues across the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Europe.The newly fashioned title is a nod to Taylor Swift’s reclamation of her early master recordings. Following the conclusion of a 20-year contract with Roadrunner Records, The Dresden Dolls regained the right to re-record the albums originally issued on the label. The announcement comes almost exactly 20 years after the release of the original record, making the timing of this release especially significant.
The track list remains unchanged (save for a bonus track on the vinyl & CD versions), but the performances reflect two decades of the band’s artistic and personal evolution.
