The year is almost over -- what better way to celebrate than with a punk cabaret show with the Dresden Dolls? The duo is touring for the first time in three years and will thrill the audience with a lively stage show and what will undoubtedly be a memorable performance.

If you can't make that show downtown, consider another duo, this one the local partnership of Meg & Bryan, performing a free show at West Coast Tavern, or head over to Lestat's if you missed your chance to see the Smart Brothers and the Wrong Trousers at the Casbah on Tuesday.
