Paterson and Amandacera Hannon are just two of the Dolls’ cult of street-performer fans known as The Dirty Business Brigade who follow the band on tour and provide extra vaudevillian touches to already chaotically theatrical shows. “I first had the idea back in, oh God, 2004-ish to be living painted statues, because [Palmer] had always been a living statue and I had done that too, so we thought, how could we make...

"She's got the kitchen sink flying, the china flying - the buffet is coming at me," he said during a whistle-stop tour of southeastern Pennsylvania.
