Born in 1976, she grew up in Lexington, Massachusetts and received her B.A. from Wesleyan University. She attended Lexington High School, where she was very involved in the drama department. Amanda sometimes has Lexington High School students perform drama pieces at her shows. Before she was in the Dresden Dolls, she was in a band called “Amanda Palmer and the Void”.

@jesscadz and @Xanthosis: This is a common criticism of her nowadays, and she's very much aware of it. She doesn't care what we think. We've tried to let her know how we perceive this whole era of hers, but she doesn't think she owes us an explanation. This shoutbox is filled with complaints from me and others if you ever get bored and want to read back. INB4 I START IT UP AGAIN WITH THIS COMMENT
