BRIAN VIGLIONE was introduced to the drums by his father at age five with his interest quickly deepening at age nine when rock music became a primary focus and passion. A pivotal moment occurred in 1990 when Brian’s father brought him to see The Elvin Jones Jazz Machine and Brian witnessed his first up-close exposure to the drummer who would become his principal inspiration on the instrument. At sixteen years old, Brian began playing gigs in clubs with bands around New England before moving from New Hampshire to Boston in 1999. There, he played with several Boston punk bands on both drums and bass guitar, before forming The Dresden Dolls in October 2000 with songwriter/pianist, Amanda Palmer. The Dresden Dolls are a Boston based keyboard/drum duo now famous around the globe. After signing with Roadrunner Records in early 2004, the band re-released their self-titled debut The Dresden Dolls to worldwide acclaim and recently made their Billboard chart debut with the equally applauded follow up Yes, Virginia. In addition, the band’s live audiences continue to grow exponentially around the planet as The Dresden Dolls have completed sold-out tours on four continents, supported Nine Inch Nails, and performed at prestigious world festivals including Reading, Leeds, Coachella, Fuji Rock, Roskilde and Glastonbury. Locally they have won numerous awards ranging from multiple Boston Music Awards to topping the Boston Phoenix/FNX Best Music Poll. Brian is also a Yamaha, Zildjian, and Vic Firth endorsee. Brian is currently on tour with HUMANWINE. When not on tour with The Dresden Dolls or HUMANWINE, Brian enjoys giving drum lessons and collaborating with many other Boston musicians including Neovoxer Ensemble and Reverend Glasseye and cooking dinners with his friends.
