Amanda Palmer @ the Spiegeltent, Thursday 13 December

[snip]

I was at a show last night that I think you would have enjoyed, actually...you may have heard of the Dresden Dolls? Anyway, one of their members (there are only two, I think) - Amanda Palmer - did a midnight gig at the Spiegeltent, and it was excellent - a sort of art-punk-cabaret-performance amalgam (much like the Dolls' stuff)...many goth kids in the audience completely losing their minds with excitement, particularly when she came down off the stage and walked through the crowd, still singing (never mind the capering, heavily made up performers who ran amok throughout).

(Also, she did a cover of "Creep" (w/special guest), and one of "Hallelujah". It really all was very good - dark and romantic and more than a bit baroque, shades of This Mortal Coil.)

(w/ trang, and two of her friends - E-L and a David)
