I would have put a picture of Amanda here, but it was scary. She makes me sad inside. Ms. Palmer is coming to Seattle for a show at the Showbox Theater. Here is some info from Wiki:
Palmer’s solo album, Who Killed Amanda Palmer, was released on 16 September 2008. Ben Folds produced and also played on the album. The title is a play on an expression used by fans during Twin Peaks’ original run, “Who killed Laura Palmer?”
“I think for a long time I felt like I had to scream to get my point across until I finally realized maybe that’s not the best way,” said Palmer in an article in Venus Zine.
In July 2007, Amanda played three sold out shows (Boston, Hoboken, and NYC) in rare “with band” performances. Her backing band was Boston alternative rock group Aberdeen City, who also opened along with Dixie Dirt.
In August 2007, Amanda traveled to perform in the Spiegeltent and other venues at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, and also performed on BBC 2’s The Edinburgh Show. She collaborated with Australian theater company, “The Danger Ensemble”; both again appeared at the Spiegeltent in Melbourne and at other venues around Australia in December 2007.
In September 2007 Amanda collaborated with Jason Webley to release Evelyn Evelyn’s debut EP “Elephant Elephant” via Jason’s Eleven Records
