Amanda Palmer

Amanda Palmer hasn’t recorded a proper solo album since 2008.

She’s been busy touring and recording live and occupying herself with side projects like Evelyn Evelyn, ukulele covers of Radiohead songs, theatre acting and the occasional tour with the Dresden Dolls.

Amanda Palmer & the Grand Theft Orchestra is due in September.

Via Kickstarter she has impressively raised over $800,000 to date to finance the album.

“Do It With a Rockstar” is the first song from the album and a free download.

The Breeders, Tegan & Sara, Good Charlotte, the Doves, Múm, the Veronicas, Blonde Redhead, and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah all have one thing in common: twins are in the band. Move over Thompson Twins, Cocteau Twins, Olsen Twins. For the first time in rock history, just when you think that you have seen it all, conjoined twins have taken to the stage. Evelyn Evelyn debuted last night in Cambridge, Massachusetts. United with two arms, two voices, four eyes, and one liver (oh pity that liver), Evelyn and Evelyn sang and played piano, ukulele and accordion as the stunned audience heard the story of their tragic life. Yes it was somewhat of a freak show, but then isn’t most rock partly a freak show? Coming to a town near you soon, Evelyn Evelyn have just released their self-titled album. “My Space” is taken from this disc. As Mick Jagger once intoned: “but what can two poor girls do, but sing for a rock ‘n’ roll band”.

Amanda Fucking Palmer

My dear friend Amanda Palmer is commemorating her release from her record label with a free download. She’s been battling with Roadrunner Records for two years over artistic direction, content and image. At one point they told her that a video should be edited because she looked too fat! Soon we will feature her current collaboration with Jason Webley, Evelyn Evelyn. But today we celebrate her new found freedom with “Do You Swear to Tell the Truth the Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth So Help Your Black Ass”.
