Amanda Palmer and the Grand Theft Orchestra - Theater is Evil
Bristling riffs lifts chiseled riddles riding roller coaster explosions between sumptuous lunges, staunch romps and inventive interventions. Subversive purrs turn from personal murmurs into grand slam grandstanding as hauntingly gothic bohemia grows deeper and steamier in the hands of former Dresden Dall, renegade blogger Amanda Palmer. “Evil,” seethes and seizes; operatic cataclysms and catechism cynicism blend wrenching emotional tensions into fascinating ballads and exasperating cabaret, tempting redemptions write caustic subplots through pop-rock pirouettes for lavish, upbeat burlesque as each tune her Grand Theft Orchestra conquers saunters in jaunty confidence, clamoring in clandestine providence as intimate details emerge in coy rejoicing and brazen games. Fresh off the European leg of their world tour Amanda and her band of artful dodgers play Milwaukee’s Turner Hall November 11th
