Amanda Palmer is the shit

Bisexual musician Amanda Palmer is best known as one half of baroque cabaret-pop duo The Dresden Dolls, but this year she has struck out on her own in support of her new solo album Who Killed Amanda Palmer. As evinced by her song Oasis, a chipper ditty about rape and abortion, Palmer’s music uses theatrical flourishes to piano music that covers a broad and often macabre range of subjects.

TNG has two pairs of free tickets, autographed CDs and meet N’ Greet passes (to say hi to Amanda in person) for the two people who leave the most compelling reason for getting such swag in the comments to this post. I’ll be deciding this contest on the early side, so the sooner the better. And remember to also email your answer to Zack@Thenewgay.net.

This should be really good show and I encourage people to go for the tickets. I’ll be posting an interview with Amanda later today and you can check out a mixtape of her music below the fold.
