Forget Who Killed Amanda Palmer?, we’re wondering: Where’s Brian?! Amanda’s been up to so much by her lonesome recently, like far-flung covers (R.E.M., Rihanna, St. Vincent) and walking with the ghosts. And though it’s more strictly Palmer here, it’s well forgiven because a) it’s a listen at her forthcoming, Twin Peaks-referencing solo album and b) it is really, really good (and dramatic!). From her solo gig in Boston at Sxip’s Hour Of Charm. She can barely contain herself:
Who Killed Amanda Palmer? is due in ’08 on her label Eight Foot Records. If you liked that and are in Australia, Amanda’s coming to you with a bunch of shows this month. And Brian finally gets back in the act this winter with a bunch of North American Dresden Dolls dates, through later-December and most of January. Jump for ‘em.

Fuck Yeah!
i can barely fucking wait for this album. amanda palmer is my idol
just saw her on the 24th solo, wasnt sure how i was going to enjoy it without the powerhouse known as brian viglione backing her, but i was insanely impressed by her alone. seems her voice is a hell of a lot more accurate live these days.
oh stereogum, i never know when you’re joking anymore…
don’t care for the dolls myself, but an interesting sidenote: while she’s doing the solo record, he’s going to be out on the road drumming for nine inch nails. that’s a hell of a step up in my book.
Sexy weirdo she is
Did she shave her armpits yet? Hard to tell. Glad to see she got rid of the drumming mime, though.
fuck you epilady.
brian vigilione is one of the greatest drummers out there nowadays.
too bad youre too distracted by amanda’s armpits.
