AMANDA PALMER ROCKS MY FACE OFF

The "Ampersand" music video is now up on YouTube.

This is Part 3 of the "Who Killed Amanda Palmer" video series.

From the new album Who Killed Amanda Palmer, produced by Ben Folds - Out September 16, 2008 on Roadrunner Records.

New videos and songs will be coming ALL summer long and high quality versions of the entire video series will be available soon...be sure to stay tuned for when/where!

JUST WHO DO YOU THINK KILLED AMANDA PALMER?

Multi-talented songstress Amanda Palmer is set to release her first solo album, Who Killed Amanda Palmer on Roadrunner Records on September 16th. One half of the creative force behind The Dresden Dolls, Amanda has amassed mountains of critical acclaim touring the world as vocalist, keyboardist and songwriter for her band. By experimenting with broader musical stylings on Who Killed Amanda Palmer, Amanda showcases endless creativity, exposing herself as a woman whose artistic endeavors have no boundaries.

Who Killed Amanda Palmer began as a minimal affair: Amanda decided to record a solo album for piano and voice, made in her bedroom, finished in a week. During a chance meeting with Ben Folds in Australia, the two bonded over mutual loves and suddenly the record was moved out of the bedroom and into Folds' Nashville-based, piano-filled recording studio. With Ben Folds acting as producer, the songs on Who Killed Amanda Palmer (a name initially meant as a Twin Peaks reference that has since come to take on new meanings for Amanda) began to come alive, resulting in what is some of the best recorded work of her multi-faceted career.

Mixing the magical and the macabre, the mundane and the sentimental, Who Killed Amanda Palmer is a musical tour de force, the culmination of nearly ten years' worth of songwriting. Some songs on the album pop and twist with the intensity of their own subject matter while others are soft and intimate, revealing sides of Amanda not usually seen within her work in The Dresden Dolls. Featuring guest turns from the likes of The Dead Kennedys' East Bay Ray (on "Guitar Hero"), St. Vincent's Annie Clark (on a warped take on Carousel's "What's the Use of Wondrin"), cellist Zoe Keating, and string arrangements by master composer Paul Buckmaster, Who Killed Amanda Palmer gives Amanda's compositions new color via expansive instrumentation and glorious arrangements.

Who Killed Amanda Palmer will feature liner notes written by celebrated graphic novelist Neil Gaimen, with whom Amanda will be collaborating on a photography book in tandem with the album's release. Amanda is set to embark on a tour in support of the album this fall.

The tracklisting for Who Killed Amanda Palmer is as follows:

1. Astronaut
2. Runs in the Family
3. Ampersand
4. Leeds United
5. Blake Says
6. Strength Through Music
7. Guitar Hero
8. Have to Drive
9. What's the Use of Wondrin
10. Melissa Mahoney
11. The Point of It All
12. Another Year

Amanda Palmer's Who Killed Amanda Palmer will be out this fall and to offer you a little clue on the album, Spinner.com tells you a little more about Amanda, producer Ben Folds, and future plans. Read about Amanda Palmer.

Don't forget to give some RR blog love to Chad Sugg, who points out a great Dresden Dolls photo at his site.

AMANDA PALMER TO PLAY WITH THE BOSTON POPS

The Dresden Dolls' songwriter/vocalist/keyboardist Amanda Palmer is set to play two very special, once-in-a-lifetime shows with the legendary Boston Pops on June 19th and June 20th as part of the BSO's Edgefest series, which continues to redefine the boundaries of rock and tradition. The shows will take place at Symphony Hall in Boston.

2008 has been an unbelievable year for Amanda Palmer thus far, and shows no signs of slowing down: in addition to starting an innovative fan-generated merchandise company called Post-War Trade, the Dolls released a new record entitled No, Virginia this May, full of new songs, b-sides and previously unreleased material from the last two years. Amanda and drummer Brian Viglione hit the road soon after the album's release for a string of phenomenal shows across the West Coast, and now Amanda is back in her hometown of Boston, preparing for one of the biggest, most prestigious musical undertakings of her career. As a lifelong resident of the city, constantly contributing to its ongoing aural history, Amanda is the perfect fit for this amazing opportunity.

Each of the shows with The Boston Pops will feature fan favorites from The Dresden Dolls' impressive catalogue, in addition to previews of new songs from Amanda's forthcoming solo album, Who Killed Amanda Palmer, due for release this September. The mixture of Amanda's incredible songwriting, her dynamic live performance and the 123 year-old institution that is The Boston Pops will certainly make for a show that is not to be missed!
