Amanda Palmer & The Grand Theft Orchestra have done things today:
1. Put a %age of tickets for the autumn tour on pre-sale through Amanda's website;
2. Put the new album, 'Theatre Is Evil' on pre-sale; and
3. Posted the first video of a song from the album, 'Want It Back'.
So, naturally, it is my job as a fan to respond to Amanda's throw-down by:
1. Going to her site a mere half hour after the pre-sale started (that is, as soon as I got home from work) to buy tickets to the London gig at Koko to find it had already sold out. Tickets will be generally on public sale on Friday this week, so I'll simply hold my breath (metaphorically) until then.
2. Pre-ordered the album. I know I've already bought it through Kickstarter but that'll be a different version so I need to get the public version as well (that's what fans do). If you pre-order you get an immediate download of three tracks from the album, including 'Want It Back'.
3. Watched the video, loved it, and then posted it below for you to see and hear as well. If you don't love the '80s synth riffs then you have no pop soul.
I should point out that the video includes both tittage and Tasmania-age and is well worth looking at and listening to. It was painstakingly filmed in stop-motion as the lyrics to the song are written over Amanda's body and then spread like wildfire. This was made in Australia after the album had been recorded and looks great. Take a look and then head on over to Amanda's site to buy tickets and pre-order the record. You won't regret it, she and her lads give good gig!
