Last week Amanda Palmer and Jason Webley's (somewhat controversial) project Evelyn/Evelyn took over the Lucille Lortel Theatre on Christopher Street for five consecutive nights, and at the end of it all we hosted a little party for them at Satellite Lounge in Williamsburg. This took place Saturday night, just around the Witching hour, and here are some photos from the evening—but be warned (or enticed), they include stripping for strangers and John Cameron Mitchell molesting a doll! more ›

We'll be hosting a little invite-only party for Amanda Palmer this Saturday night, following her fifth and final Evelyn/Evelyn show at NYC's Lucille Lortel Theatre, and we want you there! There will be wine... and that's about all we can say for now. If you want to be a part of the intimate gathering (which will take place around 11 p.m. on Saturday night), we will be inviting a couple of readers, you'll just have to sign up for our indispensable daily newsletter! We'll be putting all the contest details in there, to be delivered directly to your inbox sometime overnight. more ›

When Amanda Palmer first started getting the PR wheels in motion for her new project, titled Evelyn/Evelyn, there were a few bumps in the road. First, not very happy with the conjoined twins fictional backstory, some disabilities groups got riled up.

The lovely and talented Miss Amanda Palmer emailed us this morning with a video of her lip-dubbing (or as she calls it: a "karaoke verité" of) Tegan and Sara's song "Hell," filmed all over Union Square and parts of Brooklyn. She actually seems to have managed to frighten some tough-skinned New Yorkers! And are those gutter punks or NYU students she's with at the 2:46 mark? more ›

Amanda Palmer coined the term and genre "Brechtian punk cabaret" for her band The Dresden Dolls so that critics wouldn't describe them as Goth. After two albums with the Dolls and a live show that has earned a reputation for doubling as a circus act, she is just beginning her first tour on her own. Her upcoming solo album sports the Twin Peaks-inspired title "Who Killed Amanda Palmer?" and will be released in September alongside a book with same title that is a collaboration between Palmer and graphic novelist Neil Gaiman. Tonight Amanda brings her unique brand of theatricality into town with a show at Spiegelworld. She talked to Gothamist last week about blogging, opening herself up to new collaborations, and what Britney Spears's next tour should look like. more ›

Last week we lost a dear friend and old contributor at Gothamist, Ben Chappel. We wanted to take a moment to remember the work he did and the wonderful person he was. more ›
