Evelyn Evelyn was in Minneapolis on Tuesday at the Cedar Cultural Center (a pretty great venue). I spent the night in a migraine fog, so it's probably for the best that I didn't try to get tickets.
Here's the customary pre-show Ninjaview:

Album Absorption 002: A Badly Broken Code
I wasn't going to post again today, but this is pretty timely. Dessa just won three of City Pages' Best-Ofs: Best Local Album of the Last 12 Months, Best Songwriter, and Best Local Girl Made Good. I first saw Dessa at the Doomtree Blowout (IV) at First Ave. I next saw her open for Ani DiFranco at the State Theatre. I'm just starting to sink teeth into her first solo LP, A Badly Broken Code, and so far I love it. (Also if you click through to that review, there are two songs, Go Home, see below, and Matches to Paper Dolls.)
Let's start with an honest-to-god music video: this is Dessa - Dixon's Girl (2010) from Ted Romeo for Doomtree.
This is Dessa - Seamstress (2010) performed for the first time ever (beware of shaky phone-cam footage) at Doomtree Blowout IV (2008).
She also revisits the song Mineshaft from her first EP, False Hopes (2005)
With Mineshaft II (2010)
If I'd been on the ball in January, I'd have known she was live at the Current 20 Jan 2010:
This is video of her in studio talking about the song The Chaconne (2010). Yes, that is Jeremy Messersmith. Is he a big deal elsewhere? Also, Aby Wolf, who I haven't mentioned yet, performs with her for solo shows and is awesome.
She also played live on Seattle's KEXP on 12 Feb 2010: Seamstress, Go Home (2010), and Alibi (2010):

Live Show Log 001: Amanda Fucking Palmer in Reykjavik
Dresden Dolls - Missed Me (2002): performed yesterday by Amanda Fucking Palmer in Reykjavik at a Volcanic Ash Sekrit Ninja Gig while her flight was grounded, recorded by Whitechapellian Iceland Bob:
Towards the end she broke the piano and nearly blew up the PA system (screaming “I´M A VOLCANO!”), before bringing it all to a close with a soft rendition of Leonard Cohen´s “Hallelujah”.
