a couple pieces of information regarding the tour:
• see your city on the list, but see it with an “18+” right next to it? and more importantly, does that 18+ make you a sad panda? fret not, comrade: we are working on some ALL AGES ninja-gigs which’ll be sprinkled throughout the tour.
• i WARN you, we may add one or two shows in more out-of-the-way places, but for now, this is what’s solid.
• when you’re ordering tickets, you’ll see the option to buy a copy of the record (digitally) along with your purchase. i’m not telling you not to do this, but we WILL be posting the record at my site for VeryFuckingCheap + Donation when this shiznit goes live on our end.
• GO, GO, GO buy tickets before they’re gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• to make up for you folks bummin’ that some of the gigs are 18+ even though i tried really hard to make them all ages. my gift to you: my brand new single – “map of tasmania” – completely for free (or you can donate if you feel inclined) is out NOW at
music.amandapalmer.net – hal ritson (aka
the young punx) and i worked on it together. expect a blog all about the origin and evolution of the song, but for now…BEHOLD!
see you so so soon, my warm little vegemites…..
