The Sugar Club may be one of the only place I enjoy going to in Dublin for live music. It looks like a cinema-theatre, a place where everyone can see what is happening on the stage while being seated. Amanda confirms later on her appreciation of the venue “This looks like fucking civilized”. The gig was sold out, which was no surprise because this is the front woman of the internationally known punk cabaret band “The Dresden Dolls”.
It did not seem to take that much to continually grab the attention of the audience; A keyboard and a Ukulele. The most talented artists have the ability to impress anyone with barely anything. She sang a couple of songs by “The Dresden dolls “ along with her new songs including “Astronaut” for the opening of the show. This is the first single taken from her recently released debut solo album “Who killed Amanda Palmer”. Palmer did not seem to be dead but rather full of energy as she ended the show by playing a cover of Radiohead’s “Creep” on the ukulele while the entire crowd was singing along. People stood in queue blocking the exit door as the rest of the crowd had to wait for them to leave but I did not blame them.
