Brightest Young Things

I don't think the State Theatre in Falls Church, VA ever has a bad show. Now, when you throw in one half of the Dresden Dolls, Amanda Palmer what do you get? A house packed full of drama and theater kids.
Amanda Palmer played an amazing, intense show for a huge crowd that applauded her every song. She powered passionately through almost all of the tracks on the Who Killed Amanda Palmer? laced with a treat here and there, such as Coin-Operated Boy the Dresden Doll's self-titled album. If that didn't get the crowd going then the highly controversial Oasis sure did. To top things off Amanda played a song with her dad in the name of tradition when playing in the DC area.
