Still listening and watching surprise guest Kim “Vermillion” Boekbinder opening the set, there was another sound that made people turn their heads by 100°.
It’s been surely bizarre: Imagine the almost naked architecture of an industrial building’s hall from 75 years ago, and a vaudeville figurine in lingerie playing her ukulele right below the ceiling up on an open stair.
With a quiet yet growing voice she started. No mic at all. Not that she was in need of one.
“I’m a creep... I’m a weirdo...”
This has to be the most haunting and emotional interpretation of Radiohead’s “Creep” I ever heard. While playing, singing, and feeling the song Amanda slowly climbed downstairs with the grace of walking on a huge show stairway and went over to the stage.

Sing Me Any Song By Peter Doherty - Can You? (Gig Review)
03.05.: Peter Doherty, Esch-sur-Alzette (Luxembourg), Rockhal Club
[Deutsche Version] I didn’t quite know what to expect when buying my ticket. I had the Babyshambles’ Down In Albion and Shotter’s Nation playing on iTunes every now and then – random play that is, about 20 songs within a pool of 12.000... The ska/reggae bits I don’t like that much, otherwise I was pleased (and curious) enough to check him out.
Doherty went into his set at about 9:45pm, walking... strolling...erm, well, stumbling on and across the stage. I got this awkward feeling – yes, this is what everyone expects and so he starts to fill this role.
