Further Validation That KC Rocks

Get this! For those of you who don't know, Amanda Palmer of The Dresden Dolls (if you don't have a copy of their self-titled CD, you simply must get one) does a bit of blogging/online-journaling herself, and recently had something cool to say about the show they played in Kansas City on October 17th.

In an excerpt from her 10/22 posting, she writes:
the local shows in the south have been pretty well attended and the people we've been meeting have been inspiring and beautiful. performers have just begun to emerge from the woodwork in different places and the brigade is gaining momentum. kansas city was a trip and a half...we flew in for one show to support pj harvey and sonic youth at a large theater. since we'd been getting radio play (a lot of it) we were astounded to actually play to a captive audience of about 2000 folks who were familiar with the album and completely into the show.....we'd expected to feel like an opener (with everybody sort of milling in and curiosly checking us out, at best). it felt incredible, quite a step up for our wee band. pj harvey cancelled (something having to do with a missed flight or a canadian border holdup). i was disappointed not to be able to meet her, but we did get to play a longer set. the folks from sonic youth were plenty friendly and had very kind things to say and share.

...and this is just one of the things that shows how much Kansas City doth rock.
