![]() ![]() So, at this time EA must go backstage to fix the problem and Veronica make a girl come on stage to get a kiss (another soldier in the Veronica Kissing Army Group). Then comes Veronica making a fast burlesque little show before «God help me» where Contessa spit «tea» on the audience, and on stage…just an excuse to make Veronica clean all, so EA can submit her about her request to play the harpsichord during «Unlaced».Īt the end of «Unlaced» (I didn't understand if it was played playback or live, but good show anyway) we hear someone speaking from the backstage on the radio…and the EA microphone goes off big laugh about this technical problem that EA and Veronica can manage with good charming. ![]() «Shalott» is the best song of all the evening: the audience sings very loud and finally I can hear the atmosphere I knew from before… Then EA goes to her harpsichord and ask to the audience to choose between to see her boobs or hear some silence…all the audience choose for the boobs, of course, but she just pretend that we choose to play the song and comes out with «Shalott». ![]() On «Liar» song EA pick up the razor and cut herself on the arms, giving the atmosphere effect even if the blood wasn't real.Īfter «Liar» there's a theatrical dance in flowers, moon and stars on the notes of «The Art of suicide».Īfter the song the man on «Opheliac deluxe edition» tells all about madness and Victorian girls, then on a special dance and magic tricks the ladies sings «I want my innocence back».Īfter that Contessa is on stage alone, to present the other crumpets, eating a big heart («she eat dead people»-EA said). «Opheliac» is the second song, then «Liar». The crumpets (this is the name of the other girls) keep on the show with their «madness» (?!) She jumps on the wheel that hold the shadow screen, and dance (theatrically) all around the stage. Contessa, Aprella and Veronica are the first to come out from the shadow screen, then… here it comes the rat!ĮA moves in the shadow during the intro of the song, and then she comes out in all her beauty. Some old music is on…someone sings too…EA comes on stage at 20.00 (punctually as usual), and, on the «Tick tak» notes the concert begin. This time I've got less time to take photos: the past 2 times i could take photos all the concert time, but this time only 3 songs (why I'm complaining? This is the normal routine for live photographer…I use to it…but i also know that EA's show is the best in the world, so every time is like a new time for me! Hi!hi!). At the price of fourteen pounds per ticket you get everything from a musical performance to a circus show, with world class violin playing and a harpsichord thrown in for good measure.Once inside I did watch for some merchandising…something to read, actually, maybe some magazine with interviews, but nothing, just a few accessorize t-shirts and a poster…mmmhhh… I decide to go at once to the photo area before is too late (difficult passage to get there and the people where increasing and increasing…). So after a whirlwind ride of two hours of none stop singing, dancing and performing the audience is left breathless. If that wasn’t enough, the audience is also treated to burlesque routines as well as numerous other circus-style tricks involving fire and stilts. EA and her band of ‘Bloody Crumpets’ assume dramatic and memorable characters so that every minute between songs is filled with a pantomimesque stage show. Everything is adorned with sequins and diamantes and is designed to show as much skin as physically possible. Once the show starts, you cannot help but be blown away by the large props and glittering (and revealing) costumes. ![]() It is one of the few places where such a wide range of people all gather together because they are incredibly passionate about the same thing. The first thing anyone will notice about an Emilie Autumn concert is the wonderful and somewhat bizarre style of dress – and that’s just the audience! It’s true that the fans appear of the ‘alternative’ kind, but when you begin to look at the people who are there it is amazing to see a collection of people ranging from fourteen to the over-forty’s from across a wide distance, from all different backgrounds. Her music, which has been classified as ‘gothic industrial’ is a spectacular explosion of strong beats and deep (sometimes screamed) lyrics. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Emilie Autumn, she is an American musician unlike any other. On 14 th April I made my boyfriend undertake the two hour drive to Manchester just to see Emilie Autumn in concert. ![]()
