Amanda Palmer and the Grand Theft Orchestra performed two shows last week at Public Works in San Francisco, CA, as part of their pre-release tour behind Palmer’s second solo album Theatre is Evil, due out on September 11, 2012. Glide staff photographer Joan Bowlen captured the two different shows– one of which was a plugged-in “rock” show (Friday, 07/13) and then a stripped-down, raw acoustic performance “art” show (Thursday, 07/12), which was open only to Kickstarter backers. The rest of the gallery focuses on the art Palmer commissioned for the record, which is being taken on tour with them this summer.
