Live at the El Rey, Los Angeles. How to describe Emilie Autumn? An eclectic mix of cabaret, electronica and glam rock (which she’s sometimes described as “Victoriandustrial”), this American singer-songwriter, poet, and violinist is definitely one out of the box. Perhaps we should just leave it to Emilie to give you an idea: “Well, if you’ve ever lacquered on black nail varnish, sported striped stockings, danced to German industrial music, would commit criminal acts for a cup of tea, have a thing for electric violins, an even bigger thing for musical theatre, participated in a shadow cast of cult films set in circuses, or you love someone who has, then you’ve probably seen my mug before.” We caught this amazing show at the legendary El Rey in LA back in 2012 when she was on tour to promote her then current album Fight Like A Girl. She’s been a bit quiet on the music front in recent years, so even more reason to dig into this show.
