The LUSTY REVEL WENCHES are here from the slums of 18th century London to sing you songs about the degradation of life on the streets, the blue-ruin Madame Geneva brings, and why the 21st century consists of naught but devil-drawers, Captain Grands, & draggle-tails.
Gallied to your gullet with paper-skulls & mopuses? Well! Grab a dram, hike up your petticoats, leave your respective house or alley and ENJOY THE BLASTED SHOW!

NEVERMIND THE SILENCE; HERE'S THE WENCHES!
We know things have been quiet on our western front, but never fear! The game is afoot! Even as you attempt to reading this confounding text on the town notice board, or where ever our writings disappear to, we Wenches are hard at work, figuring out logistics and preparin' for the spring. The streets are hard to brave in winter times, so we're crouchin' in alleyways and frequenting brothels. We even recently discovered THE DANCING LADIES OF VAUXHALL GARDENS, who have agreed to wiggle their panniers in time with our music. We will be performing again, ladies and gents--just not for a wee bit. Keep yer eyes triple-peeled, however... much madness and glee is to follow!

WHERE NEXT? Who knows! Look for clues! Who are these dollymops & dollyfops? Why are they dressed like that? Why do they keep dedicating their shows to Terry Gilliam? WHAT THE RUDDY HELL IS GOING ON?!

Playing FUCK THE BACK ROW! was a wonderful experience enjoyed by all these "Lusty Revel Wenches". Amanda Palmer & Co. know how to entertain The picture show was a delight, as were the other performances. Both Amanda & Brian, collectively "The Dresden Dolls", were kind to us poor downtrodden prostitutes. The audience was encouraging--truly a sea of kindness in a cruel, class-ruled world. Cheers to vaudeville & fucking back rows all over the bleedin' place!
