Oh god this sounds dreadful and amazing at the same time

Frances Bean Cobain is to appear on a Dresden Dolls side project Evelyn Evelyn:

"[Dresden Dolls] provide musical accompaniment to a pair of "conjoined twins who ... spent their lives trapped in the circus industry". According to the album's principal conceit, Lyn and Eva Neville are real people, with a real Twitter account, born in 1985 and sharing "three legs, two arms, two hearts, three lungs and a single liver".

[...]

The teenager reportedly appears on a track called My Space, "an anthemic 80s power ballad" with "gang vocals" by Cobain, Weird Al Yankovic, Tegan and Sara, My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way and Palmer's fiance, the writer Neil Gaiman. Other gang-members may yet be announced."


Supergroups that were probably worse than this:
- Velvet Revolver
- Cher, Neneh Cherry, Chrissy Hynde & Eric Clapton
- Mike & The Mechanics
- anything involving Damon Albarn

Supergroups that were probably better than this judging by their band names on wikipedia:
- Sixx AM (Nikki Sixx plus some dudes out of Guns n Roses)
- Cyberaktif (cEvin Key & Dwayne Goettel of Skinny Puppy, with Bill Leeb of Front Line Assembly/Delerium)
- Sinergy (Alexi Laiho of Children of Bodom and Roope Latvala of Stone together with former Dimmu Borgir keyboardist Kimberly Goss - Dimmu Borgir are AWESOME btw)

I was unaware until now of the Cobain connection, but Evelyn Evelyn are pretty good - I got their first single just because it was one of the excellent Jason Webley's odd little collaborative 7"s, not even realising that the other half of the band this time was Amanda Palmer. Not entirely worksafe vid here (contains retro animated naughtiness). (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8wvuu_evelyn-evelyn-have-you-seen-my-sist_creation)

Man, ever since Neil Gaiman started dating Amanda Palmer I just dunno.

I'm sure a lot of ppl feel it, they just won't say so for fear of being devoured by goth girls.

(Disclaimer: I'm sort of a goth girl)
