We've been promoting Emilie Autumn's Metro appearance for months, before and after her Halloween show was postponed. But today is finally the day! Click here for some of our past coverage.
World-class violinist. Fashion icon. Famously bipolar. The list goes on,
but one thing is certain: We're talking about Emilie Autumn. With world
tours, glossy magazine covers, and guest spots on the albums of such
artists as Courtney Love (with whom she performed on Leno and
Letterman), Otep, Billy Corgan, and TV's 'Metalocalypse' under her
corset strings, Emilie Autumn's devilishly dark lyrics, metal-shredding
violin solos, pink-glittered pasties, and industrial-strength voice
reinvent "gothic" for the masses, and goths have never had so much fun.
More akin to a Broadway musical than a standard rock performance, the
Los Angeles-born starlet's highly theatrical stage show is a sexy circus
of glam-rock burlesque, backed by a scantily-clad girl band known to
EA's devoted fans as the Bloody Crumpets.
Featuring EA's signature
electric violin pyrotechnics, heartbreakingly lush orchestrations,
hard-core beats, and menacing lyrics growled with enough intensity to
make your hair stand on end, the resulting noise is a harpsichord-heavy
romp through Victorian asylums where screaming is allowed and girls
always get revenge.

**Due to a recent injury, Sleigh Bells have had to reschedule dates of their Fall 2012 tour.**
The Brooklyn duo known as Sleigh Bells emerged in the Fall of 2009 with rhythmic pop songs that combine overdriven guitar riffs and sugary female vocal melodies. Guitarist/producer Derek Miller teamed up with singer Alexis Krauss after he happened to serve her and her mother at a Brazilian restaurant in Brooklyn. As proof of their winning formula, Sleigh Bells quickly earned the adoration of critics at the New Yorker, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, The New York Times, and more. Their debut album, Treats, released on Mom + Pop Music in May 2010, ended up on over 150 Best-Of lists for that year. Their newest, Reign of Terror, produced by Miller, is one of the most highly anticipated albums of 2012.
It’s no surprise that a tawny pocket of the American south called Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, spat out pompadour-sporting bluegrass sensation JD McPherson. Always a color-within-the-lines type of guy, painter-turned-musician McPherson approaches his brass-coated blue-eyed soul with laser-beam focus. McPherson’s debut album Signs & Signifiers was released this past April to overwhelming acclaim and was praised for its wide span of influences ranging from Fats Domino to Led Zeppelin to Wu-Tang Clan. Smooth-as-bourbon upright bass and rockabilly piano trills add theatricality to McPherson’s rootsy compositions depicting Cadillac convertibles, ramshackle farmhands, and pin-curled beauties. The juxtaposition between McPherson’s suave croons and primal vocal rips lends a jagged edge to his live performances and laces his fully loaded bombastic rockabilly arrangements with intrigue. McPherson’s appearance at Metro on October 12 is part of a worldwide tour supporting Signs & Signifiers.
