DENVER, COLO. (10/2/08) --
From Caesar's Palace in Las
Vegas, Nev., to Moscow, Russia and Braga, Portugal, Vermillion Lies has
charmed audiences the world over with their unique brand of beauty,
silliness, and creativity. Swallow Hill is pleased to welcome the duo as
they entertain at our Halloween Cabaret, dubbed Swalloween, on Friday,
October 31 at 8 p.m. in Daniels Hall.
With songs ranging from lyrical folk ballads to raucous circus marches,
the Vermillion sisters have earned a reputation for an amazing live
performance that enchants audiences of all ages and has everyone
clapping, singing, dancing, and playing along. In the spirit of the
season and this fun event, attendees are encouraged to dress up in
costume and celebrate, cabaret-style.
Real life sisters Zoe and Kim Boekbinder "Vermillion" have spent their
lives honing their craft at clown boot camps and the local dumps, where
they found their favorite instruments like toy piano, accordion,
typewriter, and a BBQ grill. The live show involves the sisters pulling
their odd instruments out of a large trunk onstage before each song,
prompting the audience to ask, "What's in the box?" which, incidentally,
is the name of their brand new album. Vermillion Lies is based in
Oakland, Calif., tours in a bio-diesel van, and uses recycled packaging
printed with vegetable inks.
