"I see in Barack a real fighter for fairness and inclusion..."
She sounded absolutely flawless.
Cyndi Lauper's 75 minute set featured everything you'd hope to hear ('Girls Just Wanna Have Fun', 'Time After Time', 'She Bop', 'When You Were Mine', 'Money Changes Everything') alongside a handful of tracks from her new LP, Bring Ya To The Brink. The latter tunes transport Cyndi back to her early dance roots. Each and every Brink ditty sounded tremendous and defiant in the 6000 capacity auditorium. Perhaps my personal highlight of the evening would be the encore opening collaboration on Hedwig & The Angry Inch's 'Midnight Radio' with John Cameron Mitchell. JCM very rarely performs the cult classic's selections anymore and to hear the anthem sung so passionately was an immense treat. Visit Cyndi at her MySpace page. Enjoy a duo of up close & personal photos below.

Bring Ya To The Brink is out in late May.
This year's acts:
$1 from the profit of each CD and full album download is being donated to the Human Rights Campaign (learn more about the HRC here). Check out the album's full track listing below. The physical record drops on August 7th - although it's available digitally right now.
Dresden Dolls: Impressive. Won over a reluctant crowd. 'Coin-Operated Boy' was met with huge applause, as was the Jacque Brel cover. Class act, as per usual. Ace.
Erasure: Electro-pop gods prove why they got the title in the first place. 'A Little Respect', 'Chains Of Love' + 'Oh L'Amour' met with rapturous approval. Biggest cheers of the night.
The MTV-owned Logo cable network will be hosting this summer's first annual True Colors Tour.
