Kurt Cobain's Daughter, Tegan And Sara On Amanda Palmer Side-Project Album

Frances Bean Cobain, late Nirvana singer/guitarist Kurt Cobain's daughter with Courtney Love, will make her recording debut on the upcoming album from Evelyn Evelyn, Dresden Dolls singer Amanda Palmer's side-project.
The self-titled debut disc is out March 30 through Eleven Records. It's produced by Palmer and bandmate Jason Webley.
Cobain appears on a track called "MySpace," which also features guest spots from Tegan And Sara, My Chemical Romance singer/guitarist Gerard Way, Weird Al Yankovic, Andrew W.K. and author Neil Gaiman, who's also Palmer's fiance.
We can only imagine what that tune is going to sound like. We're picturing a weird, keyboard-laden freaky cabaret (Palmer) tune about unrequited love (Tegan And Sara), mixed with angsty (Cobain), hyperactive (Andrew W.K.) goth-punk (Way) that's actually a parody (Yankovic) with a bizarro sci-fi twist (Gaiman).
Evelyn Evelyn sounds pretty insane and awesome — and typically Palmer — since according to The Guardian, she's doing a concept record about two "conjoined twins" named Eva and Lyn Neville who have "spent their lives trapped in the circus industry."
Ah, yes. It wouldn't be a Dresden Dolls-related project without some kind of circus freaks.
Palmer and Webley "discovered" them in 2007, according to a three-song, seven-inch EP released in 2007. Things get even more awesomely twisted and hilarious when you consider there's even an Evelyn Evelyn Twitter page.
There's little other information about Evelyn Evelyn right now, but so far it features at least four other tracks in addition to "MySpace": "Evelyn Evelyn," "A Campaign Of Shock And Awe," "Have You Seen My Sister Evelyn?" and "Elephant Elephant."
You can hear "Have You Seen My Sister Evelyn?" below:
