    About Vermillion Lies
    From Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada to Moscow, Russia and Braga, Portugal Vermillion Lies has charmed audiences the world over with their unique brand of beauty, silliness, and creativity.

    With songs ranging from lyrical folk ballads to raucous circus marches, the Vermillion sisters have earned a reputation for an amazing live performance which enchants audiences of all ages and has everyone clapping, singing, dancing, and playing along.

    Real Life sisters, Zoë and Kim Boekbinder "Vermillion", have spent their lives honing their craft at clown boot camp and the local dump, where they found their favorite instruments like toy piano, accordion, typewriter, and 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, CA, tours in a bio-diesel van, and uses recycled packaging printed with vegetable inks.

    I know it says that tickets, time, etc. is yet to be TBD but the 'headline' says your San Diego show starts at 6pm... please start the show later!

    It says your there for the comic legal defense which implies the show is related to San Diego Comic Con, and the Convention proper doesn't 'end' till 7-8pm, and even then there are panels scheduled up to midnight and I would HATE to (a) miss the show and risk having others miss it!

    This will be my 12th consecutive year at SDCC and the most excited I've been in at least 5 and its all because not only do I get to see you, my favorite band, perform, I finally get to expose (oh!) my so. cal. friends to you and see you with them.

    So anyway - you got at least one guy insanely jazzed for the show - I just beg you to roll out the madness a couple hours later than seemingly planned
