Like it says on the YouTube wrapper…

At 8 in 8’s first and only live performance they follow a twitter suggestion to perform a mash up of Ben Folds’ song “You Don’t Know Me” while Neil Gaiman reads a story he wrote for the back of Amanda Palmer’s “Who Killed Amanda Palmer” Album and book project.
Watch in HD for the best audio/video quality.

8 in 8 are:
Ben Folds
Amanda Palmer
Neil Gaiman
Damian Kulash (of OK Go)

Ben on grand piano
Amanda on drums
Neil reading/vocals
Damian on tambourine


The group wrote and recorded 6 songs in 12 hours the night before in a project where they aimed to record 8 songs in 8 hours.
