5. Marquis of Vaudeville

A truly unique band from Dallas. Best described as alternative/carnivalesque rock/psychedelic punk cabaret. I don’t know how to do a “for fans of,” but perhaps I can say if you liked the music from The Devil’s Carnival, or just Emilie Autumn, you’ll like Marquis of Vaudeville. I’m sharing the first song I listened to, and I highly encourage you to check out more.

I can remember being at CD Exchange when they still had portable CD players set up so customers could sample albums. I decided to give Tonight the Stars Revolt! a shot after reading about PM5K in a magazine. I loved it, and that led to me being quite the Powerman 5000 fan for a while.
