Vermillion Lies is a sister cabaret. Kim and Zoe (Boekbinder) Vermillion are real life sisters and talented performers, with strange and beautiful songs and strange and beautiful voices.
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, Zoe 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.
'Separated by Birth - One album in two acts has sixteen tracks ranging from retro jazz, to lyrical folk melodies, to raucous circus ballads with toy piano and accordion.
The album features Carla Kihlstedt (Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Tin Hat Trio,) Gino Robair (Splatter Trio, Tom Waits,) and Myles Boisen. Boisen, who recorded the album, is known for his work with Tom Waits, The Tigerlillies and The Club Foot Orchestra.
And for the diehard fans who just absolutely need to know:
Zoe has a bottle cap collection and a chalkboard car.
Kim is an artist who wants to marry a cheesemaker (or two.)
