Not bad for the Atlanta-born singer who is currently touring the country and plans on releasing her second album sometime next month. EDGE's Bryen Dunn spoke with the singer about her show, her musical tastes and her gay fans.

Given that Paulo (also known as "Lord of the Drums") has played Black Party twice before, this year's version of the Saint-at-Large's Rites make this Paulo's Triple Crown, as it were.

But it wasn't always that way, for go-go dancers can trace their lineage way back to the early 1960s, when women began dancing at bars like New York's Peppermint Lounge.

There's anger in the air. Revolutionary fervor. Another headline reads: -openbracket-italic-closebracket-GOVERNMENT DEMOLISHED. NEW BLACK PARTY APPEARS.-openbracket-/italic-closebracket- Taken from the Spanish term "golpe de estado," golpe means coup d'etat: the sudden overthrowing of a state government-which means that, once again, this year's -openbracket-link|http://www.saintatlarge.com/|Black Party-closebracket- invite has caught the American zeitgeist and the revolutionary zeal in the vox populi with uncanny prescience. The Great Recession, with its discomfiting parallels to the final years of the Weimar Republic, has unleashed the demons of debauchery and decadence, with a burning desire for a totally new order-and that's where Black Party XXXI commences.

Why a British duo sought after for their melodic and musically rich sound by the biggest names in the music industry to headline the White Party? We'll let him explain it: "After last year's 20th anniversary of the party, I wanted to break out of the same mold, take a different angle, get internationally known DJs. Everyone 25 and under kept saying, 'Freemasons! Freemasons! Freemasons!'"

The paparazzi-themed evening made every chamber member a star for the night - EDGE has the pics!

The skyline will immediately remind you of New York, but after you land, you'll feel you're in a suburb of Milan. Before long, however, you'll experience a patchwork quilt of Paris, Tokyo, Athens and Istanbul, among other cities.
