Justin Vivian Bond & Kenny Mellman will be spreading good cheer all this month under their cabaret alter egos, Kiki & Herb. Next week, they begin the "O Come Let Us Adore Them" holiday tour. For it they've worked up a new setlist featuring covers of Billie Eilish's "What Was I Made For?" from Barbie, and Lou Reed's "Heroin," as well as songs by Annie Lennox, Kate Bush, Low, Radiohead, Miley Cyrus and more. The tour includes two hometown NYC shows at Town Hall on December 7 & 8. They're also reissuing their long-out-of-print 2000 album Do You Hear What We Hear? which features covers of songs by ABBA, Radiohead, Nirvana, Kate Bush, Suede and more, with contributions from Rufus Wainwright, Debbie Harry, Molly Ringwald, Isaac Mizrahi, and more. Originally released just on CD, it gets its first-ever vinyl pressing this Friday, December 1. Order yours and listen to it below. In the spirit of all this, we asked Kiki & Herb to tell us about their favorite holiday albums. They each picked five ranging from the classics (A Charlie Brown Christmas, Doris Day, Low) to the more obscure ( ZE Records, Tracey Thorn). Check out their holiday picks and commentary below.
