Sia @ Hotel Cafe

Awhile back the Wang mentioned Sia about her song being used by Six Feet Under for their finale. Never having watched Six Feet Under, but good friend Mr. Pirate has said that the conclusion was a good one.

Sia is originally from Australia. In her earlier appearances on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic (ZIPed MP3 of that session), she explained that she was drunk in London when her friend asked her to go sing. Her first album seems a little british poppy. But her second solo album seems to be a little closer to Zero 7, whom she sings with. This second album is a little more mature including the famous song from Six Feet Under, Breathe Me. (Live from the above session) The session is rather entertaining with Sia mentioning how she will be going to the desert to get drunk.

Yesterday (1/10/06) she did another session with KCRW and here’s a stream of that from KCRW’s website . This time, no alcohol, but some rather interesting discussions about lips…

Still none the less, Sia will have a live performance @ The Hotel Café tonight at 8p. Nic Harcourt of Morning Becomes Eclectic said that the show is sold out. Which can happen, due to Sia’ recent Six Feet Under fame. Even Sia said in yesterday’s session that her label just dropped her right before this Six Feet Under event. And now she is uber famous because of it. Though Breath Me is a great song. After listening to these 2 KCRW sessions, u would never guess the singer of such a serious song would be some one like Sia. She seems very funny and rather entertaining. Which saddens the Wang that he cannot make the Hotel Café concert tonight. But for those of u can, please go check it out. Start early, the line at Hotel Café gets huge when big acts show up. Or u can just linger in the alley on the side and listen to it through that one fan thing, ghetto style.
