Attention Minneapolis. Tickets for Sia's show at the Fine Line Saturday, April 24th go on sale this Friday, presales on Wednesday via a secret password to be divulged soon on her twitter. I can't promise there will be a Medusa inspired pipe-cleaner hairpiece, but I'll certainly cross my fingers. Her song "Breathe Me" is one of the few songs that can bring tears to my eyes within a few bars (if the mood strikes). To be fair, that might be due to flashbacks to the ending sequence of the series finale to Six Feet Under, but it's still a great cut.
In addition to blowing you away on originals like "Breathe Me," or providing vocals for your favorite Zero 7 tracks ("Destiny" being one of the more recognizable), she also releases haunting covers, like Radiohead's "Paranoid Android." Dance music enthusiasts will remember her voice from notable trance songs like "The Girl You Lost to Cocaine," a feature track from Sander Van Doorn's album Supernaturalistic. The poppy "Buttons" got a lovely trance facelift from Markus Schulz a while back, I was quite fond of the "Return to Coldharbor Remix." Plus, it looks like her website was made exclusively in MS Paint, so she scores some brownie points with me there, as I began my design career with countless hours on Paint.
Her cover of The Church's "Under the Milky Way" is featured in the newest TV ad from Lincoln, which means you and I get a free download here: http://www.lincoln.com/music/
If you don't live in Minneapolis, you're in luck -- she's all over the place this spring.
