Pushing Imaginary Buttons

Wednesday night I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Sia in concert @ the Paradise. For those of you who haven't heard of Sia, she used to be the lead vocalist for Zero 7, an band that Zach Braff used for some soundtracks. One of her singles, "Breathe Me," was also used for the series finale of "Six Feet Under." Anyway, Sia's performance was amazing. Not only is she an amazing songwriter, but she also has a lot talent as a singer and great stage presence. I really enjoyed her set - I think I knew all of the songs except for 2, which is interesting because I really only started listening to her a few weeks ago. Haha, but I think listening to her performance on kcrw.com really got her songs in my head... I think she performed the exact same set list, plus a few other songs. One of the other songs that she performed was "Destiny," which was awesome because it is one of my favorite Zero 7 songs.

So Sia and her band started the set with this great up-tempo, makes-you-wanna-dance song called "Buttons." It addition to the amazingness of the song, all of the performers started off the show wearing these hilarious/creative neon-tape, stick-figure costumes. You really have to see it to appreciate it, so here's a little video from the end of that song. Buttons If you listen closely, I do believe that I am the first person to "wooo!" at the end of the song. I was a little excited, sue me.

Here's a video of her performance of Breath Me. (Also one of my favorites)

*Aside: I'm pretty sure I know who was took these videos, he was standing a little infront and to the left of me*

I hope she comes back to Boston soon :)
