After a change in venue and date, I was really excited to see Sia perform live. I've been a fan of hers since catching "Breathe Me" on the Six Feet Under series finale. Sia's opening act was Har Mar Superstar, a sweaty mess of a man who was completely narcissistic and looked like Ron Jeremy's twin brother. His music seemed alright, though I was so distracted/nauseated by him running around in his underwear that I couldn't enjoy it.Har Mar Superstar's video for "Body Request"
After 45 minutes of that nonsense, Sia and her backing band came out. The entire ensemble were wearing glow in the dark, black light responsive costumes that made them look like stick figures. The entire stage was set up like a child's playroom, with toys and giant LED flowers strewn around. Sia has a lovely voice, and this came across nicely at the show. Sia began performing tunes from her latest album, Some People Have Real Problems, and interspersed the songs with light banter. Sia came across much like Charlize Theron's character in Arrested Development (MR F - and if you catch that reference you get 20 bonus points). The main problem of the show was the LED flowers that decorated the set were so bright that it left my girlfriend and myself with pounding headaches. We left about six songs into her set. If Sia can manage to leave the seizure-inducing lighting behind, I would definitely love to see her in action again.
