Earlier this year I learned of a fantastic Aussie singer named Lenka who completely stole my heart with her debut album and had me itching for the release of her second album Two. When that album was released, I fell even more in love with Lenka … and became desperate to see her live. She played a sold out show at The Troubador in West Hollywood, CA and I just couldn’t get in to see her. As fortune would have it, Lenka was playing a show here in the Detroit area the same week I would be home to see my parents for Father’s Day. Last night, I finally got to see her live … and her live performance FAR exceeded my expectations. She was amazing.
To open the show, we got to see a great band from Brooklyn, NY called Elizabeth and the Catapult and they were a very nice surprise. Great songs, beautiful vocals and great stage presence:
The band was so good, I had to buy their album right on the spot. They were an EXCELLENT warm up act for Lenka. Here are a few photos that I snapped of Lenka‘s performance:
Lenka played a very long, excellent setlist of songs including a great cover of the Dusty Springfield classic I Only Wanna Be With You. The only song she didn’t perform that I was hoping to hear was The End of the World. Here are some videos from Lenka‘s show. First up, my fave song off her new album, Roll With the Punches:
I Only Wanna Be With You (Dusty Springfield cover):
The Show:
I brought Sarah and David with me and we all had the best time. I’m telling you right now … Lenka‘s album Two will deffo end up on my Top Music of 2011 year end list … believe that. If you get the chance to see her in concert, you MUST! She is just so talented … I love her!
After the show, we got to chat for a bit and she graciously signed a setlist and posed for a photo with me:
It turns out she is a fan of Pink is the new Blog but, I can assure you, I am the bigger fan of her music. It’s been ages since I’ve been able to see a concert here in Detroit and I’m just so happy that Lenka got to be my latest Detroit show. Check her out, I think you will LOVE her :D
Tonight, Sarah, Mark, David and I are gonna catch a 3D showing of Green Lantern. I hope it doesn’t suck … like, really. Happy Friday, y’all!! Happy Weekend!!
