Chapter Three: The Heart of the Order
On any busy night in Los Angeles, a lineup like this one might be overlooked. And if you were to do so, it would be a tragedy.
The beginnings of this presentation date back circa 2006 upon the arrival of Lenka to America via Australia. Her debut as a solo artist to Los Angeles was considered pretty momentous for anyone who had heard Decoder Ring's 2005 album Somersault or have a fascination with the Australian/New Zealand music scene or was recently given a copy of the 2005 horror movie "Lost Things" -- like we were. So six months in the making we happily present to you, Lenka... Shortly after, we then became obsessed with a one Jeremy Jay who many consider moments away from idol status. We found this to be absurd until we heard Dreamland, which put us into such a state that certain unmentionable, blasphemous things were done to its paper doll cutout packaging that has now rendered it completely un-eBayable... Thirdly, Ms. Correatown. She may have tired of us by now but the feeling is not and will never be mutual. Not while she teases us with bits of her upcoming third album, guest appearances with Petracovich last week at Spaceland, and hearing her lovely croon grace Eleni Mandell's Miracle of Five... You might be able to guess by her clever name that Ema and the Ghosts is just one girl. One girl that will seduce you with her coquettish balladry faster than you can say Lolita-esque. This girl is a star and she doesn't even know it yet. Those of course make the brightest stars... After we wiped away the tears and the hair on the back of our neck laid to rest, we nervously contacted Tenlons Fort after one of his recent shows then prepared for rejection but instead received a warm reception. This nomadic singer-songwriter, whose album The Golden Handshake was clearly (to us) one of the best of 2006, settles in Los Angeles from time to time and so we are deeply honored that this next time will be our time... This show also marks the debut of The Cobra Lilies. You might recognize them when they appear on stage but you may not recognize the sounds that will emanate from their banjo/autoharp magistery.
