Haden Hearts The Who

April 11, 2005

The LA Weekly ran a nice little interview with Petra Haden this week. Haden is a fixture in the LA music scene, as part of both that dog and the Rentals and a session player on albums by Beck to Mike Watt. It was Watt that convinced her to do her acapella reading of “The Who Sell Out,” and her all-vocal, all-cover album is garnering her quite a bit of attention. She also quietly snuck into the Decemberists and is currently on tour stealing hearts across the nation.

The most intriguing mention in the article is the prospect of a live version of Petra Haden: Sings The Who Sell Out.” Putting together a 10 woman choir (and possibly more), Haden is looking to put together the show some time during the summer of 2005.

I’m. Totally. There.
