Emy Reynolds, Theresa Andersson & Lenka @ Hotel Cafe, 9/11/08

Truth matters. Community matters. Your support makes both possible. LAist is one of the few places where news remains independent and free from political and corporate influence. Stand up for truth and for LAist. Make your year-end tax-deductible gift now.

Last Thursday, Australian singer Lenka (MySpace) performed the second night of her month-long residency at the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood, backed by openers Emy Reynolds (MySpace) and New Orleans-based Theresa Andersson (MySpace), and locals Caitlin Crosby (MySpace) and The Ventriloquists (MySpace) completing the evening's lineup.

Lenka is VH1's latest You Oughta Know artist and her song "Don't Let Me Fall" was in the series premiere of 90210. In addition, her self-titled album streets next Tuesday (it's already available on iTunes), and next Wednesday she makes her late night debut with an appearance on Late Night With Conan O'Brien.

As for upcoming local shows, Lenka's are tonight and next Thursday at the Hotel Cafe, and she will be a part of the Hotel Cafe Tour that ends on November 18th at the Henry Fonda Theatre.

Special thanks to Emy Reynolds, Theresa Andersson, Lenka, and Hotel Cafe.

Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead.
