Sia Furler, an Australian-born singer, provided the driving vocal force behind many of mellow brit-pop group Zero 7's hits.  Now, with the explosion of independent rock in the U.S., her solo career is taking off, and she is finally getting the attention she deserves.  She has been touring the nation supporting her latest solo album, titled Some People Have Real Problems.  Sia arrived at Detroit's Magic Stick on March 1st, 2008 and despite being sick put on a very unique and wild show, with a little help from the colorful Har Mar Superstar...

An exciting new show opened this weekend at the Detroit Artists' Market.  The show, which runs from Feb. 29, 2008 to April 5, 2008, showcases the talent of some of Detroit's hottest young artists studying at the Cranbrook Art School.  The show is for a good cause -- to give these artists the exposure they need and scholarship money.  Check out these exclusive pictures of the show. Hopefully, you'll appreciate some of these local artist's talent and go see the show for yourself in person...
