Smile It Confuses People

2006 release by this singer/songwriter, who is making waves with her hit single 'I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (With Flowers in My Hair)', included here. The girl that webcast from her basement in Tooting to thousands of people across the globe now releases her debut single 'I wish I was a punk rocker (with flowers in my hair)'. Too broke to go on the road, 24 year old singer/songwriter Sandi Thom decided to set up a webcam in her South London flat and staged a three week world tour from the basement. She spread the word about the '21 Nights from Tooting' tour via Myspace and her own site, inviting fans to watch the tour live on the web or in person at the very modest underground venue of her basement. Pulling in an audience of 70 on the first night, news of the gigs spread like wildfire on the internet and by the end of the 'tour' she had 100,000 web viewers from as far afield as Russia, the USA and Pakistan. BMG. 2006.
