Sandi Thom lives up to punk rocker status
Published Saturday, Aug 5 2006, 13:37 BST | By David Cribb
Sandi Thom was ejected from her hotel earlier this week by police in LA.
The Scottish singer, who topped the charts last month with 'I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker', was partying in the Hotel Grafton on Sunset Boulevard with her band and fans after a show in the city. When the group ignored staff requests to bring the party to a close, the LAPD stepped in.
A source said: “Sandi played a gig on Monday night at the Hotel Cafe in LA. After the show Sandi, her band and some fans went back to her hotel to celebrate. They were tearing it up at the pool bar making an almighty noise and were promptly told to leave. So they went upstairs to Sandi’s room to continue the party.
“After various warnings to keep it down they were escorted from their room by six LA police officers and ended up sleeping on Sunset Boulevard.”
