performed one-off show at Scala

After touring in promotion of Speak for Yourself , she did a one-off show at Scala in London in February 2006. She then performed at Coachella and went on a three-week-long tour of the US in May 2006. Heap recorded an a cappella cover of the Leonard Cohen song ” Hallelujah ” for the season three finale of The O.C. , which premiered in May 2006. By mid-2006, Heap was one of the most popular musical acts on MySpace , with more than one and a half million profile users. She was variously referred to in the media as the first “download diva” for her robust online presence and independent success online in 2006. Heap’s music was used as the soundtrack for Pool (No Water) , a one-act physical theatre play written by Mark Ravenhill and originally performed by Frantic Assembly , which opened at the Drum Theatre in Plymouth in September 2006. At the 2006 MTVU Woodie Awards , which was voted on by college students, Heap tied with Arctic Monkeys for the most nominations with three (for Best Emerging Artist, Most Original Artist, and Most Downloaded for “Hide and Seek”), though she won none. She wrote and performed the song “Glittering Cloud”, which was based on the plague of locusts , as part of an event called the Margate Exodus sponsored by Artangel in November 2006, where ten artists each performed one song based on one of the Plagues of Egypt in Margate . The songs were compiled in the 2006 album Plague Songs . Heap toured the US in late 2006 with beatboxer Kid Beyond , singer-songwriter Levi Weaver , and electronic musician Pixelh8 , whom she found through MySpace, as opening acts.
