Petra Haden: Difference between revisions

Haden has been a member of several bands, including [[that dog.]] and [[the Rentals]]. Haden contributed violin to {{PN|Weezer}} cover of the [[Green Day]] song "[[Worry Rock]]," released in [[2003]]. Haden is the daughter of the jazz bassist Charlie Haden and the triplet sister of bassist [[Rachel Haden]] (her bandmate in that dog.) and cellist [[Tanya Haden]] (married to singer and actor [[Jack Black]]).

In August of 2000, Petra sustained severe injuries and fell into a coma following a car accident in Venice, California, breaking several ribs, her pelvis, and nearly losing an eye.<ref>Hochman, Steve. "A Mixed Bill, but a Common Cause" ''Los Angeles Times''. 28 November 2000. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-nov-28-ca-58003-story.html</ref> Doctors inserted a permanent metal rod in her right leg. Her hospital stay and subsequent physical and cognitive rehabilitation therapy resulted in a successful recovery, but incurred significant medical bills. As Haden lacked medical insurance, the music community coordinated a string of benefit concerts to aid in her recovery and medical costs. These benefits included performances by Beck, [[Tenacious D]], Petra's brother Josh Haden (Spain), Stephen Perkins, The GoGo’s, Vincent Gallo, Sean Lennon, Miss Murgatroid, and others. A [[To Benefit Petra Haden|double 7"-vinyl benefit record]] was released by Vegas Records in [[2003]], including exclusive tracks by [[Weezer]], [[Phantom Planet]], Ben Kweller, and [[AM Radio]]. Haden recovered and was back to work recording music by 2003.
