St. Vincent Tickets

I don't throw words like "genius" around lightly. Annie Clark is a genius. There is nothing else like St. Vincent. The music is smart and quirky and surprising. And Annie Clark is adorable. All of this might make you think that St. Vincent is for pointy-heads who like pretty girls - not that there is anything wrong with that - but that hardly describes what you get at a St. Vincent performance. Annie Clark's voice is sweet, but her guitar-playing is aggressive (which makes for an unsettling and interesting combination), and the music feels like it is on the edge of chaos, ready to break loose at any moment and go off the rails.

She's incredible!!! Such an amazing talent and artist!!!

Great show! Lighting and sound was excellent and performance by St. Vincent was superb. Opening act was not good and paled in comparison to the headlining act.

I love the Music Box and St. Vincent is world-class.

Her live show is even better than her outstanding albums. She is an incredible artist and you should definitely see her live if you have the opportunity.

perty good show, didn't know the first band, she played well. yes.

St. Vincent did not disappoint, and I had very high expectations. She's almost as adorable and charming as she is talented. Her band was very impressive in support, too. The packed-crowd was very enthusiastic, and Annie was obviously moved by the turnout and the ovations that she received.

I first became interested in St. Vincent after hearing them on Austin City Limits, then I bought their CDs. By chance I saw that they would be playing here in Lawrence, and I had to go. I am so glad I did as I enjoyed hearing them live very much. The live versions of their music are even better than those on the CDs (which are of course very good as well). I must admit that their encore of "Red Lips" seemed a little bit loose, but I still liked it. Annie also did a solo of the Beatles song "I Dig a Pony" which was very cool. She also mentioned that she had a sister that attended school here (KU), that she had visited Lawrence years ago, and that some of here family was in the audience. It was very nice to hear her give the audience some personal information like this. She is a very talented musician, and her music is both unique and enjoyable - at least to me and the packed house that she played to. One technical note: there was a bit of a "buzz" in the sound system, but it wasn't so bad that it adversely affected my overall enjoyment of the music. I hope I get to hear St. Vincent live again one day, and I look forward to new music of theirs in the future.

Annie Clark and her band are amazing, spectacular live as they are on record, althouth I miss some of the more subtle touches in the studio versions of the songs (for example, the out-of-this-world piano that you hear in the studio version of "...Lips..."). Still, they make up for it by showcasing the edgier side of Annie's guitar. The highlight of the live shows for me is to hear the violin and woodwinds interplay with the aggressive lead guitar. I can think of no other touring band that can illuminate the detailsof the music and rock like that. I can't pick a favorite moment, but I'll tell you the least favorite: The pre-show wait at the El Rey. While waiting for the show to start, the idiot DJ of the El Rey must have played the worst, crappiest music ever!, annying the hell out of everybody. Don't these DJs have a clue as to what kind of music the St. Vincent audience might like to hear as a warm-up?

Had a smashing time at the concert! First time at the El Rey... great venue... not too big, not too small... it's juuuuuust right! She is just as fantastic/mesmerizing/awe inspiring in person as she is on her albums.

Annie was great in an intimate concert setting. She primarily played songs from her recent album, Actor, but Paris is Burning and Your Lips are Red were her encore songs. It was fabulous to see her get out the guitar and her voice held true to album quality. Overall: simply beautiful. The opening act was Wildbirds and Peacedrums, and their live performance is quite a bit better than their studio work. They had incredible energy and definitely rocked it. A great pairing.

The venue is great, wherever you standing you feel close to the stage.. Sound and drinks very good. St. Vincent was just very energetic and melodic at the same time.. Great Valentine's Concert

wonderful show. wildbirds put on an excellent performance, this was my first time seeing them and i was pleasantly surprised. would defiantly see and recommend this band. st. vincent was a treat. annie was just lovely.

St. Vincent was perfect. Also enjoyed the opening band Wildbirds & Peacedrums.

The venue of El Rey Theatre had a very warm feeling and the performances felt quite intimate. The opening band Wildbirds & Peacedrums had a very unique sound using percussion instruments to create their music, although I never heard of them before, it was very enjoyable. Then St. Vincent came out and all their songs were stellar and I very much enjoyed the performance Annie Clark showed. She can truly shred on the guitar and I enjoyed the evening immensely.

The show was amazing. St. Vincent is a glory machine as usual.

great time, great venue, they added a little rock to their album sound (no synths) which worked really well.

Simply put, she was amazing. I didn't want to leave at the end of the show.

A transcendent experience. Annie really seemed loose and having fun. I had never seen St. Vincent live, and expected a lot of it to be sequenced loops, but it's all live (with minor exceptions). Annie *really* knows how to grind that guitar, almost reminds me of Hendrix sometimes. She takes the songs further than she does on the albums, opens them up a bit and explores their territory. What a treat! The songs are so perfect already, and then to have her making more of them as you watch... amazing. The lighting and stagecraft was brilliant, and for once THE MIX WAS RIGHT. The mix was perfect, I could hear every sound and her voice was front and center. Yay! Oh, and even the opening act was really good. Best show I've been to in a long time.

I saw St. Vincent at El Rey in Los Angeles and it was easily one of the top performances I have seen all year. Annie is an incredibly gifted vocalist and musician, and her skills translate unbelievably well in a live setting. Still thinking about it sends chills down my spine.
