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.

About
ST. VINCENT IN CONCERT:
Possessing a rare combination of art-school appeal and mainstream accessibility, St. Vincent's Annie Clark is well on her way to full blown pop stardom. From her collaborations with David Byrne and Sufjan Stevens to her acclaimed work as St. Vincent, Clark has demonstrated an unbridled creativity and commitment to pop experimentation, making her a favorite with fans and critics alike. Her recordings may be stunning, but it's her talents as a performer that really make Clark stand out — taking the stage in an architectural gown, Clark's otherworldly movements and ethereal vocals are the stuff of legend, making her 2014 tour dates a must for any fan of true avant-pop spectacle.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born in Oklahoma, Annie Clark, a.k.a. St. Vincent, took up the guitar at age 12, going on to play in her high school's jazz band as a teenager. After spending three years at Boston's Berklee College of Music in the early '00s, Clark dropped out to pursue real-world musical experience, joining the Polyphonic Spree for their European tour. In 2006, she left the band to join Sufjan Steven's touring band, beginning to record as St. Vincent the same year. Her 2007 debut album Marry Me received praise for its intricate arrangements and unexpected compositional twists, paving the way for the success of 2009 sophomore effort Actor, a Top 10 hit on Billboard's Independent Albums Chart. With the early-2014 release of her fifth album, Clark once again drew unilateral praise from critics, cracking the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 and embarking on an international headlining tour.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
" Even better live than on her albums, St. Vincent lit up the Fox. It was an awesome mashup reminiscent of Bowie, Mercury and Gaga. I loved it, and will be back for more."
"Gorgeous songs, surprising choreography, enchanted excitement. I urge anyone who loves sophisticated pop to see this show."
"Yes, yes, yes, and yes! Great playing, awesome sound, killer production aesthetics and an overall great SHOW. St. Vincent and her band are kicking butt and taking names."

Awesome Show
by PitcherIPA on 10/20/11The Music Box - HollywoodRating: 5 out of 5I 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.

Heavy on quirk, heavier on charm
by jvajgrt on 2/16/10Bluebird Theater - DenverRating: 5 out of 5St. 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 love St. Vincent too
by BillK2 on 2/16/10Bottleneck - LawrenceRating: 4 out of 5I 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.
Possibly the greatest artist of the decade
by UncertainModernist on 2/15/10El Rey Theatre - Los AngelesRating: 5 out of 5Annie 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?
Just as great live!
by OKJoeK on 2/15/10El Rey Theatre - Los AngelesRating: 5 out of 5Had 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.
Better Live
by liztheaspirant on 2/15/10Bluebird - DenverRating: 5 out of 5Annie 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.
Great concert
by Pettyflor on 2/14/10Bluebird Theater - DenverRating: 5 out of 5The 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
st. vincent is the awesome sauce!

St. Vincent was perfect. Also enjoyed the opening band Wildbirds & Peacedrums.
Annie Clark is amazing!
by Kenimic on 2/10/10El Rey Theatre - Los AngelesRating: 5 out of 5The 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.
st. vincent is really good.
by hipsternation on 2/10/10El Rey Theatre - Los AngelesRating: 5 out of 5The 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.
St. Vincent
by Edacherry on 2/10/10El Rey Theatre - Los AngelesRating: 5 out of 5Simply put, she was amazing. I didn't want to leave at the end of the show.
Annie was incredible, the vibe was great.
by Bapudi on 2/10/10El Rey Theatre - Los AngelesRating: 5 out of 5A 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.
St. Vincent is jaw-dropping, soul-shredding live
by Xenu on 11/9/09El Rey - Los AngelesRating: 5 out of 5I 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.
great rising star - St. Vincent
by fishoutofwater on 7/21/09Webster Hall - New YorkRating: 4 out of 5Great concert from St. Vincent this spring in NY. I was wondering how some of the back-up vocals would be handled, seeing as how Annie is really the only singer. The opening track (Strangers) didn't fare so well in that regard, but it got better as the show went on. The whole band has admirable chops, and they did a high-energy show.
St. Vincent is a fun show
by amazingrace on 7/15/09First Avenue - MinneapolisRating: 4 out of 5I liked the show and the venue. The opening act (pattern is movement) was good but I'm also glad they didn't play too many songs like some opening acts do. It was a good balance. St. Vincent was fun to hear and watch. The venue was a good size (small, but not cramped).
