St Vincent @ The Firebird - Recap

The Firebird commissions local artists to do the posters for their larger shows, and by request, on this particular awesome poster, Ms Annie Clark herself drew a mustache.

Honestly, I was shocked by how good this show was considering the complexities of her music.

The addition of a multi-talented/ multi-instrumented band (sax, violin, etc) was key to letting Annie flourish.

The highlight of the night was the first song, "Marry Me,"  which, with the help of the backing band, seemed to rise and fall with the intensity of her singing.

Here's a longer than 5 sentence review of the show from the River Front Times and a stream of her live performance at one of the best radio stations in the world, KDHX.

St Vincent @ Firebird - St Louis 10/01/09

Marry me, Annie Clark

No, seriously

I heard bad things about the last St Vincent tour, but I must say, full woodwind band totally works.

Covers "Dig A Pony" live!!!!

Way better live performer/singer than I anticipated and I highly recommend seeing her.
