St. Vincent @ 92Y Tribeca, NYC 4/14/09

While Jack and Alison were showing Bowery just how comfortable they were singing into the same mic, Annie Clark performed her own intimate set across town at the 92Y space in Tribeca. It was an invite-only show, although a last minute notice to her mailing list subscribers ensured it wasn't just an industry drag. The roughly one-hour set focused on the prematurely evaluated Actor LP with a side of Marry Me crowd pleasers ("Jesus Saves, I Spend," "Marry Me," etc.). Annie went solo for most of it, calling out a sax/clarinet man for a couple (including "Marry" and a set-closing, acoustic guitar take on "The Party"). Of course her "Actor Out Of Work" got some stage time and good applause, Clark noting that a recent crowd in Los Angeles gave it an overall sigh. NYC is good like that, Annie. Just don't sing "Writer Out Of Work" and your sets here will be sigh-free. We sent Dese'Rae L. Stage to take it all in. The photos are hers, and the following tour dates are St. Vincent's:

I wonder if St. Vincent wasn't so hot if anyone would give a shit about her tunes....

What if she looked like the fat girl in the Vivian Girls....hmmm....food for thought.

Yes, they would, because St. Vincent writes great music. Also, boo.

You remind me of this one time when I stepped in dog shit, and no matter how much I tried to scrape it off it never completely left, so the shoes I was wearing became my 'lawn cutting shoes' from then on. Boo, as well.

No. No one would care. Cat Power, Joanna Newsom, Neko Case, St. Vincent...all hot. All popular.

I was at the Hollywood Forever show. There were definite sighs around the room. That is not a made up story. Also, you walk a dangerous analytical line when you start manipulating aesthetics in a vacuum and to paraphrase the "2nose" commenter, just stop already.
