St. Vincent w/ Wildbirds & Peacedrums @ El Rey

St. Vincent

“Jesus saves. I spend.” Ohh, that St. Vincent is a cheeky one. The nymph-like Annie Clark (aka St. Vincent) will be charming the El Rey on February 9th –armed with big-doe eyes, mischievous lyrics, an entrancing voice, and the help of Wildbirds & Peacedrums from Sweden. More music and details after the jump…

LA Weekly and Goldenvoice present St. Vincent with Wildbirds & Peacedrums at the El Rey Theater (which happens to be one of my favorite venues in LA). Get ready for the magnetic St. Vincent and her new album Actor–an inspired new work; developed by Clark “immersing herself in some of her favorite films, Badlands, Pierrot le Fou, The Wizard of Oz, Stardust Memories, Sleeping Beauty, and beginning each song as a secret film score, then slowly giving it independence as its structure and lyrics came fully into focus. The resulting eleven tracks are as cinematic as pop songs can be, but the movie is a private one.” Make sure you get a seat.

*This event takes place on Tuesday, February 9th, 2010 at the El Rey, located at 5515 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90036. Doors open at 8pm. Tickets are $18. Need more information? Check out the website.
