After earning rave reviews for her latest album Strange Mercy and live performances in the United Kingdom and America, St. Vincent is bringing her show to Oz.
Strange Mercy was named one of the best albums of last year by a host of music bibles including The Guardian, Pitchfork, NME, and Q. She also attracted a few new eyeballs with appearances on Gossip Girl and Portlandia.
Refreshingly St. Vincent refuses to spend her time patting koalas and taking happy snaps near the Harbor Bridge like the other touring artists do. She wants to see the best our cities have to offer, and she’s encouraging Aussie fans to help her out. Just send a tweet to @St_Vincent using the hashtag #StVincentInOz to make your suggestion. If she likes your tip the best, St. Vincent will reward you with a double pass to your local show and an autographed T-shirt.
St. Vincent plays the following Aussie shows over the next fortnight.
8 March 2012 – Rosemount, Perth
10 March 2012 – The Hi-Fi, Brisbane
12 March 2012 – Factory Theatre, Sydney
14 March 2012 – The Hi-Fi, Melbourne
