Upcoming Shows

[Miroir Noir]

"Digital Witness" is playing on my local FM rawk station and she's doing SNL in two weeks. Pretty sure she can handle opening for the Black Keys without it being a profoundly alienating experience for all involved.

This isn't strange at all really. St. Vincent isn't the Knife. And Black Keys' fans aren't Tool/Rage fans.

Right, it's an incredibly diverse fan base.

[heart cooks brain]

Maybe it's been too long since I've seen her, but she never struck me as being weird for any audience. What the fuck am I missing?

she lays down while singing now. it's bizarre.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Speculation Thursday! Let's just make assumptions and correct people with no basis whatsoever!

Would you care to explain why you think these things are not true? Do you think that Live Nation would book The Black Keys and not have a contract stipulation that they not play an AEG-owned venue a mile away shortly after? Have you never seen a performer do something different than their headlining slots in an opening slot for a larger band? I don't think suggesting that is any stranger than just suggesting that the fans will be utterly confused by her performance.

I'm not "correcting" anyone or making anything up. You can continue to, for some reason, be perturbed by my comments on here, but what i am saying are perfectly reasonable points of discussion.

[Miroir Noir]

she lays down while singing now. it's bizarre.

We should also remember that "weird" is in right now. See, e.g., everything from the Miley Cyrus tour props to the rise of the Future Islands dude. Mainstream concert goers like seeing stuff they can tweet about. Everyone wants to be there for the next meme.

I'm not perturbed, and yes your comments are reasonable. It's just odd when you act as though you're a voice of authority when you have no more of a clue of how things work/artists' intentions than we do. I dunno, maybe it's just personal preference, I don't really go on about things that have little to go off of. Carry on.

I hear she's also no longer a brunette. People are going to be leaving in droves.

[heart cooks brain]

they're going to be pissed when she doesn't play burning hown the house.

I didn't realize my words exuded so much confidence that what I was saying seemed to suggest I knew something more than what my own anecdotal experience or previous examination of events would provide. I will try to use more smiley faces and colloquial language from now on.

Also, cyber-hugs to you.

Where's bumblebee when we need her?

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Whoa, bumblebee is a woman?

Live Nation books shows at Staples Center all the time. It would obviously be announced after MIA so not like it would compete with the festival. Granted, The Forum is always in play but Staples is not out of the question.

not to butt in here, but everyone posts as if they're a voice of authority.

[kreutz2112]

Anyone else get in for nick cave this morning? I pulled orch left row L. The theater looks cool. I am pretty excited, as the number of shows I get to these days has dwindled to about 3 or 4 a year.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

The theater is absolutely stunning. I wish I could afford to go right now.

I really don't think Speculation Thursday is going to catch on as much as some of the other Thursday traditions out there. Without alliteration it will never stick. It’d be more popular on a Saturday or Sunday.

[fikus222]

I'll stick to Thigh High Thursday, thank you very much.

Truth bomb: for all of her high art pretensions and trappings, the soft commercial middle was always the scheduled destination for St. Vinny.

Choreographed dance routines and stage banter?! I guess touring with David Byrne pushed her in that direction....

I have two tix that I can't use for tonight's "Who Is William Onyeabor" show at the Greek in LA. They're in Section A Left, Row E. They were 65/each with fees, but I can go down a bit if need be. If anyone's interested in going, please PM me.

Are they added to this? http://www.1015.com/events/1015/053014

There were moments during St. Vincent's show where I felt she could slay in an arena. Her popularity shouldn't soar too much after SNL and touring with the Black Keys, but she'll definitely (as if she hasn't already) gain a large following of people that miss the point of Digital Witness. If she opens in SF/LA I'll probably have to revisit the Black Keys.

Sweet, I won a pair of tickets to Who is William Onyeabor tonight!

Yup! I had row M Orch but let it go in favor of Row A in the left balcony. It was spendy but I love Nick and, like Drinkey says, the venue is a stunner. Going to be a great couple nights.

Btw, for anyone that needs one ticket to the show at the Shrine, I have row 7, aisle, center section available. I'll let it go with a discount. PM me.

Ummmmm, they could just play at The Forum. You seem to be forgetting that Live Nation has their own arena here again. And Aeg/GV let Arcade Fire perform at Coachella, and then announce their shows at The Forum, which by your thinking is a big no no.

[amyzzz]

I'm a dork, but I think I might want to see the Black Keys with St Vincent. not separately, but together, maybe.
