NEWS: St. Vincent Tour Confirmed For NZ

Texan songstress St. Vincent, a.k.a Annie Clark, is coming to New Zealand to debut her new full band show and promote her third album Strange Mercy.

St. Vincent will be backed by her three piece touring band and will play Auckland's Kings Arms on Sunday 18th of March and Wellington's San Francisco Bath House on Monday 19th of March.

'Strange Mercy' has received critical acclaim since its release in September 2011. Debuting at #18 in the Billboard Top 200 in the US and scored 9.0 by Pitchfork, the album has been selected for key year-end lists: #7 in NME, #8 in Q, #9 in Time, and #26 in Rolling Stone (US), among many others.

This is not Clark’s first trip to NZ: she has previously performed at the New Zealand International Arts Festival, and with fellow Texans The Polyphonic Spree.

As Kitty Empire from The Observer notes, "Clark’s impressive guitar skills see her in high demand as a musical collaborator. “Her song with Bon Iver, "Roslyn", ended up on a Twilight soundtrack, and she is currently working on a record with Talking Head David Byrne.”

Don't miss your chance to see St. Vincent live and up close.
