I just missed a St. Vincent show. Annie Clark came to Charlottesville, the city where I live, on Saturday, the same night that hardcore greats Trapped Under Ice headlined Richmond’s United Blood fest. I don’t regret my decision, since TUI were fucking awesome, but I wish I could’ve seen both. St. Vincent has been awfully busy lately, playing with Arcade Fire and David Byrne on the SNL50 concert and joining the surprise Nirvana reunion at the FireAid benefit. The whole time, she’s also been touring behind All Born Screaming, the 2024 album that won a bunch of Grammys. That album cycle isn’t over yet, and St. Vincent popped up Wednesday night on Stephen Colbert’s Late Show.
