Tickets are now on sale for St.Vincent’s visit to Bristol next month

Posted on: 12 Apr 2024

Modern indie-rock guitar legend St Vincent is dropping into Bristol’s SWX next month, Friday 31 May, for a tour of her primal new album.

Anne Erin Clark, better known as St. Vincent, is an indie rock musician from Tulsa, Oklahoma – known for her highly-skilled, melodic guitar, she started her career in 2003 with a joint EP with her fellow students at the prestigious Berklee College of Music.

Since then, she’s gone from strength to strength, with her masterful guitar skills earning her the accolade of 26th-greatest guitarist of all time from Rolling Stone, and enjoying collaborations with names as big as Taylor Swift (co-writing number one single ‘Cruel Summer’) and David Byrne (the album Love This Giant).

Now, St. Vincent is kicking things up a notch with her first fully self-produced album (having co-produced every one of her previous efforts: All Born Screaming. The ‘primal’ new album is equal parts spiritual desolation and rapturous acceptance – the life-affirming guttural cry of a scream heralds pumping blood to St. Vincent.

In celebration of the album, SV is touring across the US and Europe. With just two UK dates on the tour, Bristol is highly privileged to get a visit from the masterful musician – as she’s swinging by our very own SWX just next month to rock the city.

 

 

Witness Clark and her “curated group of rippers” skillfully blast through tracks like the muscular “Broken Man” and the infectiously hypnotic “Flea”, flipping between poppy hooks and monstrous riffs – this isn’t one to miss.

Supporting Clark in her visit to Bristol will be UK-based gothy post-punk Heartworms (named for the Shins album of the same name) that NME described as “shit-hot” – a guttural nightmare that makes a perfect pairing with St. Vincent’s raw defiance.

Tickets are now on sale for St. Vincent’s visit to SWX on Friday 31 May, but likely won’t last long, so head to SWX’s website now to get your tickets.
