ST. VINCENT: FEAR THE FUTURE TOUR
with Tuck & Patti
Chicago Theatre
Fri 1/12/18

St. Vincent’s “Fear The Future Tour” for 2018: A Rock n’ Roll Fembot of an extravaganza bar none.
St. Vincent alone. Unaccompanied with fellow musicians.
A show curtain briefly opening stage right- and slowly opening up a little more after every song.
Once fully opened: St. Vincent alone center stage, channeling all of her inner rage with her bright multi- colored guitars.
St. Vincent- Equally praised for her stage presentation as well as her out of control and majestic guitar playing.
The first half of the show: A chronological order of all her well known older material.
The second half of the show after a brief intermission: St. Vincent performing her new release “MASSEDUCTION” in its entirety, involving sophisticated visuals that were stunning in color and the dominatrix aesthetic she has embraced for this particular album.
St. Vincent: A brash and seductive performer, who makes you imagine what life would be like in the not so distant future where art and music collide, and confident that if you survive whatever calamity comes your way, you can take refuge in the brave chasm that is all “Rock Goddess”.
St. Vincent’s “Fear The Future Tour”.
Damn right.
St. Vincent’s way way way ahead of her time.
