I saw St Vincent at Castle Clinton one summer evening. Trees, sunshine (too much sunshine!) and a peculiar historical building - worked well. Pics here http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2008/07/st_vincent_cast.html don't show the venue much. She was very into Prince then which wasn't my thing, but a good guitarist nonetheless.

I liked "So Perfect" (the second one) and "King of Lies" better than "Isolated," maybe because they're more straight rock. However, she's closer to mainstream pop than I tend to like, both lyrically and musically. The first thing that comes to mind is Evanescence, but there's someone else in the back of my mind who's closer, who I can't quite put my finger on right now.
