Patron saint of gaga-eyed indie boys across the land, St. Vincent swept through Los Angeles' Echoplex this past weekend on a pilgrimage to discover the true meaning behind her 2007 bid for matrimony. Said meaning will apparently only reveal itself after St. Vincent plays many a song for the kids, so that's just what she and band did.

Unlike past jaunts that had St. Vincent's Annie Clark supporting folks like Sufjan, Midlake, and Jolie Holland, this current one-- bound for Portland tonight-- finds St. Vincent topping the bill. And, at the Echoplex anyway, projected larger-than-life behind the stage as well. Maybe those big faces will translate to big wins at the PLUG Awards in March?
