Shearwater Tiny Desk Concert for NPR

NPR in the States just can't get enough of Shearwater. They have streamed and archived a full live concert and had them in for a studio session. And earlier this week they had them perform a Tiny Desk Concert which you can enjoy here:

St Vincent announced for Sydney Festival

The inimitable Annie Clarke will be returning to our shores for a run of three shows at Sydney Festival in January 2009.

A touring member of Sufjan Steven's band, Annie performed a one off show with My Brightest Diamond for a lucky Melbourne audience but the rest of the country missed out. Not this time, fingers crossed. She will be performing three shows in at The Famous Spiegeltent for Sydney Festival. No news yet on other side shows just yet but fingers and toes are crossed.

ST VINCENT
Fri 16 Jan – Sydney, Sydney Festival Spiegeltent
Sat 17 Jan – Sydney, Sydney Festival Spiegeltent
Sun 18 Jan – Sydney, Sydney Festival Spiegeltent

If you haven't picked up a copy of St Vincent's debut album 'Marry Me', now would be a great time to seek it out.

And the fantastic Dumbo Sessions videos including a stunning performance of the Jackson Browne penned 'These Days' (originally recorded by Nico)



And if you just can't get enough of the gorgeous Annie Clarke here are some great polaroids that the peeps at Gorilla vs Bear recently took at Fun Fun Fun Fest.
