“Show of hands, who has a Prince Albert?” These were some of the first – and only – words spoken by St. Vincent at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday evening. Interestingly, the number of hands raised was not insignificant.
The Oklahoma-born alt-rock sensation brought together an odd jumble of fans for the only London stop on her All Born Screaming tour. The crowd ranged from overtly loved-up couples in their 40s (the singer herself is 41), to older ex-rocker types, plus a smattering of intimidating, Matrix-inspired art school students. There were also, of course, many lesbians – who have largely claimed St. Vincent as their own since she publicly dated both Kristen Stewart and Cara Delevigne (the musician describes herself as sexually ‘fluid’).
