Scout Niblett (that's her with the monkey) is a woman who sings and plays guitar, and we like her 3-song EP Dinosaur Egg, released back in May. The title track is about really hoping your dinosaur egg hatches and your robot slave springs to life in time for that party on Friday, so of course we love it. There's also a neat cover of The Cars' classic "Just What I Needed," and a slower, lengthier, but still very groovy track entitled "Just Do It." It's all fun stuff, so we're betting when Scout plays the North Star on Sunday, July 15, it'll be a good time, especially since Scout will be there supporting St. Vincent, which is the band of singer and multi-instrumentalist Annie Clark, who's played for such indie luminaries as The Polyphonic Spree and Sufjan Steven.

Well-clad in red Mary Janes, red tights, black skirt, white shirt and ascot, St. Vincent took the stage to a background of swirling, strobe light stars, chirping birds and an empty, yellow birdcage. While it might sound like the setting to a B-rate high school musical, it was the platform for Annie Clark to purvey her brand of finger-picking, guitar rock.

Her resume includes opening for acts such as Television, Xiu Xiu, and most recently, on her previous jaunt to Philadelphia, indie up and comers Midlake. You may also recognize her as one of The Polyphonic Spree. Or, perhaps you caught her as part of Sufjan Stevens’s touring band.
