Hey everyone! As I mentioned a few days ago I'd be live blogging the Sky Ferreira concert tonight. This is Sky's first tour, in support of her long awaited album which is finally here. It peaked at #8 on iTunes, with little to no promotion from her label, which she has notoriously been struggling with to release an album for almost 5 years now.
For those of you that don't know, Sky Ferreira is not just a musician, but also a model and an actress. She uses her modeling and acting career as a way of funding her music. She has stated that she does this to have as much creative control over her music as possible, which is another reason why she's clashed with her label in the past.
Sky has modeled for Forever 21, Marc Jacobs, Vogue, Elle, and a number of other high profile magazines and retailers. In addition, she has acted in a number of independent films, most notably Putty Hill, which was screened at a number of film festivals, including the Berlin Film Festival. She and the film received good notices from critic Roger Ebert. Recently she appeared in a short film called IRL, directed by Grant Singer (who she has collaborated with on many of her music videos). She's set to star in Eli Roth's horror film, "The Green Inferno", which is about a group of students on a trip to protect a group of natives in the Amazon, however, they are taken hostage by those same natives.
Anyway, enough background, I've babbled enough. I'm waiting right now for my friend to come pick me up so we can start driving into the city. The liveblog will begin below with various updates throughout the night. Enjoy! :)
