Regina Spektor
Obelisk Arena
Friday 17th July, 2009A veteran figure in the burgeoning New York anti-folk scene, Regina Spektor will be bringing her quirky, highly eclectic yet beautifully personal music to Latitude’s Obelisk Arena on the Friday. Born and raised in Moscow she moved to the Bronx in New York as a child and set about developing her classical piano training whilst fusing it with the blues and jazz she was influenced by. Cutting her teeth in New York’s underground clubs it was fourth album ‘Begin To Hope’ in 2006 that brought her worldwide successes. Experimental, multi-instrumental, blues, punk, jazz are all drawn in to compliment her lyrical vignettes and produce music that’s original and compelling. This performance will be unmissable.
She joins Obelisk Arena headliners Pet Shop Boys, Grace Jones and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds plus the incredible Doves and Editors – with many more acts to be announced for the rest of the weekend.
