About this concert
Shilpa Ray is a wailing, fire breathing Cyclops. She tornadoes everything in her path: small towns, big cities, and childrens dreams. One of her fans commented on a YouTube video, If theres a heaven, I want God to hire Shilpa Ray to sing the list of my sins. Within a few hours, she had a day job working for Saint Peter. Ray has ripped off all the greatsThe Gun Club, Tom Waits, The Doors and recently pulled off a triple rip: ripping off Nina Simone ripping off Screamin Jay Hawkins ripping off the Devil.Shilpa Ray released her album Teenage and Torture in 2011 on Knitting Factory Records and found her biggest fan in Nick Cave, who started telling music journalists she was his favorite current band. Cave brought her on tour as support for a few Grinderman dates, recorded the Wiel/Brecht song Pirate Jenny with her for Hal Wilners Rogues Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs and Chanteys II, and then hired her to sing backup on his Spring 2013 Bad Seeds tour as well as main support for their Fall 2013 UK and Europe tour in order to promote her 4-song EP Its All Self Fellatio -- released on Caves record label Bad Seed LTD. She has also served as main support for Man Man and Acid Mothers Temple as well as the opening act for Elvis Costello, Patti Smith, and A Place to Bury Strangers.

Shilpa Ray Biography
Nobody grows up wanting to be an artist’s artist. Appreciated by the sub sect of the sub sect is like being the beauty queen at the leper colony. Hell, anybody who claims they grew up wanting to even be an artist rather than an astronaut or a Cthulhu is probably lying or was a corny kid. Art is hard and degrading and generally bullshit. Your friends will find you irritating and your parents will certainly not throw you a parade. But if you’re an artist you’re an artist; the soul will fuck you every time, what can you do?
Shilpa Ray is, through no fault of her own, one of our unsung great artists. Having made her bones with the gothic Sturm und Drang of Beat The Devil and moving forward to the blues erosion of “…and The Happy Hookers” Shilpa Ray has been, armed only with an incomparable voice and harmonium haunted by the ghosts of dead lovers, perpetually crying in the wind, hoisting both middle fingers in the general direction of god. It’s not a life a wise man would choose. Shilpa Ray kicks against the pricks but the pricks keep coming. But, again, what can you do?
