Concert Photos + Words | Neko Case + Karen Elson at The Pageant in St. Louis

All photos by Nate Burrell

On Sunday evening, Neko Case brought her current tour in support of her latest album, The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You, to The Pageant in St. Louis. Although somewhat slowed by a migraine, or an “eye worm,” as Case kept referring, the singer-songwriter’s voice sounded just fine on older songs like “Maybe Sparrow,” “The Pharoahs,” and “Hold On, Hold On,” and newer songs like “Calling Cards” and “Ragtime.” It’s a damn shame she didn’t perform “Nearly Midnight, Honolulu,” but perhaps that was too heavy for a Sunday.
