The closest to the triangle they are coming is Asheville (June 15) or Charlotte (June 18) - June 15 is a Saturday, so that's where I'll be, folks. Haven't seen David since the Dec 2008 show at Meymandi for the Everything that Happens will Happen Today album which, by the way, was amazing.
Not sure if this is going to be like, St Vincent does some songs, Byrne does some songs, then THEY do some songs, (*hope*) but either way - this is happening, folks. THIS IS HAPPENING! YAY!!!!
Here is a crap video i shot of the Meymandi show in 2008 of the song "strange overtones"
This show will be my third time seeing THE MAN and if I'm lucky, my third time meeting him, as well.
fyi, in case you didn't know... David Byrne is the 3rd piece in my holy trifecta of musical perfection and holiness. aka, I'm a huge fan. Here is an article i wrote about him/TH last year.
Tickets go on sale Friday here. ($47.00 & $59.50) If anyone knows anything about pre-sales, please contact me ASAP. thanks!

| hello you strange and wonderful man, i admire you ruthlessly! thank you for coming to hang out with me! |
YOU'VE MET HIM?! I just died a little. They've been touring as Love This Giant, you should check them out! I know they've also been doing some of St. Vincent's stuff, so I'm certain they've been doing David's. I'm dying to go!
ReplyDeletei've heard the st vincent/byrne songs, and i love them but just haven't been able to catch them live yet :)
Deleteyep - twice! first time when i was working for record exchange at a meet and greet after a show at the cat's cradle for Look Into the eyeball and then another time at one of his art shows at SECCA in Winston Salem. he did a lecture and then a book signing after. i got him to create and original drawing for me and then i took a picture with him of me giving him bunny ears. *swoon*
