Oh yeah! This is probably the most exciting concert announcement that Raleigh has had in years. Fresh off another amazing collaboration with Brian Eno, the legendary Talking Heads singer will grace the capital city with his presence in December.
Byrne has been touring around the states on the “Songs of David Byrne and Brian Eno” tour….but it’s only him and songs that the two of them wrote together (from both My Life in the Bush of Ghosts and Everything that Happens Will Happen Today) . According to this wiki entry, he even played Once in a Lifetime and a handful of other Talking Heads songs at the first show of the tour in September. And he opened with Strange Overtones, easily the best song on the new album. If you haven’t head the new album, grab it here. It is one of the best albums of 2008.
