Artist: St. Vincent

So it was a somewhat blustery Hallowe'en one – same as every year, or so it'd seem. And whilst the Samhain celebration ushering in that eternally damned darker half of the year may occur annually, and with the unerring tedium of the equivalently wretched wallet-voiding guising it entails, down round The Forum a momentous sense of occasion did brood. A one-off exclusive; a "late night double feature." Not since 2007 have Tim DeLaughter's The Polyphonic Spree been about these dank and windswept parts, and indeed in the interim period the boys and girls in the floor-length [...]

David Byrne and St. Vincent stopped by the Colbert Report for a brief interview and performed "Who." Watch both videos below: ...

David Byrne & St. Vincent will be the musical guests on "The Colbert Report" (Comedy Central, 10:30pm CST) tonight, playing music from their new album, Love This Giant .

Love This Giant is the new collaboration between St. Vincent and former Talking Heads singer David Byrne. As I said when I first posted about it in July, this seemingly strange pairing made perfect sense to me since they share a flare for the eccentric. The album as a whole doesn't quite live up to [...]

Today I had a special guest in the show. The lovely Jenna Tenn-Yuk came in to play live songs and her poetry. Check it out!

all photos by Dave Lichterman Back in 1984, in an interview with himself , Talking Heads' David Byrne stated that he would tour again "when there is something new to say to an audience." While the songs themselves need not be new, the performance should be fresh and inventive, which in those days meant donning an oversized suit, serenading a floor lamp, and having band members appear one at a time. Their concert film of that year, Stop Making Sense , now has such significance for Talking Heads die-hards because it was [...]

The term "supergroup" is often used to refer to a set of musicians who are best known in association with their respective bands - musicians who haven't necessarily operated as solitary acts in their own right, and are culled together to see what their individual untapped energies will create when synthesized. By contrast, when speaking [...]

Photograph of David Bryne and St. Vincent by Julie Logan Mixed in between grungy and disgruntled homeless people on Market St. last night, St. Vincent and David Bryne played to a rapt crowd at the Orpheum Theatre. As a plush theatre intended for musicals and plays rather than concerts, the venue was a huge hindrance. Adoring fans so energized by the show had to take to the aisles or dance between chairs with the short awkward movements of David Bryne. I can just imagine the delighted chaos that would have ensued at a venue [...]

• virtualmert - David Byrne & St. Vincent Burning Down The House From the Tower Theater 9/27/2012

There was a lot of brass at Saturday night's concert featuring David Byrne & St. Vincent at the Greek Theatre — including a little from Annie Clark (aka St. Vincent), who confessed that the first time she was exposed to Byrne's music was via the movie "Revenge of Nerds." All understandable, given that she's 30 and the Talking Heads frontman is 60. Their show, which featured the majority of songs from their collaborative album "Love This Giant" as well as retooled selections from their individual catalogs, was riveting stuff. Check out Mikael Wood's review in the Times [...]

photo by Dave Lichterman The xx released this new video for "Chained" off their most recent album  Coexist . If the lyrics and male/female vocal layers don't get you, the beauty of this video added to the music certainly will. Directed by the Young Replicant Team from The Creator's Project, the video is as minimal but deeply affecting as the band's sound. Toro y Moi , or Chaz to his friends, released this blurping single, "So Many [...]

• ToroyMoi - So Many Details

We've reached the tail end of the North American leg of David Byrne and St. Vincent's collaborative Love This Giant Tour. The pair planned out every aspect of their show, especially its inventive choreography. NPR Music has just posted a great mini-documentary detailing the final rehearsals for the tour at the Wellmont Theatre in Montclair, New Jersey... The tour descends upon the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco tonight.

El tema no se agota. Al disco Love this Giant  de David Byrne  y St. Vincent  siguó como consecuencia lógica la gira, la cual arancó hace un par de semanas. Éste es uno de los discos que más ha dado de que hablar este año. Y es un buen álbum. Para los que sigue todo lo relacionado a esta colaboración, he aquí un tras bambalinas que nos deja ver no sólo cómo es un ensayo para la gira, sino también la tensión -positiva y profesional- entre Byrne y Clark.

Wow - that month went by fast. Probably because I was too busy and tired to keep track of it. Crayzey. Unfortunately I wasn't able to keep up as well with music as usual due to my not being able to access the internet for most of the week. But I've been doing my best during the weekend, mostly just making sure to catch the big new albums, but still, I'm checking the blogs. Here are the highlights of September. 1. Lust For Youth - Behind Curtains 2. David Byrne and St. Vincent - Who [...]

Above is the video for "Labrador," which is hilarious in the way that only Mann can be.
