If you haven’t listed to “Love This Giant,” the collaborative album from David Byrne and St. Vincent, it’s pretty fantastic. The two will play together on June 15 at Thomas Wolfe Auditorium. Here’s the full press release:
“David Byrne & St. Vincent will hit the road together again this summer for two months of North American dates. The tour kicks off with a two-night stand at the Wellmont Theatre in Montclair, NJ, June 11-12, and includes a stop at Bonnaroo on June 16. See below for dates, and watch NPR’s gorgeous live concert broadcast here: http://shorefi.re/Xl33jO
Called “marvelous” by the New Yorker and “magical” by NPR, the duo’s collaborative album, ‘Love This Giant’ (4AD / Todo Mundo), and tour last year earned rave reviews from TIME, New York Magazine, the NY Times, SPIN, and more, along with performances on Letterman, Fallon, and Colbert. The LA Times called their performance “jubilant,” The Washington Post described it as “a kind of show you’d never seen or heard before,” and the Hollywood Reporter praised their “amazing charisma.” Their Letterman performance will re-air March 6.
