I just landed in Lima, Peru, where it is just going on 6am. Cleaning out the enormous amounts of e-mail accrued over the past 15 hours and then I find this gem:

“David Byrne will embark on a six-month world tour starting September 16. The tour, titled “David Byrne, Songs of David Byrne and Brian Eno,” will feature Byrne performing songs from his numerous collaborations with Brian Eno, including tracks from several Talking Heads albums produced by Eno, the pair’s 1981 collaboration My Life in the Bush of Ghosts and their newest collaborative effort, Everything That Happens Will Happen Today. “The live shows will…try to draw a line linking this new material with what we did 30 years ago,” explains Byrne. He will tour throughout the U.S. from the fall of ‘08 through early ‘09, Australasia in early ‘09 and Europe in March ‘09. Please see reverse for a list of dates.”

Obviously, I’m thrilled with the news that David Byrne will return to Milwaukee’s Pabst Theater on Wednesday, October 15th. Check back here for ticket price/info and on sale date which should be forthcoming.
