If you have the opportunity to see David Byrne on this tour...DO!

I'm fresh off the heels of the show in Rochester as part of Jazzfest and I'm still buzzed from the experience.

Byrne recorded an album last year with St. Vincent and created some wildly eclectic stuff that you would expect from David Byrne.

St. Vincent reminds me an awful lot of Bjork in her vocalisations. As far as musicianship, David Byrne is a legend to follow, a majority of her playing is syncopated power strumming, not really my thing, but complimented the rest of the band well.

The current band features a 10-piece horns section, completely choreographed as they perform, its pretty wild.

Favorite tunes from last night included Like Humans Do, Wild, Wild Life and a classic TH song Burning Down The House with HORNS!

Check out this tour if you get a chance. You won't be disappointed.
