Db Joins The Arcade Fire On Stage In Nyc

Did I find you, or you find me?…

No, not that DB. But, THAT DB was present to witness David Byrne join The Arcade Fire on stage at the Irving Plaza in New York on Wednesday evening, for a rendition of his old band’s (the much missed Talking Heads) quite beautiful song, (as quoted in today’s lyric) This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody), from the very funky 1983 album, Speaking In Tongues.

THAT DB has been bangin’ on about The Arcade Fire to anyone he thinks will listen since last year, and with very good reason. If you’ve still not heard the brilliant debut album, Funeral, you really must check it out…as David suggested in his journal entry back in November.

The band embarks on a short European tour in March, including two dates in London. Here’s the itinerary:

The Arcade Fire March 2005 European Tour

8th London UK Kings College
10th Paris, France Le Nouveaux Casino
11th Amsterdam, Netherlands Melkweg
13th Berlin, Germany Magnet
14th Oslo, Norway Garage
15th Stockholm, Sweden Debaser
17th London, UK ULU

They then travel back across the water for some Canadian shows but are back in Europe for more dates in May, if you don’t manage to catch them this time.

Funeral will be released in Europe on February 28th as a CD and gatefold vinyl through Rough Trade… that’s for those of you mad enough not to already own an import copy of the album.
