Speaking Heads’ David Byrne Performs a Tiny Desk Live performance

In case you’ve seen a David Byrne con­cert in recent times, you understand that he per­kinds with a big ensem­ble of musi­cians, every automotive­ry­ing their very own instru­ments throughout the stage, all whereas mov­ing in intri­cate­ly chore­o­graphed pat­terns. On his cur­hire tour, Byrne and his band stopped by NPR’s stu­dio and performed a really dif­fer­ent type of present—a present tight­ly squeezed behind NPR’s Tiny Desk. As you will note above, they per­fashioned two songs (“Each­physique Laughs” and “Don’t Be Like That”) from Byrne’s new album, together with two Speak­ing Heads favorites, “(Noth­ing However) Circulation­ers” and “Life Dur­ing Wartime.” Take pleasure in!
