David Byrne and Dirty Projectors outtake

text: Matt Carr

David Byrne and the Dirty Projectors collaborated on the track “Knotty Pine” for the Dark Was The Night compilation released earlier this year. It turns out it wasn’t the only track that came out of the session. Byrne posted a second, “Ambulance Man,” on David Byrne radio and performed the song at the Dark Was The Night concert. The song’s a duet of sorts with Byrne and David Longstreth--an oddly fitting combination. Thank JP’s blog for the find.

I’d like to clarify that for this show they cut off the back half of Neumo’s floor with a curtain and had the upstairs bar closed. It made Neumo’s obviously seem much smaller than it is. Unfortunately, now having seen Neumo’s fully open at another show I can say that this show was very empty. Still White Denim and Brazos rocked.

I agree, it’s very good. Way to deflate their balloon.

Love the photos. And that “Walkabout” song is the drugs.

Wow… really sad there are no Chicago dates for this. Can’t wait to hear how the PHJB benefit compilation sounds. So many amazing musicians and for a really great cause as well.
