MUSIC > David Byrne shares "Perspectives" in New York

NEW YORK (Billboard) - Former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne has unveiled the lineup for his Perspectives series, which will he curate at New York's Carnegie Hall next February.

On opening night, February 1, Byrne will stage the first performance since 1992 of "The Knee Plays," a 1985 musical theater project created in tandem with Robert Wilson. The next evening, he will host an evening of experimental folk with Adem, Devendra Banhart, Vashti Bunyan, CocoRosie and Vetiver.

On February 3, Byrne and his band will unveil songs from "Here Lies Love," his "multimedia song cycle" with Fatboy Slim, which centers on the life of former Philippines first lady Imelda Marcos.

The series will close on February 4 with performances by Alarm Will Sound, Camille, Haale and other artists to be announced.

Byrne performed last week at a New York benefit for the 826 Writing Centers founded by author Dave Eggers. The show featured Byrne's collaboration with Sufjan Stevens on Lefty Frizzell's "Saginaw Michigan."
