Music legend and former Talking Heads lead singer David Byrne has announced that he will be doing a new monthly radio show. It will be called ‘Here Comes Everybody’. This is something that is sure to excite both fans of Talking Heads and Byrnes’ solo material as they may now get to hear exclusive news through his new format.
The show launched yesterday on the Sonos Sound System Station which can be found on the Sonos app. It can be found today on Mixcloud in its entirety. Going forward, the show will be made available to listen to on the first of every month for the foreseeable future. This is not the first time that Byrne has ventured outside of music as he has taken part in acting jobs and TED Talks for a few years now.

Later this year another one of his side projects, the Broadway show American Utopia, is set to have a film version premiere on HBO. This is set to be directed by Spike Lee which shows the quality of the work. The production is written by Byrne and features songs from his solo work and his Talking Heads days. So, again, fans of both sets of work will be able to find some enjoyment out of this.
The show toured the world off the back of his solo album of the same name, before making the transition into being a broadway show. He subsequently named his live EP of the show after a review from NME. He named it “The best live show of all time”. This is both wildly cocky and genius at the same time.
Throughout the years Byrne has shown us that to be a musician, does not mean you have to stick to that. From acting, writing, doing TED Talks, cycling and doing multiple radio shows Byrne has covered it all. This is forgetting the amount of classics that he has produced whilst in a band and out of one. He really is one of the most adaptable artists around even after all these years.
His show has been described as ‘the best live show around’, and fans are holding out hope for his radio show as well as potential live gigs once it’s been deemed safe for them. Not only does it carry this mantle but it also is being directed by another unique character in Spike Lee which ensures the quality of the production will be taken to another level with the top class director at the helm.
