David Byrne reveals dates for "Songs of Byrne and Eno" tour

After much speculation and anticipation, details on David Byrne's long-awaited "Songs of Byrne and Eno" tour (which is sadly still Brian Eno-less), have at last begun to emerge, and it's a doozy. The tour will see the erstwhile Talking Heads frontman performing an assortment of jams from the duo's archive, as well as promoting their upcoming LP, Everything that Happens Will Happen Today.

Byrne will be zig-zagging across the U.S. through early 2009, after which he'll be heading down to Australia and ending up in Europe by March 2009. The dates for the first leg of the tour have been revealed and they are, to say the least, comprehensive:
