Contemporary Color and Flag-Waving Fanfare to Close Houston Cinema Arts Festival (Houston Press)

November 2 2016

News

Luckily, last year Talking Heads’ David Byrne paired pop stars (Nelly Furtado), indie rock stars (St. Vincent), and Beastie Boys (Ad-Rock) with color guard teams to create visually pleasing, synchronized routines of flag-waving technicolor – and the Ross Brothers (Bill and Turner) were there to film it.
